What kind of path do you want to take? You should take the path of loving God absolutely. If you love God absolutely, then can you simply throw away studying? Why do you study? Isn't love all that we need? Isn't there even a song that goes, "Would college make a man? Although he cannot even recognize the letter 'A,' he is good enough if he has love?" Then why do you study? Have you ever thought about this? You should know this. If you have God's love, you can be saved as an individual without having anything else. But you must also reach out to the multitude. Without an ability to teach the right way to the people, you will go in only one direction. In other words, although you may be qualified as a child of God, you cannot make the fallen people God's children. Do you understand this? You study because through this you can create many children of God like you. If I become the best scientist in the world, I can teach how to become God's child through science. So instead of being God's child alone, I should be able to make all who work in my specialized field the people God's children. Then, who would receive God's praise, the child who has made no impact in the world or the child who created many other children of God? Of course, God prefers a child who comes back to him after creating many like-minded children of God, rather than the child who comes back to God alone. So in going the way of love, we should work for results of both sides, and this is what is desired by God and I. So you have to study in order to perfect this way. This is why the ethics of how to treat mother and grandfather and the question of daily living become important. We have know how to be able to find the best method. So our Unification members should sacrifice everything for God and make the best efforts, thereby acquiring the highest ability in their fields of endeavor and creating many like-minded people. When you think you are studying in order to make humanity happy, is it wonderful or not? (Wonderful) (100-158)
