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 079 of Thomas Gospel.
These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.
Gospel of Thomas saying 79 - Those who have kept the father's utterance are blessed.
A woman from the crowd said to him, "Blessed are the womb which bore you and the breasts which nourished you.” He said to her, "Blessed are those who have heard the word of the father and have truly kept it. For there will be days when you will say, 'Blessed are the womb which has not conceived and the breasts which have not given milk."
A woman from the crowd said to him, "Blessed are the womb which bore you and the breasts which nourished you.”
The woman was moved by what she heard in the words of Jesus, and blessed his mother for giving birth to him.
He said to her, "Blessed are those who have heard the word of the father and have truly kept it.
We were told that being born into this world was our punishment / suffering for desiring and taking the fruits of worldly knowledge for our own experience.
For there will be days when you will say, 'Blessed are the womb which has not conceived and the breasts which have not given milk."
The god realised surrender all desire for this world. The God realised do not desire children. Realising the truth of the non-dual singularity of existence, the wise feel blessed to move closer to that unity rather than be the cause of further duality ( “'Blessed are the womb which has not conceived” )
