Earth should meet Hell but never Heaven
I have often heard great people dreaming about a culture of Heaven on Earth. Before commenting on their dream, let me place before you a comment of one of the Greatest Monks, the world have ever seen, about Heaven. Swami Vivekananda is his name. He commented greatly that, Heaven is just a lusty concept of our semiconscious mind and its totally a relative one to our condition of mind, i.e. a Smoker's Paradise is a field full of tobacco; a Drunker's Paradise is a pond of wine; a family-man's Paradise is his imagination of his/her ever-continuing family-status; an opposite-gender-crazy human's Paradise is a land having oneself as the only one of opposite gender and numerous other of the other gender, a money-mad's paradise is an ocean filled with Dollars instead of water and so-on . So, according to Swamiji, Heaven is a lustrous thought of Human mind, which is nothing but the extension of the sense of belongingness to the earthly affections, that the person is belonging now. But, these, we may say to be the raw reality. So, it is of no use for us as we were talking about dreams and not reality. What do the great persons dream about, when they pull down the culture of Heaven to be reigning on earth? That's nothing else but an evenly distributed wave of justice, love and affection, i.e. the same direction of society for all, love all beings and creatures (however a tilt towards the loved ones are allowed, by them). But, in dream also, if we be practical, is it possible for the society to direct everyone evenly, irrespective of the being's maturity of thinking and living!
