FROM THE SPIRITUAL TREE

The present world is such that a person is able to amass great wealth by dishonest means, but in the world to come only uprightness and honesty will make a person competent for anything. Similarly, those who speak deceitful words to acquire acceptance among people will find no words to utter in the life to come. This is because in the Hereafter only sincere and truthful speech will be given value. People who, in this world, achieve fame on the basis of material wealth will be humbled in the next world, as there only spiritual attainment will be of significance. All other non-spiritual achievements will be divested of glory. Those, who today are in the habit of gathering crowds around them by raising slogans about non-issues will realize after death that they are without any supporter. On the Day of Judgment, people will pay attention to only those issues which have importance in the true sense of the word. In this world, people often disregard the truth to reach great heights, but in the world Hereafter only those who acknowledged the truth will be bestowed positions of eminence. The present world is such that a person is able to amass great wealth by dishonest means, but in the world to come only uprightness and honesty will make a person competent for anything. People, in the present world, work hard to please others to achieve their own interests. But on the Day of Judgment, only that person will be held deserving of rewards who had made effort in this world to please God. o Provocation If someone seeks to provoke you, you should not allow yourself to get provoked. If someone conspires against you, you should render the conspiracy ineffective through wisdom and silent positive action.
