Even our greatest artists could not produce any other model for the ants or the tiger, for the deer or the elephant or the birds or the fishes, and so on. It is a fact that everything in this world has been cast in its final mould. We just cannot think of a better model for anything that exists in this world of nature. However, there is only one aspect of this vast world, which is an exception to this general rule, and that is the recurrence of the many unpleasant things in the human world. Here there is suffering, old age, accidents and death. Life is marked with all kinds of misery and fear. Even when there does not appear to be any problem, there are boredom and tension which in themselves are unbearable. Why is there this contradiction? The answer to this is to be found in the existence of the paradise of the next world. The Creator of the universe made another world besides the present one, one in accordance with the desires of human beings, in that it is free of all kinds of limitations and disadvantages, including fear and pain. There, man will have every opportunity to live to his full capacity. His being will have its fulfillment.
