Beyond this Life

Everyone is facing impending death. Wise is one who prepares for the Hereafter, where one will have to face the consequences of one’s actions.

Man apparently has a perfect existence. But in reality his is only an imperfect existence. Man has eyes but cannot see without the aid of external light. Man has ears but he cannot hear without the medium of the air around him. Man has feet but he cannot walk without the balance given by the force of gravity. Man has a mouth but without food from the external world, he cannot fulfil his need for food.

Now let us think of a time when you are fully alive with the same existence, but you find yourself deprived of all the external wherewithal necessary for your survival. You have eyes but you have no external light by which to see. You have a mouth but all food is absent. You have feet but the earth which would give you balance by its gravity does not exist. Furthermore, you are left all alone. Everyone else has abandoned you.

This is not a supposition. This state of affairs is going to be faced by every man and woman after death. All men and women will inevitably have to face this reality. Anyone who is alive today will certainly die one day and then, after death, he will find himself in a world which will be as described above.

This coming day is hurtling towards everyone. It must be the top priority for every man and woman to learn of this impending day and prepare for it. When that day comes it will be a point of no return. Then man will surely have to face the consequences of his actions. He can never come back to relive his life in this world. From the moment of one’s birth, the countdown begins for all men and women. No one knows when this countdown will reach the final number.
