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 081 of Thomas Gospel.

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

Gospel of Thomas saying 81 - The rich should reign and renounce.
Jesus said, "Let him who has grown rich be king, and let him who possesses power renounce it."

Jesus said, "Let him who has grown rich be king”,
The desire for worldly riches is a symptom of being under the delusion of duality.
Those who see the forms of beings and objects in the world, and believe them to have separate existences, are being misled by their senses.
Those who accept all the different names of the apparent different objects have, so far, failed to investigate their assumptions using divine reasoning.
Only those who believe this material world to be real, and therefore to have lasting value would seek to own and store material ‘riches’.
Only those suffering from the delusion of duality seek fame or power amongst ‘others’.
But, the day will come when the deluded see the light. Until then “Let him who has grown rich be king”.

“and let him who possesses power renounce it."
Jesus has told us that those who maintain desires for this material world cannot find the path back to God, The Absolute singularity of existence.
Those who have true power have realised the true existence of the divine.True power comes through the realisation of divine knowledge.
Those truly powerful realised ones “renounce” all possession or desire for this material world.
