SO GOOD QUOTES

A spiritual person’s foremost priority is his salvation; it occupies the whole of his concern and thoughts. His salvation is the most valuable part of his life. Every deed or goal that conflicts with his eternal life is absolutely and unquestionably rejected. Such a person considers his present life as preparation for eternal life.

His concern for his eternal salvation gives his present life a pure, spiritual direction and keeps him steadfast in God, his love for Him, and observing His commandments.
