The Road to Paradise
The Road to Paradise

will find a place, who have succeeded in
maintaining a high moral character.
For one who has no concept of paradise, total
satisfaction in this present world will turn out to be
a lifelong quest that has ended in failure. People
expend all their energy in its pursuit, but they fail to
construct this dream world for themselves.
One who is able to discover paradise, begins his life
in paradise from this world itself. Here, he will have
the pleasure of its intellectual discovery; and after
death he will have the pleasure of actually
experiencing it. Today, he is blessed with peace of
mind; tomorrow he will experience this peaceful life
in his external world also. Today he has the full
satisfaction of conviction at the intellectual level,
tomorrow he will find an opportunity to live in the
pleasures and comforts of practical life. Today he is
living in a world of limitations, tomorrow he will
find an unlimited world in which to live forever, in
total freedom. Today he finds paradise in the
intellectual sense, tomorrow he will find it in the
practical sense. Indeed, there is nothing greater than
this for man.
