Parents hold a bond of love with their children throughout their whole life and have hope in their hearts even if they have shed tears and blood and their appearance might be miserable.

Even if there are difficulties, they have the power to step over it and overcome. Isn't that so? [Yes, that's right] It is right. (175-209)

So, whether you perish or not, the position you can take is one of responsibility, rising above the conditions of prosperity or perishing. Where is this class of love in human society, where you can remain, taking responsibility and rising above the problems of life and death? Where is that starting point? It is not in the love between a man and a woman, nor in the love between brothers. It is not love for the nation, not for the world. When we seek for it, we will know that it cannot but be in the parents' love for children. This is the answer.

When we look at the question of love, that love is the origin. We cannot ignore it in our human society. The emotions of human beings are centered on the side of feelings, but the starting point is from there.

If so, is that starting point absolute? This is the problem. How were we born? We consist of men and women of God. So the sons and daughters were born of the love of these men and women.

If so, where this love came from would be the problem. Isn't that so? Mother and father are a man and a woman, and under their love, in an object relationship, sons and daughters were born. Centering on those sons and daughters, the relationship between parents and children is formed. If this love is stronger than the love between a husband and wife, then we must affirm dialectical logic. We must affirm the theory of evolution.

Children are born when the love of a man and a woman comes together, but if that result has a stronger power wouldn't that be the subject? Which is the subject? If the children have stronger love, would the parents be pulled towards them, or if not, will the parents pull the children from a subject position? When we look at it, there cannot exist a stronger and more principled love than love between a man and a woman. (48-153)

When parents say, "It is all because my love was not enough. It all happened because I could not love you more," shedding tears until the child's bone melts and stands before him with greater love, will that child come back or not? He will come back. The greater love has power to digest and unify weaker love. Does it not? [It does] (48-182)

The heart of parents loving their children is beautiful. When they give children small pieces of food, forgetting about their own hunger, the whole universe bows before that love. The whole universe cooperates with those sons and daughters.

Heaven and earth bows before them. People think that the children prosper because their parents have ability, but it is because there is this public morality and the love of the parents, and because that cannot be ignored, that the descendants prosper from time to time. It is not because the parents had ability. It is because Heaven and earth bow before the love for the sake of children. Even God has to bow. (148-328)

Parents will never lose by loving their children. They cannot lose. The universe will protect them. You have to know this. The place where loving parents embrace their loving children, feeling joy, can receive no attack under universal law. There can be no such attack, and the universe will offer protection. You didn't know this. (130-151)
