Selection for Paradise

Selection for Paradise did we, for the sake of our interests, act unjustly? Did we appear good in front of others just in order to create an impression, or were we good in our personal life too? Did we make Truth or something else our supreme concern? If we obtained power, did we fall prey to corruption, or did we remain upright? Did we maintain equanimity in both poverty and richness? How did we behave when we were put on the sidelines, and how did we behave when we were given importance? Did we keep our emotions under the control of ethical principles, or did we chase after our desires? A record of our performance with regard to these and other such matters is continuously being made by the invisible angels that are always with us, throughout our life. On the basis of this record the decision about our eternal future after death will be made. The present world, here on Earth, has been made for a limited period. After this period is over, all the people who have taken birth here will be brought before God. In accordance with the record prepared by the recording angels, God will announce the decision about their eternal future. If a person’s record shows that he lived in this world with a paradisiacal personality and that he used his freedom within the limits set by God, it would prove that he is qualified to live in Paradise. Accordingly, he will be selected and settled in that realm. And as for those who couldn’t give evidence of a paradisiacal personality, they will be rejected and put into the eternal dustbin of the universe, so that they will lead a life of despair and remorse forever, never to be able to escape from it.
