Establishing a sound relationship with a long, great past and a long, better future depends on your having a proper understanding of your heart''s and soul''s vitality. The fortunate ones live at this level and fully understand this life. They see the past as our ancestors'' great tents and thrones, the future as roads leading toward the gardens of Paradise, and, while sipping inspiration from their inner conscience as if from the fountain of Kawthar, (1) they pass on from the guesthouse of this world. But the unfortunate ones, those who cannot reach such level of understanding and endeavor, lead lives that are worse than death, and their deaths are a hell of darkness upon darkness.
