If man were to reflect seriously, he would discover the reality that death is in fact the day of his appearance before the Creator. Man, in reality, is an eternal creature, but his life span has been divided into two parts—the pre-death period and the post-death period. The pre-death period is for man to be tested and the post-death-period is for his being awarded reward or punishment, according to the record of his life on earth. Man today finds himself in this world as a living, conscious being. This living and conscious existence is a permanent one. Death is the day when this living and conscious being is taken away from this temporary world and is transferred to the next permanent world in the same living and conscious state. This moment of death is sure to come for every man and woman. It will unimaginably be the most serious of moments. In the life span after death, this present human being will leave all his resources behind him. The world behind him will be the world which he will leave forever and ahead of him will be the world where he is to live eternally, bereft of all resources. The wise one is he who prepares himself for this day.
