 It can be deduced that we are embracing the Buddhist viewpoint that resting leads to a state of complete unawareness of oneself. The presence of self-awareness obstructs the achievement of wholeness. Whenever I engage in conversations emphasizing the importance of faith in personal development, a complex and extensive endeavor arises to prove that even the methods themselves cannot facilitate this state of nonexistence. However, we perceive this cunning tactic and are astonished by the challenge of expressing something inherently contradictory. Describing the concept of nonexistence is bewildering, particularly when employing such strenuous efforts and rigid assertions. Thankfully, I do not need to exert myself to that extent; I simply draw inspiration from sacred texts.

Yet Jesus assumed the role of mentor for His devotees, straying from a rigid path. With discernment, He chose His disciples, skillfully masking the presence of a betrayer among them. One may wonder why Jesus did not unveil the truth openly. He bestowed blessings upon His disciples, only to withdraw from them during their most tumultuous moments. His aim was to pass judgment on the religious establishment, which appeared to undermine the bedrock laid by God's vow to rule from His sacred sanctuary. Instead of conforming to societal norms, Jesus rejected the prevailing culture and predominantly associated with sinners. Remarkably, He defended an adulterer, a striking deviation from what one anticipates from a teacher upholding virtuous principles. It becomes evident that Jesus dismantled the traditional approach to connecting with God that His disciples were accustomed to. Anyone who approaches the tale of Jesus' ministry with an open heart would deduce that His teaching methods were indeed thought-provoking and provocative.

In the absence of anger's sway, guided by His own enlightened view, He rendered judgment upon the religious realm and its guiding figures. Even within the sacred sanctuary, where He disrupted the barter of currency, He abstained from causing harm to individuals, choosing instead to challenge the cherished idols they embraced. It is vital to grasp that Jesus assumed the role of a surrogate for His faithful, employing His declarations to dismantle those who sought to inflict harm upon them. Jesus personified the essence of a faultless Savior, rescuing His flock without imposing alterations upon their behavior.
