THE VIDEO FILM OF YOUR LIFE
============================
It is said that when you die, you go to the Gates of Heaven where a Saint stands with a book in his hand, which has all your karmas or actions performed upon earth.
He asks you :"What qualifications do you have to be admitted into the Kingdom of God?"
============================
It is said that when you die, you go to the Gates of Heaven where a Saint stands with a book in his hand, which has all your karmas or actions performed upon earth.
He asks you :"What qualifications do you have to be admitted into the Kingdom of God?"
You say: "O I passed so many degrees. I bought so many houses and cars.
I produced children and they are well-settled, I left a large amount in
the bank etc.. etc.."
Saint: "These qualifications may have been good for you upon earth but they are not sufficient for you to seek entry into the Kingdom of God. So go and take another birth and try to improve yourself. Then after living out another life come back and tell me of your qualifications when you die again!"
You try to tell him of the "many " good things you did upon earth, like.. like.. feeding dogs and cats,, sometimes feeding the poor, sometimes doing social work..helping people in distress..not having any hatred or rancour towards anyone.."
And then the Saint shows you a Video Film of your life-- a video which contains not only your actions but also Your THOUGHTS, whatever you were thinking, at each and every moment of life.
You find your devotion to God was hollow. You prayed to him only because you wanted the things of the world, or because you were in suffering,
You did not help anyone when he was in trouble because you were "too busy" with your own life. You lived purely for the sake of enjoyment, "eat, drink and be merry".
You were ungrateful to God because you forgot him when your troubles were over.
You knew Death was certain in life, but you continued in your attachments to material possessions, wealth and honour.. until one day you simply collapsed with the sheer weight of your own desires and were pushed out of the earth by Death.
So remember that HE is watching. You cannot hide anything from HIM. He knows of the inner-most thoughts that come to your mind and His saints are making a Video film of You which includes your thoughts as well. And you will be confronted with your own video film when you try to enter into the Kingdom of God.
So better make a "selfie" video of yourself, as the time of life passes, and examine it each night before you go to sleep, see where you have gone wrong, and try to rectify your faults, before it is too late.
You may be gaining a lot in this world but losing everything in the Kingdom of God.
