Today all the Blessed Families starting from the 36 Couples of the Unification Church have become accustomed to and influenced by the secular environment of this world. They say, "We have to make our sons and daughters study, otherwise they will not be successful in this world." But I don't think so. Though they say, "If they study they will be successful in life," it is wrong. What is precious is how much they love the nation and how much they love God. How much they know is not a precious thing. To have knowledge alone is no good.

God did not create us just in order to know something. The ideal of creation is not accomplished by knowledge. You have to clearly know that. The ideal of creation, our ideal, cannot be accomplished by knowledge, by power or by money. It is to be accomplished by love. You have to be well aware of this. (April 12, 1986)
