The Destiny of Man
English book, p. 14
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
THE DESTINY OF MAN Man’s life has been structured based on the principle of action and reward. The world before death is the period for a man to sow seeds, while the world after death is the period to obtain the results of this sowing. Every person builds for himself a world of desires. He spends all his time on this project, so much so that the last moment of his short life arrives, and he departs from this world in utter frustration because he failed to acquire all he had wanted. Why is this so? In this vast Universe, man is the only creature who possesses innumerable desires. Will these desires never be fulfilled, and will every person be buried in the graveyard of their desires? Every person harbours dreams of a beautiful world. Does this world of dreams exist only to remain a mere dream and never come true? Every person nurtures a garden of hope in his breast, but no one is able to enter that beautiful garden. Why is there this contradiction in Nature?
