Man has been created in his final shape. Yet we find human life in this world imperfect to an extreme degree. It is marred by all kinds of evil. This dualism in one and the same universe demands as a logical necessity that this contradiction be brought to an end. Man should also attain to a perfect life as does the rest of the world. Yet this difference is not an evil. In fact, it is in accord with God’s creation plan. God, according to His plan of creation has made a totally perfect world called paradise. But the entry to this world is not open to all, being on a selective basis. It is only those who, in their life before death, come up to the standard of the citizenship of paradise, who will be granted an abode in this perfect world of paradise. This paradise, which is hidden from our eyes due to the exigencies of man’s trial, has been created for man alone. However, entry to this world of paradise has been restricted. Entry will be given only to those pure souls who have brought with them the necessary qualification. This paradise has been brought into existence in the world after death. The stage before death is one of preparation, and the stage after death is that of reward commensurate with this preparation.
This world has been given to us for test, but we wrongly take it as a reward.
The worst example of living in falsehood is to take test items as reward items. Everything in the world -- from threading needle to buildings, cars, family and friends -- are test papers. Apart from our own existence, our body and mind, everything is part of test paper. But we assume that God has bestowed grace upon us and rewarded us. What we consider as God's grace -- children, building, business, job -- are actually test papers. When you take this as God's special reward or grace, you develop pride and arrogance. And then one behaves in an abnormal way. But if you discover that all these are test papers from God, you will become modest, tolerant and realize that you are nothing. In honesty, I believe this is the worst kind of falsehood.
I won't be exaggerating if I say that the worst example of living in falsehood is to take test items as reward items. All evils in history arise from this attitude. We couldn’t realize that all this has been given to us by God for taking our test. If a person thinks like this, he will be very conscious, feel responsible and accountable all the time. All his actions would be upright. But if you consider what you have as blessings or rewards, your thinking would change. Your lifestyle would undergo a change. Your behaviour would alter.
The worst example in history of living in falsehood is that people took test items as reward items.
