Parallels - Enlightenment and Liberation

Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.
~ The Gospel of John ~

He who works for Me alone and has Me for his goal, is devoted to Me, is freed from attachment, and bears enmity towards no creature. He enters into Me.
~ The Bagavad Gita ~

He will go to the other shore and stand on dry land if he has realized liberation and hidden knowledge in this life.
~ Catukka Nipata Pali ~

Knowing that which does not change is enlightenment, not knowing it is blindness...to be one with Tao is divine. Though you may die, you will not perish.
~ Tao Te Ching ~
