God has divided the human lifespan into two parts. One part of the iceberg is its tip. The rest of the body of the iceberg is underneath the ocean. The pre-death period is the tip of the iceberg. The rest of our life is in the post-death period. The ideal world made by God exists in the post-death period. A person seeks in this world something which is to come in the next world. But he won't find it in this world. A person seeks the ideal, but finds less than ideal. He seeks Paradise, but finds something else. This is the reason for tension, stress and sadness.
God has kept the concept of Paradise in human nature. Paradise is the perfect and ideal world which will have everything we want. The concept of Paradise is ingrained in us by birth. Every person is in search of this Paradise. A person lives in hope of having the ideal world of his dreams. He wants to achieve it. But this ideal world cannot be achieved in this world.

There is a story about musk. Musk has very nice fragrance. It is found in the deer. When the deer started giving out the fragrance of musk, he began to search here and there for the source of the fragrance. Someone said to him: You are looking for the fragrance outside of yourself, although it is within you. I will say that a person looks for Paradise in this world, but it is to be achieved in the world after death. In entire history, the achievers also couldn’t gain satisfaction. This proves that in this world we cannot have Paradise. We want the ideal world of Paradise, but only get less than ideal. No one in entire history has found Paradise. Not even a single person could achieve Paradise in the present world.
