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 092 of Thomas Gospel.

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

Gospel of Thomas Saying 092 - We do not seek what Jesus wishes to tell us.
Jesus said, "Seek and you will find. Yet, what you asked me about in former times and which I did not tell you then, now I do desire to tell, but you do not inquire after it."

Jesus said, "Seek and you will find.”
Jesus is promising that those who desire truth will find it if they seek it.

“Yet, what you asked me about in former times and which I did not tell you then,”
Sometimes, new students want ‘big picture’ answers. Most times an all-encompassing answer could not be properly understood or even given until the reasoning of all the facts that led to the answer are properly understood.
A good teacher gives students a good foundation of understanding to enable them to grasp higher understanding. Jesus is the ultimate caring and loving teacher.

“now I do desire to tell, but you do not inquire after it."
Jesus’ disciples have heard the truth in Jesus’ teaching and they have become contented with what they know, believing they now understand everything.

Jesus withheld higher truths from his disciples before because the truth can be challenging, ( “When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished” Thomas Gospel saying 2. )
Jesus is now informing them that the time has come for them to seek out and face the higher truths of the Divine. The ultimate truth of non-duality is difficult for people to grasp. It is not in itself intuitive. Though ironically it is through intuition and divine reasoning that proper understanding is reached.
But, this truth needs to be asked for. Because, the right questions come from a base of understanding. Those who have reached that base should be more mentally and emotionally prepared for the answers their questions bring. ref. Luke 11:9-13, Matt 7:7-11, Matt 21:18-22, John 15:16-17, John 14:12-14, John 16:20-28, Mark 11:20-25.
