Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.
In an evolutionary context, development has no end. That means we can always develop more, further, higher and deeper. In Traditional Enlightenment, it’s possible to become ‘fully enlightened’. In Buddhism, they call it ‘cessation’ or ‘the end of becoming’. Evolutionary Enlightenment is about infinite becoming for eternity.
Birth does not lead to greatness; but cultivation of numerous virtues by a man leads him to greatness.
