the world so painstakingly built by them, only to find that the world which lies ahead for them is a never-ending desert for which they were not prepared. One who has lived all along in security and comfort is suddenly confronted with having to live in a state of total deprivation. The stage of life before death is not just the first but is also the final chance for all human beings to bow to God’s will. They are not going— at any later stage—to have a second chance. One who made use of this chance only to provide himself with worldly comforts and luxuries will be compelled to live in the stage of life after death divested of all former material supports. For death will separate him from his past history and he will never have another chance to make a new history. How strange it is that man is losing the only chance he has today of developing those virtues most desired for him by God and how devastating it will be when, tomorrow, man will be in a total state of deprivation, and it will not be possible for him to save himself from it. o Voice of the Conscience Going against one’s conscience is not very easy. It is this behaviour that creates what is called tension or stress. If you want to live with a tension free mind, listen to the voice of your conscience and follow it without any reservation.
