"YOU MUST BE ENLIGHTENED NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!"

Kaisaa banaa hai dekhiye ye ittaffaake dosti
Duniyaa hai naa-paayedaar, shaidaa marde jaan nisaar
"What a strange instance of friendship is this!
This world is perishable, and man is dying for it!"
1. Every passing New Year tells us that the time of life is passing away. Yes, we are celebrating 2017, but there was a time when people were celebrating 1017 as well. What became of those 1000 years. And yes, there will come a time when people will be celebrating 3017 as well, -- where shall we be then?
2.We must try to understand the aim of human life and live in accordance with that aim before it it too late and the time allotted to us is over like a dream.
3.Who created this world? You? Or was it there, when you came into it? Yes, God created this world, there is no doubt about that. And He placed you into it-- why?
4. So that you could fritter around with the things of the perishable world until they came to an end or until your life ended?
In both cases what did you take from this world when you left it?
Nothing of the material world, not even your own body. Your status, your wealth, your near and dear ones, your paper degrees, your houses, your cars, in fact everything that you owned was left behind. So what did you take with you?
TIME PASSES AWAY, BUT THE RESULT OF THE ACTIONS THAT YOU PERFORMED IN THAT TIME, REMAIN FOREVER WITH YOU AND ARE THE ONLY EARNINGS THAT GO WITH YOU.
5. This world is a College. You have been sent into this College to learn something correctly and then to pass out from the College. You do not enter a College to stay in it but rather to leave it --with a Degree. But if you fail again and again, you are forced to enter the College again and again. Until the time you learn from your mistakes and then stop making them and finally pass out-- maybe soon if you learn quickly, maybe after ages, if you learn late.
6. God created this world for you. He wanted you to enjoy it, but not to make it the sole purpose of your existence, because when you leave, none of your material things will go with you-- and when you are asked in the next world: "What have you brought with you?"
You will stumble and say: "My house, my car, my wealth, my certificates and degrees of paper, my family my friends!"
7. You will be asked :"Where are they? And of what use are they here? Have you earned what you had to earn for this world to come after death? What claims do you have to enter the Kingdom of God?""
8. You will say: "Sorry! We had no time to think of the next world, we were so busy gathering the things of the material world!"
9. And the Being at the Gate will say: "Sorry you do not have the qualifications to enter into the Kingdom of God. Go back down upon earth and try to learn the aim of human life again!"
10. And the whole cycle will repeat itself endlessly.
11.Until a time comes when enlightenment dawns upon you that you had been sent into this world, to seek God and then to hold His hand, and then to live in this world in accordance with His wishes. That you had been sent into the world to alleviate the sorrows and miseries of others, to spread love and peace and righteousness and faith in God, in short to do only good and to shun all that was evil and unrighteous. That was the aim of human life. And those were the real earnings of human life.
12. God Himself would take care of your material needs, having given you the material world and a material human body in the first place.
In fact He would give you greater joy in this material world than you could ever extract from it yourself. And the greatest joy would be having God with yourself.
13. But sadly there are many who find God in the world, and then leave His hand for small things like their petty egos, and the petty things of the world. They place their desires over His Will and end up being miserable not only in this world but also in the world to come.
14. THEREFORE MAKE YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION FOR 2017 NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
AND LET THAT NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION BE:
"O LORD! COME THOU AND HOLD MY HAND! AND LEAD ME WHERESOEVER THOU WILL! I AM TOO WEAK TO HOLD THY HAND AND MAY LET IT GO AND FALL BACK AGAIN!"
"YOU MUST BE ENLIGHTENED NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!"
