What are some of your favorite religious texts? Why?

I personally am fond of the Dhammapada from Theravada Buddhism. What attracts me to it is that it explains the deepest buddhist messages in the simplest ways possible. And the more you know about buddhism the deeper the message is.

I also see this in Proverbs from the Old Testament, which I am also quite fond of. Put it simply: I love simple religious texts which have deep meanings buried within.

Also check your local library, you can probably find it in book form. My Uni's library has like 3 different translations.

For sublimity?
Libri 65 and 7 by Crowley.
Tantraloka by Abhinavagupta
Thunder: Perfect Mind

In terms of philosophical content and overall coherency?
I like Dhammapada too, let's see, Crowley's Liber 333, Hekhalot Rabbati, Kaulajnananirnaya, The Pyramid Texts, Kalachakra Tantra, the Abramelin ritual, Molinos' Spiritual Guide.

the quote is wrong, the rock will definitely be affected by storm causing wear and tear, as the wise man will be eventually withered down by praise or blame.

Yes! The Bhagavada Gita is remarkable, I always feel like im on a great adventure when I read it. I should look into the upanishads.
