After understanding the meaning of heaven... would anyone really desire going to the heaven-
Heaven is a place in the mighty Cosmos wherein the souls rest in peace until they get to manifest a body on Mother Earth. But there is one condition attached. Any soul can only go to Heaven provided there is a positive balance of karma in hand.
All souls with a negative balance of karma go to hell (aka Naraka in Hinduism).
For every soul (aka Atman in Hinduism) at any point of time there are three abodes available. Either manifest a body on Mother Earth provided matching womb is available (for any soul to manifest on Mother Earth the existence of matching parents is an essential must).
If the matching parents are not available on Mother Earth then it is imperative that the soul would have to rest either in Heaven or hell based on the balance of karma of the earlier manifestations.
And what is karma? Right from the first manifestation the closing balance of any life form is transferred to the next manifestation through the process of karma. It is only karma which keeps the system going. In absence of karma the complete existence of Cosmos would come to a halt.
Does this mean that the reincarnation and the rebirth theory are correct... yes, they are hundred percent correct. Every human being started his first journey as an amoeba (single cell formation), then evolved into insect life, animal life and finally gained the form of a human being.
In all these stages the system of Heaven and hell plays role only after one has manifested the form of a human being... the last in the chain of manifestations.
We need to remember here that it is not Heaven that one would want to go but it is the kingdom of God where Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed went.
Every enlightened soul rests finally in the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). A place of no return... none can enter the kingdom of God in bodily form. Only souls that have reached the stage of salvation (known as moksha in Hinduism) can enter the kingdom of God.
Starting from the stage of amoeba to reaching the stage of salvation... Announces the end of the journey of the soul! This is also the end goal of every human life. The materialistic oriented human beings who measure everything in terms of money in the present Kali Yuga (the metal age) consider Heaven to be place of enjoyment. And that to with no strings attached.
Our wanton desires and materialistic tendencies prompt us to go to Heaven. Above 99% people on Mother Earth would want to go to Heaven for they do not understand the true meaning of Heaven. Indulgence or no indulgence is for us to decide.
It is a chain of 8.4 million manifestations as a whole out of which 1.1 million manifestations are in human form alone. The total journey of the soul requires 96.4 million earthly years... a long journey indeed!

1)By loving God with all your heart, mind, and soul
2)By loving everyone else unconditionally as you love yourself
Jesus said all you need to do is these two things. Of course there a lot more things that fall under these two like the 10 commandments and such. In a nutshell these are the 2 greatest commandments to get you in Heaven.

Take a left at the Texaco station and head about 3 miles southeast. It's on your right.

Accept the free gift of the life of Jesus Christ.
He died for your sins.
All you have to do is realize it and let HIM come into your heart and be your co-pilot.
You don't have to do anything.
