The perfect combination of comfiness and insight, and my second favorite Hindu text behind the Upanishads (if they count as a single entry).

My favourite spiritual text of all. To me it's the perfect mix of intellectually and aesthetically edifying, while also containing practical wisdom one can implement in one's daily life. Deserves its reputation IMO.

>Greek fanfiction of Judaism
The New Testament is a perfect evolution of Judaism, it undermines the many flaws that had overtaken Judaism during the Second Temple period while fulfilling its core aspects, and centres a lot of the Greek (and Jewish) philosophy that was floating around at the time.
