5. THE REASON WE ARE BORN

How was I born from my parents? I was born through a connection of life. I was born through the joining of my parents, with the value of their life. Through what does life come? Life comes through love. For what do life and love come? They come in order to complete the purpose of the universe. I am born in order to achieve a certain purpose. Either as a man or woman, I was born through the joining of life in order to perfect myself as a contributor to the universal purpose. (110-72)

Why are human beings born? If it is for the sake of being a president, it is quite a miserable purpose. If someone says that I was born in order to be the leader of the Unification Church and speak out, I don't like that. Why am I making so much noise and commotion like this when people are resisting me, saying that I am wreaking havoc? It is for no other reason than to find the true love of God. (121-101)

Why are we born? (For love.) What kind of love? (God's love.) Hmmm. God's love. It is love such that when we go, and bang here, then it connects to God and goes bang on God's head. Just as when you throw something in a pond concentric circles form, if you throw love in the universe it will create ripples throughout the whole universe. The question is whether you throw mere sand or throw a big rock. (103-254)
