Same theme, different voices
Time is more precious than money, and more valuable than anything in the world. It's the greatest treasure, the essence of life. Use time wisely for spiritual growth, and don't waste a single moment.
We can't find lasting comfort in temporary things, just as a child can't be comforted by sweets alone, but only by a parent's love. For lasting happiness, we must recognize and understand our eternal parent, God.
God is the enduring one, and everything else is transient.
And as Christ says in the Gospel, they will be amazed at that time, saying, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesize in your name, cast out demons in your name, and perform many miracles in your name?'
There is one God, whose name is true, the creator, beyond fear, beyond vengeance, timeless, unborn, self-existent, and benevolent by the Guru's grace.
