including fear and pain. There, man will have every
opportunity to live to his full capacity. His being
will have its fulfillment. It is moreover an eternal
world, where we shall remain young forever, and
old age will not afflict us any longer. We shall not
fall victim to any decline or decay.
The world of nature functions at the zero defect
level. Everything here is a final model. Man has
been created in his final shape. Yet we find human
life in this world imperfect to an extreme degree. It
is marred by all kinds of evil. This dualism in one
and the same universe demands as a logical
necessity that this contradiction be brought to an
end. Man should also attain to a perfect life as does
the rest of the world. Yet this difference is not an
evil. In fact, it is in accord with God’s creation plan.
God, according to His plan of creation has made a
totally perfect world called paradise. But the entry
to this world is not open to all, being on a selective
basis. It is only those who, in their life before death,
come up to the standard of the citizenship of
paradise, who will be granted an abode in this
perfect world of paradise.
