They both accurately express the two versions of his teaching, what sounds the best for PR and what he taught to people he trusted more with his candid opinion. But even as he tries to give positive marketing lip service to Christianity, he was expressing his view that Christianity's true goals should mirror the Hindu religion's emphasis on Self-realization. It does not, and him claiming it doesn't make it so.
