Concept of Tomorrow

GOD AND THE LIFE HEREAFTER Keeping this fact in mind, man’s life on earth seems like the tiny tip of a giant iceberg. A small portion of this ‘iceberg’ is visible in the pre-death period of his life, and the remaining, much more extensive part of it is hidden in the eternal post-death phase of life. Without accepting this fact, man’s life cannot be adequately explained. Human life can be understood only when this fact is taken into consideration. Moreover, when something becomes the only possible explanation for a phenomenon, it is intellectual evidence that this explanation is correct. If you keep this reality in mind and analyse life, you will realize that the present world is only a temporary place for man. It is not his permanent or eternal destination. Every person must necessarily face death. Death is like a bridge between the two phases of man’s life. Death is to move from temporary life to eternal life. The present world is that world where man is training himself, as it were. The pre-death period is a training period. Here, man prepares himself for the Hereafter during his temporary stay. Then, after death, he goes to the next, eternal world. If he is eligible for Paradise, there he will get the opportunity to use all the potentials of his mind and acquire the joy of complete fulfilment. In this second period, only those who properly trained themselves in the first period of life will get a place in Paradise. Those who arrive in the Hereafter in a non-trained state will be unable to use the opportunities available there. They will be wholly deprived of fulfilment. No harsher recompense could be conceived of than this.
