As We Sow, So Shall We Reap

components of creation; they do not form any real part of the creation plan. The world before death is made following the demands of the test. After the period of this test, there will be no need for this world, nor will there be a need for those who fail the test. To make people aware of this creation plan, the Creator has made various arrangements. One such arrangement is that He has placed a deep awareness of the creation plan in the nature of man itself. Everyone experiences a task of complete peace and fulfillment in this world. It applies to almost everyone, rich or poor, powerful or weak. Nearly everyone lives in a state of dissatisfaction and dies in this condition. This general condition of dissatisfaction and frustration should remind us that our destination is somewhere else, that our desirable world is not the present world where we spend the pre-death period of life. This desirable or ideal world is somewhere else—in the Hereafter— and so, we should be motivated to make efforts to obtain it in the post-death period of life. To make people aware of this creation plan, the Creator made this present world so that no one could acquire a life of complete comfort here. There are many problems—sickness, accidents, boredom, suffering, loss, etc. And then, after a short time, one dies. In this way, the unfavourable conditions of the world repeatedly remind man that he cannot make his desired or ideal world here. This world is insufficient to satisfy all his desires. This unfavourable situation continuously compels man to search for the Truth.
