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 060 of Thomas Gospel.

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

Gospel of Thomas Saying 60 - A parable of a Samaritan and a lamb.
He saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb and going to Judea. He said to his disciples, "that person ... around the lamb.” They said to him, "So that he may kill it and eat it.” He said to them, "He will not eat it while it is alive, but only after he has killed it and it has become a corps.”
They said to him, "He cannot do so otherwise.”
He said to them, "You too, look for a place for yourself within repose, lest you become a corpse and be eaten."

“He saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb and going to Judea. He said to his disciples, "that person ... around the lamb.” ”
Jesus has asked his disciples why the Samaritan is holding the lamb so securely.

“They said to him, "So that he may kill it and eat it.”
Plainly, the lamb was soon to become a carcase and be eaten.

“He said to them, "He will not eat it while it is alive, but only after he has killed it and it has become a corps.”
Jesus explains his point. While the lamb is alive it has the worldly integrity of a lamb, “He will not eat it while it is alive “ bound or not. But, after its death it becomes food.

They said to him, "He cannot do so otherwise.”
What Jesus has said so far seems perfectly logical to the disciples. The lamb has to be killed before it can be eaten as food.

“He said to them, "You too, look for a place for yourself within repose, lest you become a corpse and be eaten.”
Our true being, in terms of our immortality is not our body. The material form of our body is subject to decay. All material is eaten by time and reduced to earth.
Jesus is urging us to realise our true being in consciousness, in this life, because it is this consciousness alone that has true existence and therefore is immortal.
It is what we have realised in this life that feeds our desires. It is our hearts desires, in consciousness, which will guide us at the death of our form “within repose” . If our desire remains with our body and the material world, our desire will be enabled, we will experience material death again, we will become material food within the material realm again.
The realised sage desires and seeks the way back home to unity with God.
