a beauty that is not of this world
That belongs to the beyond
That starts showering on you.
And not only you feel it
Even others start feeling it.
It surrounds you.
It is like an aroma, an aura, a fragrance.
It is true beauty.
And when grace has started descending in your life
All your energy becomes compassion, mercy.
It transform your energy.
It makes your life full of love.
There is nothing else to do.
All desires disappear and you are so full of energy
That you start sharing your life, your love,
Whatsoever you have.
That sharing is compassion.
These are the three dimensions.

The religious consciousness.
Your name contains the whole art of religion.

And became a representative of Jesus' humanity.
All the twelve disciples represent something.
They are twelve aspects of Jesus.
Nobody represents Jesus in his wholeness

In a single aspect.
Matthias represents his humanity
And that is of great significance
Because in the East
Buddha is thought to be absolutely super-human.
All the stories that we have written about Buddha
Have taken away everything human from him.
He is just an abstraction
He is almost intangible.
He looks more like a myth than like a reality.
And so is the case with Krishna and Mahavira:
Everything human has been taken away.
It is not that they were not human,
They were human, very human,
But
