This world is a bridge

Sayings of Jesus outside of the Bible, genuine ones, are exceptionally rare. However, one of interest is written in Persian, in India on a monument called Buland Darwaza. In fine calligraphy, it says
 "Isa (Jesus), son of Mary said: 'The world is a Bridge, pass over it, but build no houses upon it. He who hopes for a day, may hope for eternity; but the World endures but an hour. Spend it in prayer for the rest is unseen.'"
This saying is unknown in Biblical writings, though it is interesting to ponder that if earth is a bridge, then where are we passing from?
