Missing the Chance of Divine Encounter

"A person who has not visited the Lord in this world cannot visit the Lord in the hereafter unless he is blessed [in a special way].

In Dunya, he had eyes, hands, feet, ears, and a heart. He could have let God's love flow in his heart, and drink from those heavenly wines but he didn't allow that. Now that he doesn't have these faculties, he cannot visit God.

He is like a carpenter who could have used the tools at his disposal to make a good table but he didn't. Now that his tools have been confiscated, how can he do that?"

Allama Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Husayni Tihrani (ra)
