Even though, I'm an atheist, I still believe that there are morally upright values that we could learn from any religious scripts and figures. These verses from scripts guide us how to live and prosper in the world by doing good deeds so that we may be rewarded in the afterlife. Even if you're irreligious, you can't deny that these verses are utmost inspirational and poetically beautiful. These verses are open to interpretation. This list will show some of religion's most motivating and touching verses that we could live by in our daily lives. You could also add one of your own as well.Written in the Hindu scripture epic of Bhagavad Gita. The beauty of verse is that it encourages us to follow our own destiny through our hard work and decision-making even if it leads you to a materially substandard life. I am by no means an expert in Theology but all of these items are my interpretations.
This verse comes from the Talmud and is popularized in the movie "Schlinder's List" when one of the Jews Oskar Schlinder saved told him that he had saved the entire world by saving the lives of his factory workers. 12-year old me got his eyes teary upon seeing that scene.
