1. To Take After God

We must solidly know the value that human beings had originally. Originally, God will come into our minds and become the center of it, and we will become His embodiment, making an internal-external relationship. So even if man stands in a position akin to God, God has created the universe and has the ability of creation, so man would want that ability too.

In order to own God's ability of creation, man must resemble God. If you look at Genesis, Chapter 1, verse 27: "God created in His form." In other words, "God created human beings in His own form, a man and woman...." So when you look at this inductively, you think that God is made up of one man and woman. God is the original being, so the resultant being must resemble its root. That is why any kind of seed has two pieces covered up with one skin. Beans look like that. They resemble God's form. If you sow the bean, two leaves will come out and step into a new stage.

Since God creates with the two natures in Himself, we humans also have to stand in a position where we can create such masterpieces through a position where man and woman vertically unite and, centered on love, have children. We are talking about creating children. God granted us the ability of creation and at the same time God gave us the love of children to let us experience the joy God felt through creating the universe.

That is why love does not exist without parents, without an object or without children. So only a person who has completely received such love can stand before God, who is the subject of love. Since this is the fundamental rule and heavenly rule, in order to pass this exam, you must have these qualifications.

Without having these qualifications, the universe would not accept you and you will be dismissed from this world of existence, you will taste pain and sorrow. You must understand that God's love is not only the greatest thing a human being can hope for, but also it is the original homeland and origin of happiness. (54-24)

When you have eaten breakfast and when in good spirits you call your child, who represents the world, and when you hold and love him, you must love him with the idea that you have found a child who represents the whole world. You must consider it that way.

Even now I do the same. When I go somewhere, I hug and kiss the children I see. That became part of my daily practice. Also when my children greet their father in the morning, they kiss their dad. When they go somewhere they will tell me, and whenever something nice happens they will come to me.... You should develop that kind of thought. If you do so, God will watch you in joy.

You must raise your children for God and the world. Your sons must go that path. Did you have children only for the sake of yourself? It is for the sake of God. What is the reason we raise children? It is for the sake of the world. (47-170)

Why does a couple need children? God's love is substantiated in three stages, but without children it will not be three stages. This is the fundamental rule and principle. Can you understand this? So under these rules, a father standing before his son represents God. Because the father is the substance representing God's internal and masculine aspect, he becomes a God of sons and daughters. The mother also must become a God to her children. (173-207)
