injustice should be punished. This natural demand or urge finds its fulfilment only in acceptance of the concept of the universe with God. A denial of this concept provides no answer to this innate urge in man. Every man, by birth, has an ocean of desires surging within him. In the present world, the fulfillment of these desires is not possible. According to the concept of the universe without God, man is fated to never have his desires fulfilled; but the concept of the universe with God, holds out the hope that man will find total fulfillment of his desires in the next stage of his life after death. Consciousness of Time The study of human psychology shows that man is a time-conscious creature. Man is the only creature cognizant of his past, present and future. But it is an undeniable fact that every one finds only the ‘present’ in his life. Deprived of his future, every man dies in depression. He acts for a better future throughout his present life. But in his limited life span, he cannot find his better future and he is forced to leave this world in despair. An internet search for, ‘Risk Factor: Depression’, lists over five hundred eminent people who have suffered depression, many of whom have died in a state of despair. The concept of the universe without God fails to provide any answer to the question of whether there is an after-life or not, whereas the concept of a universe with God provides satisfactory answers to all of man’s questions on this subject. The Principle of Pairs The study of the universe shows that, here, everything has been created in pairs — negative electric particles are paired with positive electric particles, the flowers in the trees are divided into male and female, animals are both male and female, human beings are likewise male and female. This is a universal law. In this world everything has its pair. Only a concept of a universe with God provides satisfactory answers to all of man’s questions. On a parallel with this, human life must also have its pair. That is, the incomplete life before death should be succeeded by a complete life after death. According to the concept of a universe with God, this ‘pair’ of human life exists; but according to the concept of a universe without God, this complementary pair does not exist.
