“Don't search for heaven and hell in the future. Both are now present. Wherever you are is heaven and hell at the same time.”

Simplified Meaning:

Heaven and hell aren't far-off places you go to after you die; they are part of your daily life right now. When you're happy, healthy, and surrounded by loved ones, it feels like heaven. But when you're sad, stressed, or facing tough times, it feels like you're living in hell. These emotions and experiences can change quickly, even within the same day. Think about a person who wakes up feeling great, enjoying breakfast with their family. This moment might feel like heaven to them. But later, if they face a problem at work or have an argument with a friend, the day can quickly turn sour, feeling like hell. This shows that our feelings of happiness (heaven) and sadness (hell) are always around us, influenced by our actions and surroundings. To make the most of this idea, focus on finding the good (heaven) in each moment, even when things are tough. Appreciate small joys and stay positive, so your life feels more like heaven each day.
