                                                                   CLOSENESS TO GOD

Only those who have recognized God in this world will be admitted to God's paradise in the next. The discovery of God with conviction even though in this world God is invisible; who hears God speaking to him with each throb of his heart; who reads the Book of God with a feeling that the pages of his own nature are being unfolded.

The discoverer of God is one whose moribund spirit has been quickened by faith; whose heart has: been purified by the remembrance of God; who proceeds by the light of God; whose heart trembles at the very mention of God's name; who receives God with tears and whose whole being surrendered unto Him.

Whoever is close to God is close to heaven. Closeness to God begins in this world and culminates in the next. A person who experiences closeness to God feels that he sees an unseen reality. He feels very close to the most distant of beings. He engages in conversation with one who does not seem to be present. He showers his affection on the most awesome of beings. He establishes direct contact with the One who cannot be approached through any intermediary.

                                                PARADISE- THE GREATEST OF GIFTS

Everything in space and on earth bows to God, but no natural act of prostration can compare to man's obeisance. Other creatures submit to God involuntarily. Man does so expressly, of his own free will.

Man submits to God consciously and independently. No action in the world can compare with man's submission.

Herein lies the actual value of man. Man is the only creature who is fully aware of his total helplessness in the face of God's omnipotence. He counts himself as nothing and God as everything. 'He renounces his own Ego in the face of divinity. He forsakes all power and surrenders totally to God. He controls his speech for God's sake as if he had no tongue of his own.

Becoming a true believer is the greatest thing that can happen in the world. The reward for such belief must be similarly great. Heaven is the name of that reward.

Paradise is not the price of one's actions: it is the gift of God. It is granted to those who offer God something which nothing else in the universe has offered. Accordingly, it is a gift that He has granted to no other creature. https://amzn.to/3MN1IlU
