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.
If the soul is to know God, it must know Him outside time and place, since God is neither in this or that, but One and above them.
