Discovery of God

LIVING IN GOD’S NEIGHBOURHOOD this extraordinary capacity to use it to discover the Highest Reality—that is, God. Man’s trial rests on discovering God, Who is in the Unseen. Before seeing Him, man should voluntarily surrender himself before God. He should be so desirous of Paradise that this world appears meaningless to him. He should adopt divine ethics without any external pressure on him to do so. He should develop his intellectual and spiritual being to such an extent that he produces in himself the ability to inhabit the refined world of Paradise. Paradise is a heavenly colony where peace, love, and noble character prevail. Of this world’s inhabitants, only those who have succeeded in maintaining a high moral character will find a place in Paradise. According to the creation plan of God, this limited world in which man finds himself before death has all the necessary ingredients for the ‘trial’. It has man as the perfectionseeking creature in a less-than-perfect world where he has been given complete freedom. Man, thus, has a choice to misuse his freedom by creating havoc, killing people, living a life of leisure, or using his freedom wisely by submitting to an unseen God and qualifying for Paradise.
