When death Will Expose Everything as False

in this world, people think highly of themselves and strut about puffed up with pride, whereas actually, the only thing they can take pride in is submitting to God’s commandments. People think they are being very successful by trying to rationalize or explain their misdeeds, while their success lies in openly acknowledging their faults. They have been given the power of speech so that they use it to praise God, but they employ it instead to shower praises on fellow human beings. Emotions such as fear and love have been placed in them, so they should devote these to God, but they have created things as the objects of their fear and love. They think that accumulating material wealth is the most important thing, whereas the highest thing for them is spending their wealth on God’s path till they have nothing left. They should have consideration for the weak, but instead, they ignore them and flatter the strong. They should devote themselves to searching for and discovering the meaningfulness of life, but instead, they drown themselves in furious agitation. The secret of their actual progress lies in engaging in constant introspection, but instead, they are busy inspecting and criticizing others. They should consider worldly wealth and worldly fame and glory as unreal and should have no attachment to them, but they begin thinking these are the most important things of all. People seek the support of something or some being besides God, imagining it to be a strong refuge. imagine their condition when, after they die, they will learn that besides God, no one can be a refuge for anyone!
