O Man!

When man reaches the next world, the power to make decisions will lie with God and not man.

Around a dozen eggs were kept on the table. They all seemed all right. However, when they were broken, each one turned out to be rotten! So, none were good, even though they all looked fine from the outside.

The same is happening with people these days. Externally, everyone seems to be a decent human being. They wear good clothes. They speak beautiful things. They all have a long list of stories of their doings that they love narrating. However, if you experience them, you will discover that they are very different. They are beautiful from the outside but not quite so from the inside.

When a problematic situation arises—when there is a question of a business transaction, when there is some complaint or bitterness, when it is a matter of someone’s interests being hurt, and so on—one discovers that a person’s inner reality is not the same as what appears from the outside. Ugliness is hidden behind beautiful garb. Selfishness, superficiality, show, pride, jealousy, opportunism, prejudice, and exploitation are hidden behind people’s exteriors. Everyone seems like a ‘good egg’ on the outside, but the reality is very different if you break the ‘egg’ and see things inside the person.

This is how the world is today. If you deeply examine things, you will hear either the sadistic laughter of the oppressor or the pathetic cries of the oppressed. You will see people driven by the most terrible impulses to fulfil their selfish desires, living in a state of total unawareness.

However, this is not going to remain forever. Very soon, the time will come when man will find himself in another world, where the power to make decisions will lie with God and not man.
