BIBLE VERSES

MAN, RICH

A symbol of the mind which identifies itself with a multitude of objects of desire an attitude of clinging to externalities which fosters the pairs of opposites in the soul

It is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God Matthew xix 24

This is an analogy showing how impossible it is for a mind distracted by the conflicting desires and emotions of the lower planes to enter into the nature of that which is bliss

Blessed in spirit are the poor for theirs is the kingdom of heaven Matthew v 3

The Divine nature operates in those who have rid themselves of the desires of the lower life for their consciousness rises to the higher planes
