"Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal:"
"But lay up for yourselves
treasures in
heaven,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not
break through nor steal:"
"For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also." (Matthew 6:19-21)
|
<1>Think
about
God,
His universe, and His truths all the time, and love Him with all
your might. Otherwise your attention will be diverted to the
material world, mundane things, and you will fall into your lower
nature (hell).
<2>So
avoid anything that keeps your attention from Him. <3>Do good but do not
be attached to the results of your actions and this external world.
Then you might create a great treasure in
heaven of the good
deeds you have done. Your thoughts will then be there rather than on
the material world, which results in attachments, attraction,
desires, and greed (the four
winds),
and the end by-product is bondage and spiritual death, because
"where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

"The
light of the body
is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall
be full of
light."
"But if thine eye be
evil,
thy whole body shall be full of
darkness. If
therefore the
light that is in
thee be
darkness, how great is that
darkness!" (Matthew 6:22-23)
|
<4>The
"eye" refers to the spiritual eye which was closed after the flood
of Noah (for more detail, read
The Base,
The Essence, or
The Holiest Book).
If this eye becomes opened and you become completely concentrated
and one-pointed on spiritual progress, then the door of knowledge (light)
of the spiritual truth will be opened to you, and you will be filled
with this
light.
<5>But if your
concentration is directed to
Maya, "thine eye be
evil,"
then the door of truth will be closed to you, "thy whole body shall
be full of
darkness," you will be drowned in
Maya and your lower
nature, and that is where
hell is, "how great
is that
darkness!"
|
"No man can serve two
masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or
else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve
God
and mammon." (Matthew 6:24)
|
<6>When
the external world and its illusive promises become a person's
master, then he has no choice but to hate the spiritual truth which
discourages that attachment, or he will leave spirituality
completely and go to
Maya.
<7>Also here the
word "master" is used. Master means one who makes the person its
slave. So only when the external world and attachment to it is so
great that a person becomes its slave, is it bad. However, if
it is used without attachment, we continue to progress toward higher
consciousness in the middle of
Maya, remembering
the Lord, serving Him, seeing Him everywhere, and being His slave.
<8>Only by being
His slave can we avoid being the slave of
Maya.

"Therefore I say unto
you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye
shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the
life more than meat, and the body than raiment?" (Matthew 6:25)
|
<9>So
be content with what you have, and direct your
energy
toward doing His Will, "Your will be done on earth as it is in
heaven." The only
things you need are the minimum necessities, "give us our daily
bread." The rest of life should be used for
purification, "lead
us not into temptation," by His
Grace,
"but deliver us from
evil."
<10>Then the Kingdom Of
Heaven within and without will be established, the three Kingdoms Of
Heaven
will be His, and His "will be done on earth as it is in
heaven."
<11>Also
why worry? We are not our bodies. The body is meat (flesh) and it is
just like a raiment (garment) that we leave behind after death. The
only things that will be with us are our Souls and spirits. We
have to be concerned for what is permanent, not what we have to
leave behind. So we should progress to make our
Souls
become
Pure Consciousness.
The body should only be used for this end.

"Behold the fowls of the
air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly
Father
feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" (Matthew 6:26)
|
<12>If
God
will provide sustenance for the birds, which are much lower in the
evolutionary Hierarchy, would not He provide it for the human who is
much higher in His eyes?
|
"Which of you by taking
thought can add one cubit unto his stature?"
"And why take ye thought for
raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil
not, neither do they spin:"
"And yet I say unto you, That
even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
(Matthew 6:27-29)
|
<13>Be
content with what
God
has provided and work on the beauty within to be(come) the beautiful
being you were born to manifest (qualities of
God).
As lilies in the field are content with what has been given to them
and they manifest their beauty in full, "That even Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
|
"Wherefore, if
God
so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is
cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of
little faith?" (Matthew 6:30)
|
<14>If
by
surrendering and being content even
lilies can receive such beauty, which have such a short life span
and lower consciousness, then would not
God manifest higher
beauty, which is your Soul, through you? But to come to such a point
of
surrendering and being content in life
needs much faith.
|
"Therefore take no
thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or,
Wherewithal shall we be clothed?" (Matthew 6:31)
|
<15>One
thing should be remembered -- that these things
Esa
was teaching to his disciples, or to those who give up everything to
spread the word of
God and His
Messages (the
Holy Men). These
people should totally detach themselves from these things and be
free to direct and concentrate completely on
God's work.
|
"(For after all these
things do the
Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly
Father
knoweth that ye have need of all these things." (Matthew 6:32)
|
<16>Let
the worldly people be worried. For those who dedicate themselves to
God,
the minimum will be provided and such a people should be content,
surrendered, and have faith that they will receive it, because "your
heavenly
Father
knoweth that ye have need of all these things."
|
"But seek ye first the
kingdom of
God,
and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto
you." (Matthew 6:33)
|
<17>Those
who direct all their attention and concentration toward their
spiritual progress and others' (first seek the Kingdom of
God),
"all these things shall be added unto" them. The worker is then
worthy of his wage.
|
"Take therefore no
thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the
things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the
evil
thereof." (Matthew 6:34)
|
<18>So
do not be worried about tomorrow. There will be enough
problems each day that a
Holy man would have
to solve without having time for other things, "Sufficient unto the
day is the
evil thereof."
Be here now.
