Life, divine - you have to adapt to it, not merely aspire to it
Do those who say they aspire to live in heaven know what heaven is really like? They certainly do not. This is why they should prepare for it; otherwise when they arrive up there, they will say, 'But there are no cigarettes here, there's no pub, no night club... and I feel like a cigarette, I feel like a drink, I've got scores to settle with my enemies, I'd like to kiss some pretty women... I want to go back down.' To be able to live in the sublime regions, you mustn't have so many gross needs. And so, in spite of what we might imagine, not everybody is ready to live in heaven. Even if one day it were decided that humans should move en masse to the celestial regions, how many would be able to stay there? Aspiring to the divine life is not enough; you need to learn to adapt to it. So, as much as you can, try to draw closer to heaven by praying, meditating and mastering your lower tendencies, and maybe one day you will be ready to live permanently in the hallowed regions of the divine world.
