AE 236b [8]
In Luke:
Whosoever he be of you that renounces not all his possessions, he cannot be My disciple." (Luke 14:33)
"Possession" here mean all things that are from self-intelligence, for no one can be wise from himself, but only from the Lord;
"to renounce all possessions" is to attribute nothing of intelligence and wisdom to oneself, and he who does not do this cannot be instructed by the Lord, that is, cannot be His disciple.
[9] ..."the rich" mean those who possess the knowledges of truth and good, thus who have the Word,
and "the poor" mean those who do not possess knowledges, but yet long for them....
