Question

Did Jesus shown practically 3 stages of spirituality?

Dualism / Dwaitha Philosophy
Qualified non-difference / visishta-advaitham Philosophy
Non-Dualism / Advaitham Philosophy

It is said that Jesus showed us practically 3 different stages of spirituality.

1. In his childhood he prays god and thinks that he and god are different.
2. Later he proclaims that he is son of god
3. Before his death he proclaims that he is god, by saying King of Nazareth

It is said that we are flowers of a tree. The tree is god. Initially when plucked out, the flower thinks that, it is different from the tree. When it is in the tree, it feels that it is a part of the tree. When you look at the whole tree, you realize that flower is also a tree.

This is the form of spirituality. Similar stages are explained in Islam too.

Son of God demonstrated practically the progress of spirituality.

Your enthusiasm to compare and join hands with people of all faiths in seeking God is laudable . Though God is one, the concepts and different ways to attain Him as they evolved in different geographical areas are distinct and hazarding a comparison usually leads to misunderstanding of undermining one religion's identity and God as they understand . But with good faith and spiritual enthusiasm and love for all religions I attempt a comparison here. The concept in BIble comes very close to Vishistadwaita . He always proclaims there is a God and he was sent to earth for a noble purpose. The qualified difference is evident in the folowing-
1)'All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father and no one knows the Father except the Son ' -Mathew 11, 27.
2)Simon Peter answered,'You are the Messaiah , the Son of living God''
Jesus replied,'Blessed are you, Simon ,son of Jona, for this was revealed to you in flesh and blood ,but by my Father in heaven.'- Mathew 16, 16, 17
3)'Father,if you are willing take this cup from me ;yet not my will, but yours be done 'Luke 22, 42
4)'I am the WAY and the truth and the life.No one comes to Father except through me. John, 14, 6
5)'On that day you realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me,and I am in you'. John 14, 20
6)'.......I am going to the Father for the Father is greater than I'
'As the Father has loved me ,so I have loved you'
John ,14, 28 &15 , 9
And many more. You also cannot say Dwaita ,Vishishtadwaita and Adwaita are 'stages' of development. The followers of each consider the one they follow or believe in is the ultimate truth.We donot know about Jesus' childhood in detail but it has been close to Vishishtadwaita from the moment He starts teaching the God's word. The example of water in two glasses poured into one by Madhwacharya and though water only his asking 'Kim parinaama vriddhihi?' is highly reminiscent of Jesus' ways, though not identical. Dwaita in terms of who don't believe or follow faithfully turns into Vishishtadwaita or so it appears superficially but Dwaita in classical form is composed of followers only, so not typically comparable as staging. He was continuously expressing God was different and He would send another advocate and cries why He deserted on the Cross and so Adwaita is not a comparable concept . He was Rex or King of IEUDEAS or the Jews as in INRI and it is a derisive remark to insult as Jews themselves were ruled by Romans and didn't have a kingdom of their own. It was Iesus OF Nazereth and not King.Merry Christms Happy NEW YEAR and Pongal!

Hello Brother!
Hahahahaahaah! Know why I am laughing? While reading this question I was thinking of answering about the tree and the flower. It is because I still remember what you told me! I was going to say what you taught me! You said it in advance! What more can I say? :) :) :) :)

Answer 3

Jesus (PBUH) was born a human being.
He was from infancy a Divine Prophet.
He worked as any other human would, with his hands.
He traveled, learned many things and taught many things.
He became "man-God/God-man", an "Insan Kamil", a fully realized human being, a "True Human Being".
He taught the "Truth of God", as he was commissioned to do as a "Prophet of God". When his mission was completed he made good his escape, and returned to "God The Creator", as he was required to do.

"Peace be always with you."

Salaams,
