Does everyone, regardless if they are a man or a women, need children? (Yes) Why? To make the historical tradition continue. You must understand that since this is a fundamental rule, we follow it by getting married.

Love tends to shrink after two people have met and married. It is a fundamental rule that when something gets larger, then smaller, it shrinks. So how will it balance? The children grow bigger. You might not like your husband, but you love your sons and daughters, don't you? Yes, when children are born through parents' love and centering upon them, would they say, "I like only my mother?" They would say, "I love also my father." They would say, "Father! Father!" The reason we need spouses and children sons is to harmonize. Only with them does everything rotate centering upon parents. We are saying that by doing so we must go back to a place where our parents await. So this will lead to the conclusion that we definitely need children.

So, human love reaches its climax like this, and next it goes down. It will fall down. From here the children climb up through love. That is why we should have children. Do you understand? That is why this is plus and this is minus.

Else, we cannot say, "Let's go!" heading for plus, True Love. Also, if this doesn't exist here, we have no energy to say, "Let's slide down," looking at minus.

Suppose we love mother, but we love father more.... They would say, "We love father, so now let us go down and love mother!" So the children can be happy by holding both mother's and father's hand. Why can they be happy in that way? Because the fundamental rule of the universe is like that. (129-127)
