The wife of a saint needs to become a bad wife. Do you understand? You don't know why, do you? You have to understand the reason for this and then you will be able to understand history. Anyway, it's true. It's true. Do you think Mother is a great person? [Yes.] Mother is great because she restored everything through indemnity. (188-319) Let me talk about Mother for a minute. Mother gets up at dawn, and after pledge she has a cup of coffee. I told her it's not good for her. I told her that I had heard from a grandmother that someone who had drunk coffee for three months had had to have a stomach operation, and so I told her not to drink the coffee. What could she do? If she didn't drink the coffee she felt sleepy. She said the children could leave after pledge if they wanted to, but in her position how could she leave? So she had no other choice but to drink coffee in order to overcome her sleepiness. It is a pitiable position, isn't it? Other people could sleep with peace of mind. Even the men could sleep soundly even for twenty-four hours if they wanted, to but Mother wasn't able do that. It is quite pitiable, isn't it? (910-310) Mother worries about the children but I don't. It is because I have to love humankind before I love my children, and before I love humankind I have to love God. In a whole year I never worry about my children once, even in my dreams. I embrace mankind and protect the universe and God's love which is in the subject position. The children grow so rapidly. I don't interfere and just let them grow. That is how I have to be at this present time. (171-247) Before you stress your own importance and center everything on yourself, stress the whole. I need people who value the relationships of above and below. We need a complete restructuring. We have reached that stage now. In our family Mother has been trying to educate the children until now in these things. From that point of view Mother is even greater than I am. So I said to Mother, "Because you are in this position, the children are showing your internal side. So you take responsibility for the children's education." This is what I told Mother to do.
