Om May no harm be done Here, May this desire be motivated by Love. May what is not beneficent wither to obscurity.

The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is extra to the canonical gospels in the New Testament of the bible. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945 among a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library. Scholars speculate that the works were buried and hidden after the declaration of a strict canon of Christian scripture, where any works that were not selected for inclusion in the new testament were ordered to be destroyed. Scholars have proposed dates of composition as early as 60 AD and as late as 250 AD as a collection of sayings of Jesus.

Our Commentary on Verse 017 of Thomas Gospel.

These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.

Gospel of Thomas Saying 17 - Jesus will bestow what has not been perceived.
Jesus said, "I shall give you what no eye has seen and what no ear has heard and what no hand has touched and what has never occurred to the human mind."

All of Jesus’ teaching was to enable God realisation.

"I shall give you what no eye has seen”
The Absolute is the seeing principle. The material form of the eye is made for seeing. But the Absolute, through knowledge as consciousness Absolute, enables the principle of seeing itself, to be. Consequently, no eye could see that, that enables It’s seeing, as it were. An eyeball cannot see itself, The divine Absolute is the eye of the eye.

“what no ear has heard”
It is the same with the ear. Ears are designed to hear. But, ears hear because the very principle of hearing already exists. Hearing happens through the knowledge of hearing. Hearing itself, is enabled through Divine Consciousness. The act of worldly hearing won’t hear the divine knowledge that enables it.

“what no hand has touched”
The material form of a hand could not touch one’s own thoughts or knowledge, let alone the Divine Consciousness that existed before this material realm came into being.

“and what has never occurred to the human mind."
The human mind is fed the information received from the senses. As described above, the mind receives sight, sound and touch etc. from external senses. The mind accumulates understanding from the material world as being a duality of name and form.
The mind alone will not grasp the truth of existence as a singularity.

Jesus came to teach us the way to realise this truth. The mind alone functions as a tool to maintain our being. But, All of this existence is enabled through divine consciousness and was brought about by our desire for the experience of a worldly life.

This worldly consciousness, although limited for our life experience is nevertheless of the Absolute. Through the divine intuition of the heart and divine reason, if we learn to fall still and allow our hearts to open, the divine can be felt. Our access to divine consciousness and knowledge will become more natural through the guidance of a wise prophet.
Jesus is telling us that through him and his teaching, he will give us what, without grace, could not be had in this material realm.
Jesus is promising us God realisation.
