I was sitting in a broken plastic chair on a rooftop in Lahore. The monsoon clouds were heavy and grey. The electricity had gone out (as it always does). There was no AC, no WiFi, no 5-star view.

Jannat is not the destination after death. Jannat is the state of being where you recognize the Divine in the ordinary. It is the ability to see the magic in the mess.

So, go ahead. Book the trip. See the mountains. Swim in the ocean. But don't do it because you think Paradise is over there .

Do it because you want to bring the Paradise inside you out into the world.

(Isn't this just as good as Heaven?)
