The author shares his reflections about spiritual life based on the Bible verses in Matthew 5:21-37, Deuteronomy 30:15-20 and Matthew 17:1-9. Topics discussed include the warning of Jesus Christ to his disciples about not to swear by anything in heaven or on earth in the Gospel of Matthew, the manipulation of God through idolatry, and people's desperation for the presence of God citing the Bible story of Peter who was astonished with the transfiguration of Jesus Christ.
