The Destiny of Man

in the pre-death stage of his life, the result of which will be received in the post-death stage. Knowledge of this law is crucial in understanding the true nature of human life. An understanding of this law makes man’s life meaningful. This law provides perfect answers to all existential questions. After knowing this law, one gets a satisfactory explanation of human life. According to this law, the world before death is the period for man to sow seeds, while the world after death is the period to obtain the results of this sowing: a rich harvest of flowers and fruits or a jungle of thorns, as the case might be. Man should refrain from making a useless effort to obtain in the present world itself the flowers and fruits—i.e., Paradise—that can be had only in the Hereafter. Instead, he should focus all his attention on sowing good seeds—through righteous actions in the best possible way. If he does this, in this world of test, he will obtain all that he could not get in the world before death in the form of Paradise in the Hereafter.
