Everything in This World is Part of Test

Apart from our own existence, our body and mind, everything is part of test paper. But we assume that God has bestowed grace upon us and rewarded us. What we consider as God's grace -- children, building, business, job -- are actually test papers.  When you take this as God's special reward or grace, you develop pride and arrogance. And then one behaves in an abnormal way. But if you discover that all these are test papers from God, you will become modest, tolerant and realize that you are nothing. In honesty, I believe this is the worst kind of falsehood.

This world has been given to us for test, but we wrongly take it as a reward. The worst example of living in falsehood is to take test items as reward items. Everything in the world -- from threading needle to buildings, cars, family and friends -- are test papers. Apart from our own existence, our body and mind, everything is part of test paper. But we assume that God has bestowed grace upon us and rewarded us. What we consider as God's grace -- children, building, business, job -- are actually test papers.  When you take this as God's special reward or grace, you develop pride and arrogance. And then one behaves in an abnormal way. But if you discover that all these are test papers from God, you will become modest, tolerant and realize that you are nothing. In honesty, I believe this is the worst kind of falsehood. 

I won't be exaggerating if I say that the worst example of living in falsehood is to take test items as reward items. All evils in history arise from this attitude. We couldn’t realize that all this has been given to us by God for taking our test. If a person thinks like this, he will be very conscious, feel responsible and accountable all the time. All his actions would be upright. But if you consider what you have as blessings or rewards, your thinking would change. Your lifestyle would undergo a change. Your behaviour would alter. The worst example in history of living in falsehood is that people took test items as reward items.
