If I, as an Oriental, have to worship Jesus of Nazareth, there is only one way left to me, that is, to worship him as God and nothing else.
Have we no right to worship him in that way, do you mean to say?
If we bring him down to our own level and simply pay him a little respect as a great man, why should we worship at all?
Our scriptures say, "These great children of Light, who manifest the Light themselves, who are Light themselves, they, being worshipped, become, as it were, one with us and
we become one with them."

‘Christ, The Messenger’ at Los Angles, California (1900)
