Of course, December 25th, symbol of the birth of Jesus, is an appropriate time for awareness. For most of Christians, it is one more opportunity to express fervently their devotion towards the one who is one of the greatest masters who have ever lived on Earth.

However, devotion to Jesus - and it may appear as a paradox - may take us away from him and thus from the profoundness of His message. All kinds of devotion create a gap between the devotee and the object of devotion. A devotee can't imagine himself resembling the object of his devotion.

This is why I recommend you to thank, to respect, to honor Jesus for the message He left to us by dint of trials, sacrifices and sufferings but not to make Him the object of your devotion.
For the best way to love Him and respect Him is to follow His example.

Devotion must be towards the Christ who became manifest within Jesus and who only asks to do it within each of us. To be a Christ's devotee is to accept to become His humble servant. It's to acknowledge His role as a master and ours as a friend but also a servant. By this attitude is Christ revealed within man.

But Christ, I have to repeat it to you, is within each of us. Thus it is for each, following the example of Jesus, to do his, her way of the cross so as to become in his, her turn the manifestation of Christ on Earth.
You have to show discernment.

The Christ - or the Self - has to be the object of your devotion, for He represents Man in his highest dimension and above all it's his becoming.

On the other hand, man in his flesh, in his mortal dimension, as an ego, even if he is the greatest Master, mustn't become the object of your devotion. Nevertheless he is a pattern to follow, the example of an exemplary realization so as to walk in his footsteps.

This is why, I tell you, if you really wish to prove your deepest respect to our brother Jesus, don't bow down at his feet but do walk in his footsteps.

Don't kneel down to implore him but stand up and follow his example and in your turn take on the responsibility of your own way of the cross !That's the greatest proof of love and gratitude you will ever give him.

A master doesn't try to be worshiped, he only tries to bring a teaching. Only with your considering him as a brother will he succeed in attaining his aim, which is to help you to free yourself, so as from disciple you become one day your own master.

So that one day the Christ becomes manifest in your flesh too.

Thank you Jesus and thanks to all the ones who left their teachings and brought so much love to us.

May peace be with you for eternity.

And to all the readers of my message,
may you on this holy day, give birth to Christ within yourself.
