Man and Paradise

The truth is that human deeds performed over a few years can never equate to what is required for entry into Paradise. Anyone who believes that their actions alone will gain them entry into Paradise will find in the Hereafter that they are like someone who has just one rupee and wants to buy an aeroplane. ELIGIBILITY FOR PARADISE Paradise is for one who attains the realization of their Creator at the level of maarifah while God is unseen and who bows down before God while possessing the freedom to disobey Him. Paradise is a blessing without limits, attainable only by paying a high price. Only a few fortunate souls will be declared eligible to reside in the world of Paradise. The first test for admission into Paradise is that one must realize their Creator. They should discover the Truth amidst a jungle of thoughts, views, beliefs, and ideologies. They should develop the insight to perceive what is not visible to the physical eye and feel what cannot be comprehended at the physical level. Passing by the tumult of the external world, they should become a traveller of the inner world. Another condition for admission to Paradise is that one must bow down before God while retaining the freedom to disobey. Ignoring all temptations to become self-centred, they must become completely God-centered, genuinely devoted to God and God alone. Turning away from innumerable sources of glitter and attraction, they must devote their full attention to God.
