Animals have no consciousness of tomorrow. They live only in their ‘today’ and die in their ‘today’. On the other hand, man cherishes a very distinct and pleasant consciousness of ‘tomorrow’, an aspiration towards a better day, or the fulfillment of his dreams. All human beings strive hard to make their ‘tomorrow’ better and better.  But they do not find this ‘tomorrow’. The reason being that this ‘tomorrow’ is not to materialize in this world, but will come into existence, in the eternal life to come, i.e. in the Hereafter.

After death, everyone will discover that ‘tomorrow’. Those who have prepared for it will meet with all kinds of success there, while those who have not made the necessary preparations will be doomed. They will be denied all the good things of that life.

This world is therefore a ‘pathway’ and paradise is its ‘final destination’. Man has come here to tread this path while on his way to eternal paradise – and bliss.

Paradise is an eternal abode: a perfect place for all kinds of happiness and comforts. Paradise is free from all kinds of limitations and disadvantages. Paradise is the realization of human dreams of finding an ideal world. If the present world is a ‘thorn,’ then the world of paradise is a ‘rose’.

Can Paradise be made in this World?

In this world everyone suffers frustration and failure. The reason is that everyone wants to find his desired world in this present world itself, whereas the present limited and ephemeral world is not created for this purpose. That is why, despite all efforts, one fails to find one’s dream world in this life. The present world, in actual fact is not paradise; it just makes paradise understandable to us.

The present world is full of limitations. It does not have the means to fulfill the unlimited desires of man. It has all the means of subsistence at the animal level, but does not have the spiritual necessities of the higher level of man.

If our eternal life is a journey, it is just a waiting room and not the final destination of the journey. But man often mistakes it for his destination, and his life thus becomes one of missed opportunities.
