It seems as though Jesus were saying: Watch carefully what I am doing and realize that I am placing my whole reliance on the Father within me. And when I have gone away, when I have left this world, you are to realize that this Father also dwells in you. If you accept His Power, It will work for you, and your yoke will be easy and your burden will be light.

This is why he said that his yoke was easy and his burden was light. He had cast all burdens on to
