What is man? He is the image of the universe: the microcosm. What is meant by "cosmos" and "microcosm"? The cause of the cosmos is the cause of all force. What is this cause? It is God. I retain the value of relative object of this cosmos as a microcosm standing in front of the cosmos as the force of love of the continuing cause of the cosmos is in my heart.

For this reason man is the flower of the cosmos. This is the way it is. Do you understand this? It is as if there is a big tree in the cosmos there. I am just a flower of that tree. It is spring time when a male and female blossom as flowers of the cosmos and with fragrant scent.

Man is not an isolated existence. What kind of being is he? He is not alone. Is it not man who becomes the end result of all common causes? There is enclosed in man every image of the creation. There is contained every characteristic of his ancestors.

A Mr. Kim is not alone. Is it not man who is the integration of many substances, of plants, animals, minerals, every form of creation. His face, though he feels it is his now, has gone through a tens-of-thousands-of-years history to be formed. Thousands of years have passed to form and bring into being this man inheriting his ancestors' blood. It is a miraculous reality. Moreover, he came to exist because there has been a heavenly connection tracked down in his background. In the heavenly context one should know that there were so many ups and downs for one's life to be born.
