Man is not born by man's own will. One's birth, one's sex and one's looks are not custom designed by one's parents. One is not born at the demand of one's parents. When you dig into the origin of our existence, centering on the providence of God, no other view is possible but that we were sent to this earth as the living entity who would take responsibility relating to the providence of history, centering on the origin. When you come to think that we are involved in a relationship with the providential will of God and the historical expertise of God, we should not remain in the current state of reality. We should feel certain of this history and that we must be the real being to carry out this providence of God. Therefore, no matter how tiny our individual beings might be, we are not destined to remain as individual beings. (34-155) Humans were not born consciously wishing to be born. Before their consciousness, the power of God brought about their birth. Development does not result from man's consciousness. The worthwhile and valuable formation of a person begins when he forgets about himself and when he pledges the results of the intention prior to consciousness. In other words, a person's chance to improve is based on the foundation of knowing God's motivation, which existed before one's consciousness. (36-103) Where is the origin of man, his birth and self-assertion? Is it democracy? Democracy flows away. Where do you find the origin of asserting man in front of the principles of the grand universe? Those people who assert themselves, resultant beings, without the knowledge of their cause, are out of their minds. (83-191) Once you are born, you have to live and then die. From the beginning you are born without proclamation, and you live without it. If man was born with something of value, he should live a life of value and then die. You ought to live such a life. Since I have come from a solemn place, I have to live in a solemn place and then die in a solemn place. It is not because someone made me do so. We should start from a natural relationship and go the path of a natural relationship. However, since we were born unnaturally and we live in an unnatural place, should we to an unnatural place? Would it be fine to live that way and then die? No! (12-10)
