“Master, explain to us: What does it mean to be poor in spirit?” “It means to be poor in ego. While the specific concept of the ‘ego’ did not exist in Aramaic, the teaching remains: one must empty themselves of the false self.”

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” “Suffering brings you closer to your true nature. The dissolution of the ego is often a painful process; mourning is the stripping away of illusions, revealing the essence of who you truly are.”

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” “When pride dissolves, what remains is a state of love and profound humility. This is not false modesty or self-deprecation, but a genuine oneness with nature and existence.”

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” “Seeking the good within yourself and allowing it to flourish dissolves dysfunctional patterns. As you nurture what is good, that which is harmful will naturally disappear.”

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” “Extending love and compassion to your neighbor cultivates those same virtues within your own heart. Mercy is a cycle; what you give, you become.”

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” “Purify your heart of negativity by allowing compassionate love to fill every chamber. Embrace all your feelings with acceptance and humility. God is love, and love is the force that heals and expands the heart.”

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” “Where there is love, conflict cannot take root. True peace is found not in fighting the enemy, but in flowing with them; in doing so, you transcend the conflict entirely.”
