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 035 of Thomas Gospel.

 

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

 

Gospel of Thomas Saying 35 - No one robs the strong without subduing them.
Jesus said, "It is not possible for anyone to enter the house of a strong man and take it by force unless he binds his hands; then he will (be able to) ransack his house."

There is only one house that interests Jesus, that is what houses our spiritual awareness.
For clarity, God the Divine, the Absolute, the singularity of existence, is not housed, it is existence itself in totality.
Concerning the salvation of mankind, Jesus is concerned with only two kinds of strength. The strength of the individual ego to deny new teaching if it is challenging. or the strength of one’s heart to remain open to knowledge and awareness of the nondual divine as taught by Jesus. One’s ego ”strong man“   thrives and relies on the ignorance arising from the mind of duality.
Truth is stronger than falsehood. The knowledge of the conscious singularity of this existence is overwhelmingly stronger than the ignorance of duality.
The mind that is presented with the truth of nonduality by the intuitive heart, cannot from then on be governed by the ego “binds his hands”
All that the ego has set up in the mind, fear, the ability to close the heart, and the seeing of separation will crumble "ransack his house."
