How and when will God differentiate a devotee and a worldly person?

[Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: Swami, worldly people often considered devotees of God as mad and devotees consider worldly people as mad. As long as a soul is alive on earth, that soul is seen as mad if it's either a devotee of God or a worldly person (who is running after money, family and fame). How and when will God differentiate the both?]

Swami Replied:- Both will realise the difference by themselves after death. If X mocked the devotee Y as mad and if Y mocked X as mad, both will get visions of both by the will of God after their death. Y will see X suffering in the hell and X will see Y enjoying in the abode of God. However, up to the basic needs of Pravrutti, even Y shall be careful of the worldly life. Otherwise, on the earth, X will see Y also suffering and Y will see X also enjoying. Excess of Pravrutti is not good, but, minimum Pravrutti is essential. Excess of Nivrutti is always good either in the life or after death. But, excess of Nivrutti does not mean neglecting even minimum Pravrutti.
