‘Ask and it will be given to you’ - commentary

10/22/2013

We are told in the Gospels, ‘Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.’ But, for this to be granted, we still need to have created the right conditions. Unless we have worked beforehand, we will be given nothing, we will find nothing and the door will not be opened for us. The best way to ask, search and knock is to begin by working. And I might even add that if we give priority to spiritual work, the day will come when we will no longer need to ask, search or knock. Heaven is watching over us and knows what we need, and it will give it without our even asking for anything. We will no longer need to search, because by working to purify our thoughts, feelings and actions we will discover truth. Lastly, we will no longer need to knock – since we want to live the life of Christ, the doors will open before us and we will be free. Yes, these are the new Gospels.
