What Did Jesus Mean by Devotees Eating His Flesh and Drinking His Blood?

O Learned and Devoted Servants of God,

[Shri Anil Antony asked: Given below is an excerpt from the Bible (John 6) for reference. 53So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

56Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him. 57Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”]

Swami relied:- The words like flesh, blood and bread mean the personality of the human incarnation only. Eating and drinking means loving the God in human form to the extent of climax. All these words are symbolic conveying the concept of true love with all proof on God.
