I really have a place in my heart from Muhammad Ali.

He spoke a lot of wisdom, you know?

Yeah.

And he stood up in a time where it was very difficult and spoke his truth.

And his truth was very deeply spiritual.

He's a very deeply spiritual man.

People throw that around, but he really was.

And I think it matured in him over the years, of course, too, as hopefully it does in people.

But, you know, part of what I appreciate in this, and that really, to me, indicates his

sincerity and the depth of his, of his, um, of his, um, of his spirituality.

Is that he says, if you've got one ounce of pride, you can't enter the hereafter.

Now, a lot of times that, you know, people coming from the Abrahamicrahamic faiths yeah they equate the the goal is to

get to the hereafter right the the goal is to get to heaven the the goal is salvation now oftentimes

the east and i'm not i don't want to what does that mean salvation salvation means freedom from sin and like, like almost like what we call

Moksha, you know, attaining heaven. You know, the idea is that our sin is keeping us bound

and damning us to a future of misery. Salvation means freedom from that fate, right?

And release, you could say.

And so, you know, the common kind of simplistic, I'm not limiting the Abrahamic religions

to this, but a lot of the times the way that it's presented is it's boiled down to a very

simplistic formula that you live your life

doesn't really matter how you live it right um if if you have sufficient faith if you really believe

then you get salvation and if you don't it doesn't matter how well you've lived your life
