WHAT IS HEAVEN?

by M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with him)

What is heaven? Heaven is what we take with us. What is goodness? Goodness is what we take with us. For every small act of goodness that we take with us, one thousand or even ten thousand beautiful things will be spread out before us there. A single good act is made into so many thousands of acts of goodness . . . Heaven is the place where all our good actions and good thoughts have been multiplied thousands and tens of thousands of times and reserved for us.
