Mysticism & Gospel of Thomas – No. 32 – The Inner Support

Verse - The Inner Support

Jesus said, “A city built on a mountain and fortified cannot be taken, but neither can it be hidden.”

Comment

Just as a city built on a high mountain and strongly fortified cannot fall, so a person who knows about his inner support, who lives from the spirit, knows that he is guided by the light and protected from above, cannot fall into the world. Because he possesses greater things than the world can give him, and because he does not strive for the lesser, the transitory, but for the highest, the eternal. The last thought about the incalculability of the person filled and guided by the inner light and living from the spirit is continued in the next saying.
