The Gospel of Thomas: Logion 3


Yeshua says,

If your spiritual guides say to you,
“Look, the Divine Realm is in the sky,”
well then the birds will get there ahead of you.

If they say, “It is in the sea,” then the fish
will precede you.

No, Divine Reality exists inside and all around you.
Only when you have come to know your true Self
will you be fully known—
realizing at last that you are a child of the Living One.
If however you never come to know who you truly are,
you are a poverty-stricken being,
and it is your “self”which lies impoverished.
