Shaping the Souls for Eternal Paradise

Paradise is for those who have purified themselves. Purification means that man should abandon a life of heedlessness and adopt a life of awareness. He should be strong enough to overcome desires which come in the way of achieving this goal. He should save himself from the things that can deviate him from the Truth. If a matter of expediency comes before him, he should ignore it. If pride or resentment arise, he should bury them inside himself. THIS WORLD: A SELECTION GROUND FOR PARADISE The Creator’s aim is to select those who are fit to inhabit the world of Paradise. To test man, God has given him complete freedom to choose his actions. Only if he uses his freedom wisely, submits to God, will he qualify for Paradise. Man has sought Paradise on Earth for thousands of years due to his natural urges. With the coming of the industrial revolution and the age of consumerism, the man thought that he could build a Paradise on Earth, that the industrial age would culminate into the perfect world—Paradise— that he longed for. However, the hopes that man could make a Paradise on Earth were dashed to pieces with the coming of pollution, acid rain, and global warming. Moreover, now the Covid-19 pandemic has made man realise to the last extent that he cannot build a Paradise on Earth.
