Concept of Tomorrow

possessing the concept of ‘tomorrow’ or the future. It is as if an indelible part of man’s nature is to want to extend his ‘today’ to ‘tomorrow’. He seeks to get in his ‘tomorrow’ what he failed to get in his ‘today’. The case of animals is different. Animals have no concept of ‘tomorrow’. They live only in the present moment. They live only in ‘today’ and die in this same ‘today’. So even though some actions of certain animals may appear to be based on a concept of ‘tomorrow’—for example, ants collecting food for the next season—this happens due to their instinctual demands and not out of the consciousness of ‘tomorrow’ or the future. Man’s life has two stages—the pre-death and post-death periods. The former is temporary, and the latter is eternal. This division is so that whatever man could not obtain ‘today’ in the present world, he may be able to obtain in ‘tomorrow’, in the world of the Hereafter. As pointed out above, some 100 billion particles exist in the human brain. In other words, the human brain has enormous potential. This potential is so great that man’s natural lifespan here on earth is insufficient to use it. Even if man’s life here was much longer than it generally is, the conditions of this world are so limited that in a finite world, man would still not be able to use all of the potential of his mind. Man needs a very long life and a much bigger world for fulfilment. However, in the present conditions, the potentials of his mind always remain grossly underutilized.
