He who would follow me
must give up all the cravings of the
self and lose his life in saving life.
I come to save the lost and the weary .. and man is saved when he is rescued from himself. Yet, women and men are slow to comprehend this doctrine of the
Christ.
Whoever will may come; but he who comes must will to prune himself of every evil thought; Must overcome desire to gratify the lower self; must give his life to save the lost.
The nearer to the kingdom gate you come, more spacious is the
room; the multitudes have gone.
If men could come unto the, kingdom with their carnal thoughts, their passions and desires, there scarcely would be room for all.
But when they cannot take these through the narrow gate they turn away; the few are ready to go in and see the king.
Michael of Nebadon
The Aquarian Gospel
