The Road to Paradise
The Road to Paradise
~ 9 ~
In the perfect world of nature the imperfect human
world appears to be a contradiction. Paradise puts
an end to this contradiction. Paradise signifies
perfect world of eternal comforts and pleasures for
man, a world which is invested with a meaning, far
greater even than that immanent in the natural
world. Perhaps it is this divine plan which has thus
been alluded to by Jesus Christ in these words:
Pray to God in these words: Our Father in Heaven,
hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come, Your
will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew:
chapter 6)
The question “Who am I?” is asked by everyone,
consciously or unconsciously. The answer is: I am a
traveller to Paradise. This world is a pathway and
paradise is its final destination. Man has come here
to tread this path while on his way to eternal bliss.
Paradise is an eternal abode: a perfect place for all
kinds of happiness and comforts. Paradise is free
from all kinds of limitations and disadvantages.
Paradise is the realization of human dreams of
finding an ideal world. If the present world is a
‘thorn,’ then the world of paradise is the ‘rose’.
