God and the Life Hereafter
God and the Life Hereafter
~ 13 ~
Similarly, in the case of denial of the Hereafter, it
remains totally incomprehensible that man should
be born into this world with the concept of an ideal
world, while all of us leave this world without
finding this ideal world. This riddle is also solved
by acceptance of the Hereafter; man may then live
in this present world with the conviction that the
objects of his desire, which he failed to find in this
world, will be given to him in the world after death.
A study of this subject shows that in this world
nothing has been created in vain. Right from the
sun and the moon to the tiniest insects—all have
been created to serve some purpose and that is
exactly what they are doing. Given this state of
affairs, there is only one thing in this world which
appears to be purposeless and that is that all men
and women are born with beautiful desires. When
everything in this world has been created with
some specific purpose, it also seems logical that
human desires should eventually fructify. In a
universe where everything is created with some
purpose, it can never turn out that human desires
have been created in vain.
