Many religions focus on attaining heaven after death. Why do the teachings in the Sai Satcharitra suggest that life on earth is more important?

📖 Chapter 37

The teachings presented in Chapter 37 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra argue that the earth-world is of profound importance, even more so than heavenly realms. The text reasons that one falls from heaven after their accumulated merit is exhausted, making it a temporary state. In contrast, life on earth, though fleeting, offers a unique opportunity for spiritual attainment. The chapter states that a person who offers every action performed in a moment to God can attain a permanent place of fearlessness. This highlights the value of devotion and selfless action in our current lives over striving for a temporary abode of sensual pleasure that lacks the constant remembrance of God and the Guru.
