Fulfilment in Paradise

and he sips such drinks as are only beautiful figments of his imagination today. Paradise, hidden from our eyes due to the exigencies of man’s trial, has been created for man alone. However, entry to this world of Paradise has been restricted. Entry will be given only to those pure souls who have brought with them the necessary qualification. Paradise has been brought into existence in the world after death. The stage before death is one of preparation, and the stage after death is to receive the reward commensurate with this preparation. The present world is just an introduction to Paradise. It is not Paradise in itself. The present world is a passageway and not a destination. It is the place for preparation and not for reaping the harvest. The present world is full of limitations. It does not have the means to fulfil the unlimited desires of man. It has all the necessary components for man to prepare himself for Paradise, but it is not a place to achieve fulfilment of his desires.
