IMMORTALITY
THERE are those who gain eternity in a lifetime, others who gain it in one brief hour.
TALMUD.
RABBI JACOB[86] said: This world is like a vestibule before the world to come. Prepare thyself in the vestibule, so that thou mayest enter into the palace.
Better is one hour of repentance and good deeds in this world than the whole life in the world to come; and better is one hour of blissfulness of spirit in the world to come than the whole life of this world.
