God and the Hereafter

Part of Human Nature The issue of God and the Hereafter relates to the unseen world. However, the fact is that this is also a necessary part of human nature. Therefore, human nature knows God and the Hereafter as indisputable truths. Believing in or accepting God at the level of the mind is only the introductory stage of knowing or realizing God. To have absolute faith in the existence of God and the Hereafter is its highest stage. The purpose of using intellectual proof concerning the existence of God and the Hereafter is only so that the veils of doubt are lifted from man’s eyes and that man is brought to the position where he accepts God and the Hereafter as, at least, possible truths. The purpose of using logic and evidence concerning God and the Hereafter is that man be brought to that intellectual level where he becomes ready to accept the existence of God and the Hereafter as the basis of a complete worldview. When a person reaches this stage, the doors of his nature open up. Recognizing the existence of God and the Hereafter as fundamental truths, he accepts them. Every man has the ‘eye’ to ‘see’ God and the Hereafter, but the veil of conditioning lies over this ‘eye’. Logical evidence destroys this conditioning or mental block and removes the artificial curtains covering this ‘eye’. After this, man begins to clearly ‘see’ God and the Hereafter. Man now obtains perfect certainty about God Who is not visible, just as a child has complete certainty about his mother even though he has never seen himself emerging from her womb.
