Equality in Heaven

Equality is totally different when understood in it's true sense.

And so it was one day that heaven came to a man in his vision.As he entered heaven,he would've expected only good to be there,but he was wrong.So he pushed the rusty gate and entered what seemed a farmland.Now there were two farms,one on either side.On the left, he saw a farm with scanty plantations and scarce vegetation and on the right,he saw long wheat palms glowing in the morning sun.He then entered what seemed a forestland.On one side he saw nasty and dangerous animals like snakes and reptiles and other creatures which were not pleasing to his eyes.On the other side,he saw leopards and sheep,goats and colourful birds.He then wondered was this really heaven?,if it was then why this disparity?.Then a man with a halo and wings came to him and said” Hi, I'm an angel,I'll show you around in heaven.”.Then the man asked him about the field and the angel said “Oh! There are those here that can't sow too much and there are also those who sow too much”.But the man said”How can that be?How can one sow and the other can't?”.

The angel said “Come with me”.He took the man to a barren land and asked the man to put his hand on the right side and he felt it and it was cold.Then he asked the man to put his hand to the left and he felt it and it was hot”.Then the angel spoke”During summer there are those who can sow and during winter they reap.There are also those who can sow during winter and during summer they reap.”Then the man asked him about the forest land and why the creatures were different on either side.So the angel said “It is the order of things here that good creatures live on one side for some time and on the other side for some time,but the time allotted to them on both sides is the same”. Then the angel and the man were walking towards the end of the forestland when the man saw a strange spectacle. On one side where the ugly creatures lived,he saw people laughing and jostling, and on the side the good creatures lived,he saw people crying and frowning.

“What's the meaning of all this” he asked the angel.The angel replied “Well, you know,where the dangerous creatures live, people are happy because they know a good time is to come.But where the good creatures are present,the people know that a bad time is to come”.The man was visibly shaken by what he perceived to be inequality in heaven.So he asked the angel,”So do I take it that there is no equality in heaven?”.The angel replied “ Heaven does not offer equality”.The man's face saddened further.Then the angel said to him again “ There is no equality here,because nothing is greater here than god's abounding love.The angel then said the table in heaven is very different than the table on earth.In the table on earth,the rich goble away most and throw the crumbs to the poor.But in the table in heaven,when the rich sit to eat, the poor sit besides them and demand a share in their inheritance.On earth,the poor can have no share as long as the rich takes it wrongfully and in the name of equality he says that he has taken it rightfully.
