Beyond Heaven and Hell: A Perspective Rooted in Reality
For centuries, religions have described concepts like Swarga (Heaven), Jannat (Paradise), and Naraka (Hell) as realms where divine beings reside and where souls ascend or descend based on their deeds. These descriptions create a structured belief system—one that gives hope, instills morality, and offers consequences for actions.
But what if we look beyond religious narratives and examine these ideas with rational thought?
Where Is Heaven, Hell, or Paradise?
Hinduism says Swarga is in the sky and Naraka beneath the earth.
Islam describes Jannat as existing above, where Allah resides.
Christianity speaks of Heaven as God’s kingdom.
Yet, despite these beliefs, no one has ever pinpointed their exact location.
Many assume that human life is confined to Earth, while gods inhabit celestial domains—perhaps other planets or distant realms.
However, when we observe reality, we see that Earth itself is suspended in space, just as every other planet and star.
If one were to stand on the Moon or Mars and look toward Earth, they would see it floating in space, just as we see other celestial bodies from our vantage point.
A Universal Perspective
As science teaches, every planet follows its orbital path, revolving around its star. Earth rotates on its axis every 24 hours, which causes our view of the sky to shift between day and night.
This means that Earth is surrounded by space in all directions.
The same direction people believe holds "Hell" during the day is the same direction we gaze upon at night, yet we never notice this contradiction.
Concepts like “up” and “down” are human-made illusions.
In reality, the universe has no definite beginning or end—no fixed coordinates that separate Heaven from Earth.
If Swarga, Jannat, and Heaven were real places, they would have identifiable locations.
But they are not physical spaces—they are metaphors designed to guide people morally and spiritually.
The True Paradise—Life Itself
Instead of longing for an imaginary Heaven, recognizing the value of life itself is the key to true fulfillment.
Earth is the most tangible paradise—where we experience love, beauty, and the wonders of existence.
Likewise, Hell exists in suffering—when injustice prevails, when greed corrupts, and when humanity loses its sense of purpose.
We do not need to wait for death to find Heaven or Hell—our actions determine them in the world we live in.
If we embrace compassion, wisdom, and kindness, we create our own paradise.
If we indulge in hatred, selfishness, and cruelty, we imprison ourselves in hellish conditions. Thus, the choice is ours—to live wisely and make Earth a true Heaven or to remain trapped in illusions that distract from reality.
