THE GOAL OF LIFE

The Goal of Life ~ 61 ~ should recognise God although He is invisible. The life that takes shape as a result of this realisation is called servitude of God. When a pot floating in the river fills to the brim, it sinks. Similarly when man’s span of action is completed, death comes unannounced. One who reforms himself before his pot is full saves himself. One who remains oblivious till his last day of the necessity to reform; is doomed to eternal destruction. If the oppressors are given a long rope, it does not mean that they have been left scot-free. It only means that it is not the sunnah (way) of God to seize them in haste. God has not created man for the completion of His Being. Rather man has been given this opportunity to prove himself a true servant of God in this world of trial in order that he may be deserving of the blessings of God for all eternity.
