The Importance of Heaven for Inner Peace
Heaven means that place and that time where the mind gets peace, the mind does not get tension. Everyone needs heaven for themselves every day. Everyone needs heaven for himself every hour. Wanting heaven means wanting peace. Peace is needed means everything should be according to his mind. Being according to the mind gives short-term happiness.

The Insatiable Nature of the Mind
The mind is a very hungry devil which is never satisfied. Dissatisfaction is the nature of the mind. Even if the mind is left in heaven, it will not be satisfied. Give him all the happiness, joy, and wealth of the world, he will be happy only for a while. It is impossible to make the mind happy permanently.
Understanding the Mind’s Need for Happiness

The mind wants one and only one thing and that is happiness. The mind needs happiness every moment. Only good deeds produce happiness in the mind. To keep the mind engaged in some good work is to build heaven. Those who want to build heaven should take measures to create happiness.
Good Deeds and Avoiding Painful Work
To do painful work means to push yourself into hell. Avoid doing work that causes pain to the body. Do not repeat again and again the actions and thoughts that disturb the mind. Do not say things that hurt the honor of others. The very name of sorrow is hell. Heaven cannot come in hellish life.
Collecting Small Joys and Properly Using Time
If we really want happiness, then we should spend our time collecting small joys. To enter the kingdom of heaven, you have to make a collection of things that give you happiness. For this, we have to learn to use time properly. Time, happiness, mind, peace, and good use, all these are the ingredients to create heaven. It is only from these that heaven is created.
