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 107 of Thomas Gospel.

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

Gospel of Thomas Saying 107 - A parable of a lost sheep.
Jesus said, "The kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep. One of them, the largest, went astray. He left the ninety-nine sheep and looked for that one until he found it. When he had gone to such trouble, he said to the sheep, 'I care for you more than the ninety-nine."

Jesus said, "The kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep.”
This existence of many names and forms is a delusion. This delusion is to enable the (mis)perception of 'Me and my life', which was the original desired experience. The Nondual reality is that all that exists is one, a singularity. The flock of sheep is not a flock until it is complete. There cannot be the situation where 'only one is missing but the vast majority is here'. Nonduality is the singularity that   is  All. We are all one. The Kingdom cannot be complete and at rest until all the desires that caused us to get lost in the world have been surrendered, and all desires have become the one desire to return home.

“One of them, the largest, went astray. He left the ninety-nine sheep and looked for that one until he found it.”
This world was brought into being due to the original desire to experience worldly knowledge. But eventually we will all, every conscious experience, return to unity with the shepherd or the father, or God or the Absolute.
The flock was complete, as One. The one that went astray left the 99 incomplete. There could be no rest in the kingdom of the Shepheard until all had returned. No 'one' can experience true happiness until 'everyone' is happy.

“When he had gone to such trouble, he said to the sheep, 'I care for you more than the ninety-nine."
What is missing becomes more important than everything else if 'everthing else' becomes incomplete because of it.
This one who is returning home has now found his way to the love, which is the unity of the Shepherd, the father, God or the Absolute, the singularity of existence.
But, in truth, there can be nothing lost, left behind, or unknown in the Absolute unity of existence.
