How to Gain Eternal Life

Most of us have become so busy in working hard to fulfil our materialistic desires that we have forgotten the ultimate truth of life, which is that we are not going to remain in this world forever. God clearly tells us in his books that every living being in the universe has to taste death sometime. It is said that the eternal life is going to start after death, but the question is, have we done enough preparation for that life? Most of us are in such a massive debt of sins that we owe to God and those around us, that we are not able to find the solution. However, there is no need to lose hope, and all we need to do is correct our paths from this moment onwards.
