TIME IS UP
TIME IS UP
Examination of Life
STUDENTS were taking an exam in a school. They were bent over their desks answering their question papers. Finally, the time fixed for the exam was over. Immediately the invigilator present in the room announced, ‘Stop writing. Time is up.’
The larger case of life is the same as what happens in the examination hall. Every man or woman is in a big hall taking their respective exams. Everyone has a fixed time. The moment this time is over God’s angel comes and announces in silent language that ‘Your time of action has come to an end. Now you have to die and appear before your Creator and Lord to account for your actions.’
The larger case of life is the same as
what happens in the examination hall.
From the experience of sitting in an examination hall students can understand the matter of life's test in a larger sense. Life is a state of trial, and death is a means of sending man to the next world where he will reap the reward for his actions. The life before death is, in actual fact, a testing period and life after death is the period when the results will come out. One who leads his life wisely in this period of testing will have a better result in the next stage of his life. Those who are ignorant of these facts will experience nothing in this next stage, but remorse and frustration. The attitude of the student in the examination hall should be adopted by us throughout our lives. Everyone has to make efforts to answer the test paper given by God correctly so that when the time of the exam is over and his result is out, glad tidings of success will be in store for him rather than an announcement of failure.
Old is Gold
The previous generation bequeaths its wisdom to the
new generation. In this way the older generation enables
the coming generation to refrain from committing the
mistakes which earlier people made.
