If you realise that you have enough, you are truly rich. If you stay in the centre and embrace death with your whole heart, you will endure forever.

Religious texts, also known as scripture, scriptures, holy writ, or holy books, are the texts which various religious traditions consider to be sacred, or central to their religious tradition.
Without leaving your home, you can know the whole world. Without looking through the window, you can see the ways of heaven. The further you go, the less you know. Thus the wise man knows without traveling, Sees without looking, Works without doing.
The Soul is made of consciousness and mind; it is made of life and vision. It is made of the earth and the waters; it is made of air and space. It is made of light and darkness; it is made of desire and peace. It is made of anger and love; it is made of virtue and vice. It is made of all that is near; it is made of all that is afar. It is made of all.
But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters toss up mire and dirt. There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
In dreams the mind beholds its own immensity. What has been seen is seen again, and what has been heard is heard again. What has been felt in different places or faraway regions returns to the mind again. Seen and unseen, heard and unheard, felt and not felt, the mind sees all, since the mind is all.
But God demonstrated his love for us in this: while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
What did your original face look like, before your parents met?
I thank my God every time I remember you.
The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
A man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry.
This universe is a trinity and this is made of name, form, and action. The source of all names is the word, for it is by the word that all names are spoken. The word is behind all names, even as the Eternal is behind the word.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.

and there was light.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.
