Living in God's Glory

Every person is travelling from life toward death. For some, this journey is for the sake of this world. For others, it is for the sake of the hereafter. some people spend their lives drowned in the things of this visible world. others live in the things of the invisible or spiritual world. some people spend their entire lives rushing to fulfil their desires and satisfy their egos. others are overwhelmed by the fear and the love of God. The difference between these two types of people may not be apparent in this world, but this is not so far as what will happen after their deaths. he who lives in God and the consciousness of the hereafter is saving himself, while he who lives in worldly pleasures and the desires that his ego constantly hankers after is destroying himself. REMEMBERING DEATH If only man were to remember death, the things that make him cruel and unjust would become meaningless as he would realize that they are leading him to Hell. Man has endless words at his disposal in this world, but there will come a time when he will be at a loss for words. There will be no one to listen to what he has to say, no press to print what he writes, and no loudspeaker to announce his words. The fool’s Paradise he has constructed for himself will be razed to the ground. he will look for some respite from anguish and despair, but there will be none.
