10 sec reading: After the Deluge

by Paulo Coelho on October 23, 2011

EN ESPANOL AQUI >>> Despues del diluvio
______________________

At the end of the forty days of deluge, Noah came out of the ark. He was filled with hope, but all he found outside was death and destruction.

Noah protested:

“Almighty God, if You knew the future, why did You create man? Just for the pleasure of punishing him?”

A triple perfume rose up into the sky: incense, the perfume of Noah’s tears, and the aroma of his actions. Then God replied:

“The prayers of a just man are always heard. I will tell you why I did this: so that you will understand your work.
“You and your descendents will always be rebuilding a world which came from nothing – and in this way we share the work and the consequences.
“Now we are all responsible.”

Seeing and observing a hand from nature destroying and scattering whatever man built with passage of time and endurance is simply mean that man should feel the God and man should get properly realized that bearing endurance, no body can develop such a huge infrastructure in this universe or universes apart from our knowledge.

Man builds, he can see destruction and man can rebuild, but all that takes is endurance to seek something.

Destruction is an ultimate message from our Lord Almighty Allah that he puts man into endurance and put him onto a track where his subject “man” get realizations of God’s existence.

Then another message is that the life man leads here is just subject to perish with all its pleasures and endurance. It is possible, man’s conduct make it more pleasureful or more miserable. All that man does is subject to get-through a justice system where he will be judged to be deserving the way he deserves by a just authority.

I will forevermore wonder about so many things, many of the Bible stories seems so unreal, they do have a lot of application in real life.
