Original Initiatory practice is reflected here and in Saying 21. When bodily nakedness ceases to be a shame or to be regarded as an erotic stimulant or an issue for a cause – this is when the first condition for true spirituality is gained. For the esoteric message understand the human body, which is necessary for spirits who are yet imperfect, as the shameful reminder that we are yet sinful beings that are not united to God’s will. Both explanations are relevant and the one serves as a symbol to the other’s spiritual meaning.
