INFINITE MIND, FINITE WORLD

Born For Tomorrow

Humanity requires a vastly greater world and a much longer lifespan for its complete fulfilment. In our current state, the potential of our minds remains far from being fully utilised.

A true believer requites evil with good.

In the universe we know, man is the only creature with intelligence. No other creature possesses this quality, according to our knowledge. Animals are living creatures, but their actions are governed by instinct, which can be called unconscious intelligence. Conscious intelligence is a human specialty, not possessed by any other creature.

Modern research has shown that the human brain has unlimited potential. It contains about 86 billion neurons. Man is born with unlimited potential, but experience shows that everyone departs from the world feeling that they failed to achieve their goals. Fulfilment is the deepest aspiration of a human being, yet every man dies without reaching this destination. This is a tragedy that affects all men and women in the world.

There are countless other creatures in the world, just like humans, who are born and die. However, they never face the same level of discontentment as humans.  We can find the answer to this contradiction by comparing man to animals. A comparative study of man and animals reveals that the concept of tomorrow is exceptionally found within humans. It is deeply ingrained in human nature that we want to extend our present into the future, hoping to find what we missed today.

The case of animals is different. Their study shows that they have no concept of tomorrow. They live only in the present moment and die in it. Some animal activities, such as ants gathering food for the future, may seem to be based on a sense of tomorrow, but they are actually driven by the demands of the present rather than by a conscious awareness of the future.

When we consider the unique quality of humanity, we find that our innate drive to find fulfilment lies in the future. This fulfilment can be achieved tomorrow, as our biological span on Earth is limited. Nature has provided for its fulfilment within our lifespan.

Human life is divided into two stages: pre-death and post-death. The pre-death stage is temporary, while the post-death stage is eternal. This division is made to ensure that what we cannot find today, we may find in the next stage of life tomorrow.

As mentioned earlier, our human brain contains an astonishing 100 billion particles, possessing an unlimited potential. However, our physical age of around 100 years is insufficient to realise this potential. Even if our age were much longer, the conditions on Earth are so limited that our unlimited mind cannot fully utilise its potential on this limited planet.

Realising this reality compels us to believe that humanity requires a vastly greater world and a much longer lifespan for its complete fulfilment. In our current state, the potential of our minds remains far from being fully utilised.

When we consider life in this context, we can liken it to an iceberg. A tiny portion of the iceberg is visible in the stage of life before death, while the majority remains hidden in the stage of life after death. It is challenging to fully comprehend human life without this analogy, and when a concept becomes the sole explanation for an observation, it becomes an academic proof of its validity. In this regard, it is the right academic and scientific stance.

When we consider these realities, we learn that the present world is only a temporary abode, not the eternal destination for humanity. Every man is inevitably faced with death. What is death? It’s a bridge between temporal and eternal life. The present world is like a training period for us, a time to receive full training before moving on to the next eternal world. There, we’ll have the opportunity to utilize our full potential and achieve happiness through total fulfilment.

However, in the second stage of life, only those who have received the necessary training in the first stage will be successful. Those who haven’t will be denied the opportunity to benefit from those opportunities. Their fate will be that of one who remained deprived of fulfilment in both the world they left behind and the world of the Hereafter. This deprivation will undoubtedly be a punishment, a harder punishment to imagine.

If a person lives only in the present moment and dies in the present moment, they’re living and dying like an animal. The true man is one who reaches his ‘tomorrow’ by passing through his ‘today’. After expiring their limited worldly age, those who have made full preparation for their ‘tomorrow’ are worthy of being called successful.
