Thus, you will discover: my place is not here. This world is less than ideal, less than perfect. If the Creator made such a beautiful, perfect, and complete world, surely He will also create for me a world that is perfect and ideal for me—a world that is not impossible to attain. Man searches for the world, according to the Creator’s plan, where he can find complete fulfilment. Every person has this question: How can one attain fulfilment? You will realize that fulfilment is not given to millionaires, nor to the most powerful, nor to the wealthiest. The contradiction between your perfect creation and the imperfect world is itself the clue. Thinking along these lines, you will progress and discover that this world is not my habitat. Just as a fish, when taken out of water, writhes in distress, but when placed back in water jumps joyfully—likewise, the Creator has shown us by example: He gave fish its habitat (water), animals their habitat (forests), trees their habitat (soil). There is nothing in the world that has been left without its habitat— except the human being. Then you will discover that this is a great blessing from the Creator upon me—because I long for eternity. Every human being has the desire for eternity: never to die, never to fall ill, never to grow old, never to have accidents. The Creator knew that if He gave eternity to me here, it would not be possible—because for that, you would have to live forever without death, without accidents, without boredom—and that is not possible in this world. So you will discover that God, or the Creator, has divided my lifespan into two parts: 1. Pre-death period 2. Post-death period The pre-death period is given so that I can prove myself to be a deserving candidate for that ideal world we call Paradise. That is the purpose of this world.
