Sayings of Jesus #20--Gospel of Thomas.

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

20) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what the Kingdom of

Heaven is like."

He said to them, "It is like a mustard seed, the smallest of

all seeds. But when it falls on tilled soil, it produces a great

plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky."

 

Purport:O'Clery.

The Kingdom is within and anybody living in this spiritual state

will be expansive and loving to all. The Christ Energy or `I am that

I am', flows out of a person in this realized state. However the

message has to fall on those that are ready, and have a certain

mental maturity and a purified mind. There is also the idea that

large and minuscule have no relevance with the spiritual, for

whatever is large can be small and whatever is small can be

large.....

....ONS...Tony.

I just had another thought. I remembered 'Parliament of the birds',--

by Din Attar the Sufi. The birds could represent people/souls taking

refuge in the Kingdom..........ONS..Tony.
