PARADISE—AN IDEOLOGY OF LIFE

Man is a Paradise-seeker by nature. Everyone desires to realize the latent Paradise hidden within human nature. To remain tension-free, we must understand that Paradise is achievable only in the next world. The present world serves merely as a preparation for eternal Paradise.

The conviction that Paradise exists is not a simple belief; it is a comprehensive ideology. The belief in Paradise encompasses all aspects of life. The importance of Paradise can be properly understood only when it is linked to the entirety of human existence.

The study of man shows that man is a Paradise-seeking being. Man’s nature craves an ideal world where everything meets the highest standards of perfection—another name for this is Paradise. The attainment of this Paradise is a dream shared by every man and woman.

If we examine the present state of humanity, we find that all human beings are exceedingly greedy for material things. Everyone desires as much wealth and power as possible. This is because man seeks to realize the latent Paradise hidden within human nature. However, a permanent obstacle exists: the present world, with its limited resources, is imperfect. The creation of Paradise in such an imperfect world is impossible.

The contradiction between potential and actuality is the root cause of all evils in this world. This contradiction keeps people in a state of mental tension, leading to frustration and, at times, even violent behaviour.

There is only one solution to this problem: to create awareness of the reality that Paradise is achievable only in the next world, never in the present one. The belief in Paradise makes man a realist, and realism is the sole secret to success.
