The Bible says, “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.” What is the nondual perspective on this verse?
In a nondual framework, the concept of having points to the recognition of the singular nature of awareness. When a localized perspective recognizes its true nature, that realization naturally expands, dissolving the perceived boundary between self and world. Awareness resting in its own fullness generates a compounding momentum. The abundance mentioned in the verse describes this deepening stabilization, where the recognized reality of knowing permeates the localized experience more fully.
Conversely, the state of not having points toward exclusive identification with the finite form and the illusion of fundamental boundaries. This identification with separation generates a continuous drive to extract security and identity from transient objects and temporary conditions. Because finite forms are inherently unstable and subject to dissolution, the limited perspective inevitably loses whatever temporary security has been acquired.
Grasping at transient forms guarantees their eventual loss, while attention turned back upon the reality of knowing generates its own expansive grace. ●
