If we ask how love was created in the world of human beings, we say, "The ancestors of human beings, Adam and Eve, were a couple, so love must have originated from husband and wife." This can be said about the world of human beings; but how is it about the relationship between man and his ideals? It cannot be other than the parent-child relationship. Isn't that true? If you seek love it would lead you to the parent-child relationship. So where does love start? It starts from the parents.

God created human beings. God did not create us to play around with. What did he create us for? As an absolute objective being before an ideal absolute being. This is a difficult concept.

The being that can be loved as an objective absolute being, a being that was designed to stand as an objective absolute being before the parents is the child. The child appears succeeding your life. Next, there is the issue of how much God loved us human beings.

How much did God love humankind? God is an everlasting subject of life; He can't help loving, investing all His life. It would sound strange to say He would love even for His precious life, but he cannot stop loving, investing all his love.

So if God were put in a position where He might die for His own child, what must He do? Should the Supreme Being give up so easily? Would He just walk off, or endure the test? Please answer. What should He do? The absolute God, who is the subject of love, at last found an absolute son; but if He was put in a position to die for him, would He say, "Oh, I hate to do this, I'll go away" or would He die instead of his son? (Die instead) For what? For us human beings. Human love originates from God's love. God would even die for us human beings. He would even go that far. Because of that, how much should we love God? We should love Him even more than our own bodies. (1971. 9.19 former headquarters)

Children growing up are a God, a living God. They are trying to connect to the love of a living God through their fathers and mothers. So if you cannot do the same job, you have no power to connect to True Love. Even I have such times. I give True Mother an explanation and advice in the position of a teacher.

My language and attitudes change at such times. But when the children come home, we must go back to the normal state. You must not let the children see their parents quarrel. Children without prudence fight all the time, but as they grow older they should learn naturally that they should not fight, and follow the tradition of their parents. (134-224)

The God of love has created a masterpiece called humankind, so would He leave it and go off somewhere to make and meet a new object? As these mothers here should know, when babies are born, not long after that they start to smile, don't they? They start to smile after 3 months or so. So if the baby smiles its first smile, a women even forgets to eat and she would surely announce it to her husband. Isn't that true? She would say joyfully, "Honey, our baby smiled."

That sort of thing you tell to someone closest to you. And after the husband has heard it, would he be happy or upset? (He would be happy) That's how it is.

The more God saw Adam and Eve the more He adored them, so how would He feel, happy or not? He must have been happy, right? Even if they stood still like a stone when God was angry, still God was happy with them. Even if Adam and Eve looked upset, still they gave God joy.

Having children is like that. When Adam and Eve cried, saying they hated everything, God still loved them. God would even dance around in joy. Why is that?.

If God puts some thing in their hands they would hold it tight, and seeing all this God will go crazy with delight. If some artist's sculpture receives the president's award, people gather around to see it displayed, don't they? Even a carved stone is made such fuss of by crowds, so if your work of art talks and even speaks of your own wish, you cannot go anywhere and leave it, can you? You would miss it, and how wonderful it seems.

Ladies, don't your babies seem so wonderful the more you look at them? If it doesn't seem wonderful, you are not doing your job as a mother. When a baby wakes from its sleep and cries for milk, would the mother rush to it feeling glad to see it, or feeling upset? She goes to the baby in contentment to see it. And then she opens her breast and plugs in the "hose of life" for her baby.

Isn't that so? When the baby drinks its mother's milk, does the mother feel glad or not? She feels satisfied. Even we humans are like this, so how would have God felt looking at Adam and Eve? God must have felt a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, a hundred million times happier than ordinary people raising children.

God loved Adam and Eve more than you can imagine. Did you know this or not? How much must have God love Adam and Eve if he loved them so dearly? If God laughs once, the whole universe laughs. When God dances, the whole universe dances. Must He not do so? Who would speak badly of Him? When the father feels bliss, looking at him would the son cry or be happy just like his father? (Feel happy) Therefore, the happier the father feels, so does his son, and dancing in joy would not be a problem at all.

When we look at it from this viewpoint, the conclusion is that there is no object for God other than human beings. Do you understand? He could not feel true happiness without human beings.

So that is why humans are the objective absolute being before the absolute being. That is the way it is.
