A Rich Man's Chance of Getting into Heaven

A man says two phrases seem to have limited his approach to life. The first is, 'it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God’, and the second phrase is ‘If I want to cross the lake, I have to take my foot off the pier’. Rupert elaborates that a ‘rich man’ in this context means rich in attachments. One must divest oneself of everything for oneness, or heaven. The second phrase is like the moth and flame metaphor in that the separate self cannot find happiness, it can only come to an end. This is not about renunciation but of recognition.
