Why Jesus told Peter to keep the secret that He is the Christ?
---------------------------------------------------------------
In Gita everywhere Lord Krishna says that He is the Lord and He also advises Arjuna to keep Gita as the top secret (Rahasyam hyetat). The reason for this is that every human being cannot digest the concept of human incarnation and particularly the present human incarnation. The basic reason is that every human being is polluted by egoism and jealousy. Some may believe the past human incarnations that do not exist before their eyes. But it becomes very very difficult to believe the present human form of God because the present human incarnation eats, drinks, sleeps and suffers with illness like us.
When we see all these human activities of nature, the strongest ignorance (Maya) intoxicates us like wine and brings the doubts. Only the top most devotee and even such devotee in a particular span of time only can digest this most bitter truth. A realised soul understands the human incarnation in right spirit. The external human body is like the external shirt of a person. The shirt of that person can be cut by a blade like any other shirt. Similarly, the human body of the Lord follows all the rules of the nature. Arjuna could digest this truth just before the war because at that time he was in such a tragic mood so that he completely surrendered to Lord Krishna. At that time Arjuna was mature to absorb that truth. Therefore, the Lord repeatedly emphasized that truth and that was Gita.
But when the war was over that mood was lost and even though Arjuna asked Lord Krishna to repeat Gita, the Lord refused. If Krishna repeated Gita, Arjuna could not have digested that truth of human form of God. Whenever a devotee asked Jesus whether Jesus was the divine messenger of the Lord, Jesus agreed, but asked the devotee to keep it as a secret. If you say “worship God”, any human being can digest this concept and therefore, such a message is universal. But if you show an individual and say that he is God, such statement cannot be digested by most of the human beings. Therefore, such concept should be kept as top most secret. Gita emphasizes this concept of human incarnation everywhere and therefore, Gita cannot be universal. Of course Gita also contains universal concepts.
But most part of Gita contains only the emphasis of the most secret concept, which is related to the belief of the human incarnation. This is the reason why Jesus kept silent when the priests asked Him whether He was the messenger of God. If Jesus agreed to that concept the priests would have mocked more at Him and therefore Jesus did not reply to that question. The most dangerous side of the concept of human incarnation is that several human beings exploit and claim themselves as Lord. They cheat the people through this concept. Therefore, Mohammad buried this concept completely and declared that no human being can be the Lord. In fact, He himself was another form of Lord. But He did not mind to lower Himself to the state of messenger of God in order to avoid the exploitation by other cheating human beings.
Even Jesus told to most of His devotees that He was messenger of God only. To a few deserving devotees only He revealed the secret that He and His father are one and the same. Even Lord Krishna never told to any body that He is God except in Gita to Arjuna. This secret is limited only to a few deserving devotees only and should not be spread as the universal point because most of the human beings are diseased by egoism and jealousy if this one point is hidden, most of the people will hear and digest the divine knowledge. Therefore, the Lord does not reveal this secret to every devotee and spoil the devotee just because of this point only.
The Lord is not interested in name and fame. He is only interested to uplift every human being some how or other. Only demons and devils claim themselves as the Lord and wish to get name and fame and they are not interested to uplift anybody. The Lord in human form is ready even to become the servant of all the humanity if that can uplift the humanity.
