1. RELIGION IS THE MEANS OF ESTABLISHING A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ABSOLUTE BEING What does religion do? It has the mission to connect with God and to connect with God's essence and mission. (89-171) Humankind cannot be satisfied with the things of this world. We can obtain the highest happiness and be endowed with the highest value only in the place where we are serving the Absolute Being who can melt heaven and earth. It is for this that humankind is going its way today and tomorrow. Religion is to establish an internal relationship with this Absolute Being. Religion carries out the providence internally, not externally. The external is dominated by evil and the internal is dominated by good. We must realize a world of goodness-centered ideology. The ideology of goodness is made through internal reflection. The pursuit of religion is to seek completely the internal aspect, to seek and find the world of ideology, and finally to find the Creator and attend Him eternally, and to live together with Him in joy. (11-85) Today if we dig into the original source of religion, we see that it is God Himself. It is God who is in the subject position of that world of heart. But if we do not know what kind of situation God is in, or how God realizes His will, then what difference does it make if God's will is realized? It doesn't matter. (85-234)
