What should be our path in life? Clearly, to possess God's love. Do you understand? (Yes.) To possess God's love is the most wonderful end. This is the path that both men and women must tread. Even monkeys and ants wish for this! Our course should be to search for the God of love, who is the infinite and only One-even if we must go through the valley of death ten or a hundred times. Even if we die, we should continue this course to find this love. It's the most wonderful path in life! What is the end point of our desire? It is possessing God's love. When we talk about possessing God, unless through it we possess love more precious than my own, God is not my God. That's why we must possess God's love. Indeed, if only we can possess this love, it is okay if God isn't there. When His love becomes mine and mine becomes His, the internal and the external become one for the first time. A nation based on this kind of love becomes an ideal homeland, where there is no class system of high and low. Do you understand? When we can lie in that place of love, there is nothing in existence that doesn't look wonderful. We would feel that there is nothing under the sun that does not exist for me. If this is God's love, then what is the heavenly world like, the Kingdom of Heaven to which mankind is meant to go? That is a place filled with love. (39:210)
