There Is Heaven, For Good Deeds and Hell For Sin,

I was always taught 
There is heaven, 
For good deeds;
And hell for sin, after death;
My doubt is, 
Do these really exist,
Outside earth?
None guided the route,
To arrive at destination,
Where I belong; 
But some sages preached,
"The earth is a stage,
A naked soul gets its dress,
To perform its role;
Each drama has both,
Negative and positive role;
No choice you have,
But to act you are fit for;
What you sow, so you reap;
You can't get, 
The role of positive,
When you are, 
Full of opposite thoughts;
Create energy of 
sufferings and pain";
More the pure souls on earth,
Lesser the space 
To tainted souls;
