Your sons and daughters are important and necessary. But when you consider all aspects, you should not live thoughtlessly. You should live a life doing everything-breathing, walking, and praying-for the whole purpose. When you fulfill this you can go with the fortune of Heaven. All members of the Unification Church should realize this. You do everything that you want and ignore God's will. Do you think that is right? When you do the national and worldwide things with a thorough attitude, Heaven can be restored. Heaven isn't made in your life automatically. You have to build it on your own. (18-215) You sometimes show off your children to me, although they were born with my Blessing. It is the same in Western countries. You phone me from all over the countries, then say, "Father, please give a name to my son or daughter." You ask me to give names to your children. You call me again and again. You rascals! Are you so busy naming your children? You shouldn't do that. You should love your children after you are equipped with the qualifications to love the country. Aren't you supposed to love your children after you love God? God is the God of all countries, and He is the center of the universe. As a result, if you love him you gain the qualification to love Heaven and earth. You establish a condition in which you loved the country, the people, the tribe, the family and the individual. You love the bigger and if you qualify for it.... Do you understand? Well, is the father who kisses his baby on its lips allowed to do it? When you kiss your new born baby because it is cute, did you do so with God's approval? As a husband when you hold your wife and kiss and love her, have you received God's approval? If you didn't it's horrifying. Put the brakes on your hand and your lips. Stop! Emergency brakes! Screech! And you fall on your back with surprise. I am asking you, did you ever put on the brakes? (125-254) It is my responsibility, and also God's, to do this in order to save the world. Isn't it certain? [Yes.] When you think, "Why are True Parents doing that?" you should think at the same time that their responsibility is to digest the world but they haven't finished it yet. If you look at a chimpanzee in Africa they eat lice. (laugher) Fathers and mothers should be better than a chimpanzee. Do you understand? Fathers and mothers should do more than that. (129-151)
