Q. Did Christ suffer physically on the cross?
Baba: If not, why the body? What need for Jesus if he did not suffer? Christ suffered, or what would be the meaning of his taking a body?
Through his universal mind, which the knowledge of Godhood continually gives, he experiences that all is nothing, and is sustained by Godhood’s bliss. He suffers, but is not affected by the suffering. Knowledge means perfect union with God. The Master’s suffering is universal suffering, but this universal suffering has no effect on the Master’s Godhood.

“God takes on human form to shoulder the load of suffering that humanity suffers through ignorance.”
