Entering The Gates To Heaven (Part 2)
In yesterday’s message, we explained the time when deities or devi devtas stayed in this world and they were the happiest human beings that have ever existed with lots of wealth and complete happiness of nature. Such a time is remembered in all religions in different ways. In Christianity there is a reference to the Garden of Eden. Also, Christians commonly use the words – Heavenly God Father which literally means the Father who has established heaven who is none other than God or the Supreme Soul. In Islam, the word Bahist is commonly used and also the Garden of Allah is a common term that we speak of in English which means that Allah had created a place where everyone was happy and there was plenty to enjoy. In India, we commonly say that a soul has departed to heaven i.e. it has gone into a joyful life when someone dies which means the soul has left its old physical body. Why do we want someone to go to heaven after he or she has gone away and why do we remember it so much? This is because it has existed at some time in the past and as we have taken many births and have changed physical bodies or costumes we still have a faint memory of the world in which we have lived in the past and experienced complete happiness.
Even in countries outside India, heaven and hell are commonly referred to in general discussions. Heaven and hell are not regions somewhere up above and down below respectively. Heaven was the day of humanity which we lived in when we started our journey on the Earth and hell is the night of humanity which we live in now, where there is complete sorrow and peacelessness.The time in between hell and heaven is the time when we souls get purified by God and return back to the soul world up above.
