Almost all the religions and civilization in the world has presented mankind with the concept of Heaven and Hell. This was present from the earliest existence of humans, or to the formation of the complex societies of today. This single point of belief was already there as if, we were made with that concept. One other thing predominant with this concept was that, these mythical places are very far far away from here, where no man can go alive.....
Hence we never sought it out. All we knew was that, if you perform good deeds, you will visit heaven, where all your desires will be granted. If you are bad in your life, you go to hell where unthinkable will happen with you....
A perfect carrot/stick guideline for every human to look up to and motivate him to perform good deeds. However there is a catch. "A good deed". What is this good deed? Sometimes a good deed is saving and sometimes it is destroying. An element of human judgment is involved in this.
Also conviently it is also described that "The Good" always wins... So irrespective of two sides, it is the good which wins, which implies, neither side is ever good or bad. It is result of action, which describes it as good or bad... Hence, no action, no person or no deed can be ever good or bad, until it is executed. Its reaction, will label it as good or bad.
So, even if we have a destination, we do not have a clear path. Adding to mayhem, is a simple fact, that none of us have any idea, where this destination lies. We were told from birth, that it exists and generic guidelines have been drawn to go there....
However, if one observe from the definitions defined over the period of time and look for the clues in the course of its mortal existence, we find striking similarities in the destination described and the place we habitat. What we seek our whole lives, lies in front of us all the time....
Yes, in a creepy way, it makes sense. This life, this place, the surrounding we live is the place where heaven or hell also resides.... It is carved out from out actions and its reaction.
You experience heaven, when you fulfill your desires. If that causes harm to others... its reaction will create hell for you.... In case it does not, it will enrich your heavenly experience..
Heaven is where life has value, respect and freedom with responsibilities.
Hell is where it is absent. It is the two sides of coin at same plane.
Birth, its place and time, plays an important role in how close to you are heaven or hell. This mystery is something, which does not make sense. However if we go beyond a lifespan, it appears that it may be decided by actions in some distant past. In my previous blog, I had mentioned that Life is a sequence of choice...
We create heaven from our desires and hell from our misendeavours. There is very less which you can do negate the effect of birth and birthplace. However there is definitely lot, which everyone can do to make heaven in this place and push it boundaries a little far than it exists today. So someone, who takes birth at the new place is never left out... Everyone has a chance.... Everyone can contribute to make this world a heaven.
