I and my father are one - Jesus

In the gospel of John chapter 10 verse no 30 Jesus says "I and my father are one". I consider this as one of the most revolutionary statement of the bible. Once realized, this statement has power to bring the revolution of super consciousness. If not realized, it just remains like another sentences. However, this statement is wrongly understood even by catholics. Yesterday, I was chatting with a catholic saintly person from Texas about this statement. We differ in our understanding of this statement. This is not a simple statement. It looks simple but, actually it's not. The whole of the crux is hidden in this statement. However Jesus said that in slightly diplomatic manner. And mind you, this statement is complete. Means you don't need to read few more verses before and after this verse. It's a complete statement - I and my father are one. One thing is clear - he is definitely not talking about Joseph. He is talking about God. That he and his father who is God himself are one, means Jesus is God. Even catholics say this. But catholics think that this statement is only applicable to Jesus. That is, it's not entirely true for you. It's fully true only for Jesus. I differ with them on this. According to me it's true for whole of the humanity. Not only for Jesus. If it is not true for us that means God doesn't love us. What they say is - we can never become God but we can become god-like. There is a difference between God and God-like. Huge difference. According to Hinduism we can become exactly equal to God. Brihadaaranyak Upanishad says - "Aham Brahmasmi" perhaps the most straight forward declaration ever made so far. It's not a mantra, it's a declaration. Means you don't have to chant "Aham Brahmasmi". It's a one time declaration, that's it. The sage who realized it wrote it. He didn't realize Brahman by chanting Aham Brahmasmi. No way. He somehow realized the Brahman, but how? - that's different topic. And then he wrote "Aham Brahamsmi". It's a post effect of realization. So, it's a declaration. It's not a mantra. Gayatri mantra is a mantra.

So, basically I noticed catholics and Hinduism differ in philosophy greatly.
