Keeping one’s Mind on Tomorrow

English book, p. 149

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

KEEPING ONE’S MIND ON TOMORROW become content with what they have. The oppression and cruelty perpetrated in the world because of greed would stop. There is not much difference between finding and losing in this world, for no value is attached to finding something when one is only going to lose it. how much effort a man puts into acquiring wealth in this world: yet the inevitable result of his efforts is that he leaves everything behind. Every life eventually ends in death. When death comes, it tears a man away from the things he was most attached to on earth. People live for the present; they entirely forget about the future. They think they can build a happy life for themselves by bringing destruction upon others. They do not realize that they are bound to the grave. They seek to ruin others financially by bringing suits against them in human courts. however, they are heading for ruin; it is they who will be brought up in the divine Court to be judged. They ignore others and take delight in their glory, ignorant that soon their vainglory will vanish into thin air, and they will be exposed for the helpless creatures that they are.
