I'd put it a little differently: he seeks to help human beings realize they are already divine. > While I don't necessarily disagree, do you think this tendency > might be the result of an inability to see normal, everyday > humans -- devoid of gold and robes and the trappings of > royalty -- as divine? > > Jesus and Buddha were just ordinary guys.

The question is whether the rajas are able to recognize divinity in themselves without the assistance of the costumes and props. Once the recognition dawns, presumably the trappings no longer matter. I don't see anything wrong with trappings as a temporary aid, if they actually give that recognition a little nudge.
