What is it in fact that is said here? Who is a rich man? A rich man is a man who, favoured by Providence, has come into possession of greater or lesser amounts of material valuables that are above the natural, running costs of his day. People who possess a large fortune all without exception come under the category of "rich men". So, what is the "kingdom of God" into which the rich man cannot enter? The kingdom of God is the maintenance of one's natural wellbeing during the passage through the death process, the spiritual spheres between the physical incarnations. All of us will die. But this death is not a death but an experience of our conscience. It is the attainment of a natural sense of wellbeing through the natural possession of our bodily and mental benefits, our humane talents and dispositions, our entire normal creative ability and way of being. Apart from these things we own absolutely nothing. But through the natural use of the talents that we have been born with we take possession of the right to our daily bread, which means the natural satisfaction of our daily necessities. But to own hundreds or thousands of times as many materials that are needed to cover this satisfaction can never ever be just. It can come about only through faulty social management, faulty view of life. No cosmic conscious being whatsoever can imagine owning something. In fact, they even feel aversion at the thought. The greatest in the kingdom of heaven will therefore always be the human being who is, from the material point of view, the poorest. Did not Christ express his own condition when he says: "The foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head". And was he not initiated into this state from his very earliest years through the connection of his birth with the manger. No, there are no cosmic beings who can take wealth with ceremony. It is only for the little, timid human being, for whom life in the Godhead is still in its infancy, and has not become a living reality. It thinks that it can save its soul with money. It does not understand that even though it is a millionaire, this is in reality just a spider's web. No material objects of value, apart from what meets the natural daily needs, can provide protection as long as it is sensed as one's own absolute possession and due to which it can be used exclusively to satisfy one's own illegal desire to, for example, buy jewellery and other temptations and wishes. Can one not see here that human beings sometimes cling to matter, to the dead and lifeless things and they believe that they are more protected behind a well-filled bank account than behind the insight into the concept of God.
