Let me put it this way...
God is within. Prophet Jesus (as you call him (no problem)), is reputed to have said, "The kingdom of heaven is within". Was he mistaken? Let us confine ourselves to the time before his death. Was he mistaken? What does it mean to be baptized with light?
Our concepts and ideas about the entire subject, gathered from here and there during our life, may not reflect the reality.
Are you expert in any subject? Do you know something well? And have you seen your subject of expertise portrayed on television or in a movie? Do you know what I mean? The theatric presentation doesn't come close to portraying the subject accurately. On a medical program, they have to hire actual doctors to advise the scriptwriter so some accuracy can be shown!
Not everything can or should be written into a book. If there is no Knowledge given by the Living Master or Teacher of the time,
what is the purpose for them living? But time and again they have come. Their reality is recorded in certain writings, as you know.
When they have come, only a few could recognize. Many more rejected, criticized, said it was not possible or were following a Master or teaching of some time past.
For example... one can read reviews of a restaurant's offerings and even look at a menu, but a written review or even a menu with pictures cannot be tasted... only imagined. And, while the imagination is very powerful, it will never fill one's hunger.
Let us say... before you met your wife, could you have faith in her? However, once married, you can have complete trust.
Is this not so?
In the Koran, there is a verse... (I can't give the number or title, but).... A similitude of his likeness is as a light hidden within a niche.... neither of the east nor the west. (indicating somewhere free from an earthly n.s.e.w. direction.) This "niche" is within.
It was placed there though there was no one to place it! Rather amazing, actually....
The reality of this light is within. It really is a simple thing, but difficult for some to approach. It can depend on one's previous studies. If you have read that it is impossible, you will act from that point of belief. If you have read or heard otherwise...
your chances are much better. Perhaps again, there is room for faith here... Can you have faith in my words? Can you have a little faith in my experience?
The Master is like a fruit tree. Eventually, that tree will grow old. It's limbs will wither. But if shoots were taken from that viable tree and grafted onto a young tree... the essence of the original tree will continue. This original essence is still alive and viable today; it has been passed on very, very successfully! Taste and you will know. Simple.
it's bible, right, from where you quoted? It is so difficult to understand! Again sorry.
