from Jean-Yves Leloup's Gospel of Thomas: "The gospel of Thomas is addressed to people who are aware of certain religious practices but are in danger of complacency with regard to them, thinking that merely observing the practice is enough." "What good is it to fast, give alms, and pray, if the heart is not fully engaged in these acts, if the mind harbors hate or bitterness?."
