Readers� attention is invited to the comments of Vineesh, Al Khobar. The words of Bible or for that matter Gita or Quran are words of fire attached with multidimensional meanings. There is no ready made or static meaning for such verses. The reader will have an understanding according to his being and not according to his knowledge. Knowledge is always limited whereas being is unlimited.
Let us meditate over the words of Jesus: �Let the one having no sword sells his outer
Garments and buy one.� Here the sword stands for the spirituality and outer garments stand for human conditioning. Likewise the words �Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword� throw a deeper meaning i.e. spiritual knowledge should not be used to create violence in the world, let it bloom like a rosebud and give its fragrance to the world.
