The Reality of Paradise

What is Paradise? Paradise is the ultimate answer to the human quest. Man finds himself in a world where he has the distinction of being a unique exception. That is to say that every part of this vast, zero-defect universe is complete in itself, unlike man, who is the only creature who is not complete in himself. Certainty prevails all over the universe, but the human world is marred by uncertainty. Fear is nowhere to be found in the universe, but man continually suffers from fear and apprehension. The rest of the universe, receiving everything that it wants, is in a state of equilibrium, while human beings, the only creatures in this world to suffer from the painful thought that they have not received what they wanted, are in a state of imbalance. Moreover, the rest of the universe is evil-free, while human beings continually suffer from the problem of evil.

Paradise is the answer to all these problems. The concept of Paradise shows that man too will find everything that the rest of the universe has found, the only difference being that the rest of the universe is receiving what it wants today itself, while man will receive what he wants tomorrow. The rest of the universe has no concept of futurity. It is only man who possesses this concept.
