Man’s Search for Truth

seal everybody’s tongue. Injustice will benefit no one; Truth will be inescapable. Man will stand alone and be answerable for his actions. Man has many concerns in this world, but after death, he will be concerned with one thing alone: saving himself from being deprived of God’s blessings. If one has ample time at one’s disposal, one engages in many tasks. But if time is short, then one concentrates on the most important task. No time is fixed for death. It can come at any moment. This fact makes death an even more delicate issue. Everyone is on the move, and everyone’s journey ends in death. Death means eternal bliss for some and eternal deprivation for others. Fortunate are those who find themselves on the threshold of Heaven at the time of death; they will dwell in everlasting bliss; they will know neither grief nor apprehension. WITHOUT AN IDENTITY CARD On the Day of Judgment, rewards will be distributed to those who made themselves eligible for such a reward before the arrival of that day. Once, a boy from a village came to the city. Walking down a street, he passed by a school building. It so happened that the school was celebrating a function that day. The schoolboys had formed a queue outside a window. The village boy went closer to see what the matter was. He noticed that the students were being given sweets. And so, he also joined the queue. As the line moved ahead, he advanced, too, dreaming of the sweets that he thought he would soon be eating, like the other boys.
