Sayings of Jesus #3 Gospel of Thomas.

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

 

3) Jesus said, "If those who lead you say, 'See, the Kingdom is

in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they

say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you.

Rather, the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you.

When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and

you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living

Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty

and it is you who are that poverty."

 

Purport:O'Clery.

It is not that `God' is everywhere it is that `God' is everything.

This is about raising one's consciousness above the mundane level.

For if one compares oneself to the birds and say the Kingdom is in

the sky, then they will precede you for it is their element. The

same goes for fish in the sea or anything else. One has to know

oneself and realise the Kingdom is within, by doing that one will

have a spiritual wealth. However if one doesn't know oneself, one is

one with all the non spiritual. However knowing in the spiritual

sense means gaining Liberation. Therefore seeing the Kingdom within

and without and everything just a projection of `God'.
