How is this world, which is the visible realm, compared to life in the hereafter?

Dear Brother / Sister,

1.2.9-This World, Which is the Visible Realm, is Like a Veil over the Life of the Hereafter

This apparent material world life is not essential. It is like a veil over the life of the eternal and unseen hereafter. In other words, when we look carefully at the structures and conditions of the beings in the world, the existence of the hereafter is clearly seen behind this world life, which is like a veil.
