Death, A Unilateral Matter

In the world before death, man was in possession of life supports. In the period after death, those who made themselves deserving will find all these things in the later period of their life after death, only in larger measure, as a reward. Others will live in eternal deprivation.

An earthquake always comes unheralded and unsought. An earthquake is so definitive an event that human beings have no power over it. The same is true of death. Death always comes unannounced and on its own terms. It is irreversible. This aspect of death is the most serious one. It demands that man should be ever ready to face up to it.

When death comes upon one all of a sudden, one finds oneself all alone. Before death man lived among many things–home, family, friends and supporters, as well as the whole world of nature, which is ever-present to fulfil all his needs at every moment.

After death, all of a sudden man feels that, although his existence remains just like as it was before, everything outside of his existence has abandoned him. When he looks before him he finds no one. When he looks behind him, he sees no one. When he looks to the right and left, he finds silence everywhere. He feels that here except for his own helplessness there is nothing.

In the world before death, man was in possession of so many things. But all these things were just meant to be temporary life supports. They were meant only for his life before death. In the period after death, no one is going to find such things ever again. But those men and women who have made themselves deserving will find all these things in the later period of their life after death, only in larger measure, as a reward. But without having been meritorious no man or woman is going to find all these things which are necessary for survival in the life Hereafter.
