Sayings of Jesus #22---Gospel of Thomas

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

22) Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to His disciples,

"These infants being suckled are like those who enter the

Kingdom."

They said to Him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the

Kingdom?"

Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you

make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside,

and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the

female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the

female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye,

and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and

a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter [the

Kingdom]."

 

Purport:O'Clery.

Being like children is innocence and surrender to the Divine.

Becoming a realized person and going through actions like a child

automatically suckles and cannot remember doing so. In India this is

a way of describing how a Jivanmukta operates. As he has no ego the

mind being used is the Universal-Sakti. He has no reason to commit

to memory for him there is no time, so his actions are the

involuntary actions of playing out karma. Kind of like turning off

the engine on a spinning wheel, the wheel spins until the energy is

exhausted. For the ego is gone and actions are automatic. Also the

soul is sexless so by becoming a realized person one unites the

energies. This also covers the placing an eye in place of an eye

etc. For this is replacing everything with a spiritual

bent...ONS...Tony.
