SUCCESSFUL LIFE, UNSUCCESSFUL END

achieving a life of happiness, without realizing that they have been pursuing something which was not achievable at all in this world. Having desires, but not having a life of fulfillment of these desires points towards a great reality. The reality is that whatever man wants to achieve in the temporary pre-death period, the Creator of the universe has placed it in the eternal post-death period. In such a situation wisdom lies in making ourselves deserving of success in the world Hereafter. For this, man should devote himself to the preparation of the eternal life of the Hereafter which will come after this temporary period on earth. He should not endeavour to fulfill his desires in this world itself. Man is an idealist by birth but, in the present world, everything is less than ideal. This is the actual reason for a life of tension. Whatever man achieves—having exerted himself to the full—is always less than his desired standard. Therefore, he becomes stressed. Therefore, having a foreknowledge of the place of the fulfillment of one’s desires is a matter of necessity. One who has this foreknowledge will plan his actions realistically and will then be able to reach his destination. Such a person will never live in a state of tension. o The reality is that whatever man wants to achieve in the temporary pre-death period, the Creator of the universe has placed it in the eternal post-death period. Faith and Reason It is reason which transforms blind faith into a matter of intellectual choice.
