Yes indeed this world is a school for mankind. A school where we learn the Will of the Maker of the school Who is also our Maker- the Almighty Father.
However, mankind lost it long ago! The goal of getting to know and do the Will of our Maker was neglected and instead we have spent all the time in chasing earthly goods, its pleasures, riches and fame.
All the admonitions of Prophets of old did not help. Our craze for material things was so much that even such sacred advise of helpers was misinterpreted to conform with our base desires, our vanity and our conceit. We became slaves to earthly desires and Messages from on High we simply fail to understand.
Even the Message of the Son of God.has up till now been misunderstood. Today, "exponents" of the Teachings of Christ have reduced it to a business that offers the followers all the comforts of this world, position and deliverance from enemies real and imagined! It is all about how we fare on earth. The Kingdom of Heaven is no longer the priority but the perks of earthly life form the basis of belief.
All of this leads man far and far away from the goal (to understand the Will of the Lord and to live by it). Achieving this would have been a blessing for man and lead him back to Paradise where he came from in the first place.
Our neglect of this noble goal and stubbornest has led us thus far and today there is failure everywhere. Instead of peace there is war all over, small and big; from full scale war to pockets of serial bombings. Instead of love, there is hatred and envy all over. Religions have turned to a system that promotes the acquisition of fame and fortune.Distrust abounds everywhere. Deceitful politicians take charge of affairs and common criminals take over the leadership of entire countries!
This failure is caused by the reliance of man on his brain which can only understand things of this earth since it is a part of the human flesh and can do no more than analyse earthly things. The brain cannot understand spiritual matters. At best it will drag it down to dust and make it serve the needs of the flesh. That is why even today mankind still fails.
THE WAY OUT:
The only way is to turn back and seek to understand the Will of the Almighty and live accordingly. How do we start? Let's have a strong decision to do only what is good, in thought, word and deed, pray to God for help and remain steadfast in all of these.If we live this way, miracles upon miracles will happen in our lives, we will become sound in body and soul and we will be really happy!
