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 0112 of Thomas Gospel.

 

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

 

Gospel of Thomas Saying 112 - Soul is independent of flesh.
Jesus said, "Woe to the flesh that depends on the soul; woe to the soul that depends on the flesh."

Jesus said, "Woe to the flesh that depends on the soul;”
The flesh is woeful because it has no true existence. The flesh suffers old age sickness and death. It's short being as the body is maintained only for as long as the soul requires and supports it.

“woe to the soul that depends on the flesh."
The soul that is witnessing our life experience, is limited in consciousness to that of duality and desire. Nevertheless, the soul has eternity, its state of woe will end.
