The Chinvat Bridge: The Road to Paradise

How the Lies You Keep in Your Mind Weigh You Down and Prevent You from Entering the Light of Paradise

The Bridge That Determines Your Fate

The Chinvat Bridge (Činvat Peretu), in Zoroastrianism, is the final test of the soul. It expands for the righteous and narrows for the wicked, causing those weighed down by falsehood to fall into darkness.

This concept appears across Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and mystical traditions:

• In Christianity, the “narrow path” leads to life, while the broad road leads to destruction.
• In Islam, the Sirat Bridge determines one’s eternal fate.
• In Kabbalah, spiritual weight prevents the soul from ascending.

If your mind is filled with truth, you are light enough to cross. If your mind is filled with lies, you fall.
