Man Know Thyself
The Other World
~ 23 ~
clever and resourceful that he is able to escape
punishment, or the human resources required to
inflict punishment are lacking and so the evil-doer
goes scot free. Crimes are often repeated for just
such reasons. But the perpetrator of evil should not
congratulate himself too soon on the success of his
schemes or on his ability to escape, for it is exactly
this type of action that he will be called to account
for by his Creator on the Day of Judgement.
Everyone, no matter from what walk of life he hails,
will be required to stand before his Maker and lay
his life absolutely bare before Him. On the basis of
the actions which fall into the ethical category,
where moral precepts, scruples, are of overriding
importance, he will either be ushered into paradise
or cast down into the flaming pits of hell. If all this
was kept hidden from him in this world, it was
because it was God’s plan to put man on trial.
The afterworld is where man will reap the full
consequences of his deeds according to their moral
nature. Every action has some consequences for the
perpetrator, and every state that he finds himself in
precipitates a favourable or unfavourable reaction.
