Return Not Possible
The present world is a world of action; there is no reward to be meted out here. The next world will be the world of reward, and there will be no opportunity for action for anyone.
When I see people laughing today and caught up in all sorts of entertainment, I am shocked. I am shocked to see people laughing and amusing themselves today. Heightened sensitivity makes the hairs on my body stand on end. I start thinking how strange an end they are going to be faced with, while blissfully unaware of it they are laughing at this moment. Very soon they are going to face the dreadful end. They can never save themselves from it. What was required of them was to remain silent and try to find some strategy to save themselves from this horrible end.
This end is death. Everyone who is born into this world has to die. No one can save himself from death. Neither is he able to end his own life. After being born, everyone has become eternal. He has an eternal existence. Everyone has to live, even after death.
After death, all of a sudden everyone will find himself in such a world from which return is impossible. In this next world, man’s state will be such that he will have no return ticket to come back to this present world. The present world is a world of action; there is no reward to be meted out here. The next world will be the world of reward, and there will be no opportunity for action for anyone. This is the fate of every man and woman and no one can change this fate.
Living in this present world, we must first of all know what the creation plan of our Creator is. Why has the Creator created this strange world and why has He created man with such unique capabilities? People’s present state is due to their unawareness of this creation plan. They think that they are not going to face another end. If man knows that he is a traveller on a long journey that he has to undertake in this present world and then enter into the next world in the Hereafter, the whole map of life will be transformed.
