The Road to Paradise

consciously or unconsciously. The answer is : I am a traveller to Paradise. This world is a pathway and paradise is its final destination. Man has come here to tread this path while on his way to eternal bliss. Paradise is an eternal abode: a perfect place for all kinds of happiness and comforts. Paradise is free from all kinds of limitations and disadvantages. Paradise is the realization of human dreams of finding an ideal world. If the present world is a ‘thorn,’ then the world of paradise is the ‘rose’. In this world everyone suffers frustration and failure. The reason is that everyone wants to find his desired world in this present world itself, whereas the present limited and ephemeral world is not created for this purpose. That is why, despite all efforts, one fails to find one’s dream world in this life. The present world, in actual fact, makes paradise understandable to us. It is not paradise. But man often mistakes it for his destination, and his life thus becomes one of missed opportunities. By nature, the present world is an imperfect and limited model. It is but an introduction to paradise. It is not paradise in itself. It is a waiting room and not the final destination of the journey.
