1) Love that can Bring Harmony to Everything What is the one thing that God desires the most? What is the most central thing in God's opinion? Of course there must be considerations for all the things that connect everything in high and low positions; but among them, what is the thing that can fundamentally link everything together intimately? What is the thing that likes both the high and the low-what is it that the east, west, south, and north as well as the center and the four directions like, and what is the thing that can bring harmony and unity centering on God's ideals and good and lofty thoughts? That is neither God himself, the environment created by God, nor the thought of God. This cannot be realized only by thinking. Then what is needed? What is the thing that can link up the high and the low? What God needs is love. This is how it will be. Only by centering on love can front, back, left, right, up, down. East, west, south, north, and all at the center be harmonized and be connected; it can never be done without love. Love has the inner potential to link with the whole. It is needed in the east as well as in the west, and no matter how far to the end one travels, love is needed. Attempting to go to the end is in order to seek after higher love and when one returns to the inside from the extremities, it is also to pursue more powerful love. You have to seek after either great love or powerful love. You have to have some internal content such as this. When one goes far away, one seeks after something great, and when one returns to the center, one seeks for something powerful. Then, if something is powerful, is it powerful in a flat manner, in a sharp pointed manner, or in a round manner? With these considerations, when one returns to the inside, then one needs a powerful love that can draw a circular line. Therefore, we can decide upon such a concept of great and powerful love. If you like love, then it won't do if you just had love with great amplitude. Powerful love-how powerful must it be? It should be love that can harmonize everything and can freely connect everything fundamentally. If God thought about it, this is probably what he would have thought of. (164069) Have you ever made tofu before? Do you know how tofu is made? If you take the bean powder, before you put it in the cloth wrap if you place salt water in it, then doesn't it coagulate? It will coagulate. Similarly, love will congeal everything. For this reason, a woman becomes a true woman by giving birth to a baby. She needs to experience the heart of a mother. (165-103)
