MAN

it is for him to accept his own existence. Belief in God is doubtless an extraordinary feat of the imagination, but it is no more extraordinary than believing in man. Once one has accepted one such extraordinary phenomenon, what is there to prevent one from accepting another? Tragedy of Man According to the law of nature, human beings are created in such situations where they have to spend all their lives in struggle and hardship. Difficulty and sadness are an essential part of the creation plan of the Creator. No man has the power to prevent himself from the life of trials and tribulations. This system is to remind man of the fact that the present world is not made as a place of luxury and comfort, rather it is made as a testing ground. The present world is created so that man may pass through different situations where it is being decided whether that person is eligible for the eternal life of Paradise or not. One who does not respond positively and rightly in these situations, will be separated from the rest and suffer eternal punishment. In the present developed world, the conditions of difficulty are still present. But the people, owing to unawareness of God’s creation plan, do not understand its nature. By giving the wrong response they prove themselves in the eyes of God like the ones who underwent the examination course but could not make themselves successful. In the present times, big institutions have been established, claiming to provide services for de-stressing like meditation; that is to relax people by stopping the function of thinking. But this is not a real solution to the problem. There is only one true solution to this problem and that is stress management. This is a matter of general observation that those people, who have suffered in their lives, develop the psychology of, “Let no other suffer what I have suffered.” This psychology shows that man thinks of every matter as simply worldly matter. According to him, sufferings are only worldly suffering and the biggest task is to make this world a non-suffering place. Whereas this thinking is against the creation scheme of nature, therefore it is just not possible to make this world a suffering-free zone. Believing in God is no different from believing in one’s own self.
