Abstract

The importance of knowing afterlife and resurrection is in its effects on human’s way in physical life and achieving prosperity or adversity in future life. Flesh and spirit, the bases of human’s true nature, go through severe changes in an evolutionally trend. Being aware of physical and spiritual perceptions and moving toward perfection leads human to eternal life. This internal wisdom results in true prosperity and human perfection in heaven. Neglecting internal changes and spiritual perceptions and deviating from human path, however, leads to entrapment in physical world, the result of which is nothing but torments in hell. Knowing resurrection, in the manner Sanaei speaks of, results from searching internal states and being aware of secrets of universe.
