Man and God

Contradiction between the Human World and the Rest of the Cosmos enters a world that is free from every type of limitation and unfavourable condition. God has made this perfect and eternal world in the form of Heaven. But no one can gain entrance into the world of Heaven just like that. The price of that perfect world to come is this present, imperfect world. One who can sacrifice this present world for the world to come alone will enter that heavenly world in the life after death. One who is not willing to make this sacrifice will also enter a world after death – but not the joyous and delightful world of Heaven, but, rather a world of eternal misery and despair. Contradiction between the Human World and the Rest of the Cosmos I was standing before a mountain, far from any human habitation. The place was surrounded by beautiful trees. Birds called out in sheer delight. Different types of insects crawled around. Witnessing all this, I felt a strange feeling pass through me. How great and how perfect must that God be who made such a vast world and then caused it to work in exact accordance with His plan! How beautiful, and how innocent, is this world! Here, birds utter only those sounds that their Creator has taught them. Here, cats and sheep obtain their food in exactly the manner that has been established for them by birth. Here, trees grow in complete accordance with the pattern that their Lord has, from the very beginning, determined for them.
