Purport:O'Clery. Wealth and worldly success doesn't bestow any enlightenment. The truth is not discerned by education and worldly wealth, it is only by going within............ONS..Tony. Not totally in harmony with the teachings of Jesus..."one should be living in the world, but not be of the world" Suggests not simply going "within" for enlightenment, but to partake of the world and its affairs without becoming obsessed or burdened of worldly things. Jesus always expected people to develop TWO things: a better heart and a better head. He did not ask that anyone leave their senses or forsake their fellows in search of remaining solitary in the wilderness, literally or figuratively.
