What is true love? When you marry, don't you want to get a spouse who is better than you are? Aren't you hoping that your sons and daughters will marry someone who is better than they are? This trait is similar to whose? Similar to God's! That means that Heavenly Father wishes for His partner and object of love to be better than Himself. We cannot deny this, can we?

As with our human father, can Heavenly Father, who is perfect, order his sons and daughters to absolutely do something if He Himself hasn't absolutely done it before? He cannot. Through this principle, He wishes for His object of love to be greater than He. Man can attain the highest value. If he does, his value can be higher than God's because it is centered on true love. Can you understand? Your mind desires the highest things. It is not inconceivable. Moreover, it would be equally possible for all human beings, if the Fall had not occurred.

Heavenly Father is watching this cosmos in the highest and noblest position of heaven, and He wants man to lead. He doesn't want to see human beings just obeying as if drawn around by the neck. Your mind is completely free. No one wants to be controlled. This is the same for everybody. Once you acquire the position of true love, as the treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven, you can go freely to the position of Heavenly Father. You can become Heavenly Father's friend!

Anyone who is united with true love can attain eternal life. This is logical. For the sake of love, Heavenly Father created us to be as eternal as He is. True love should be perpetual, shouldn't it? Therefore, to attain eternal life, we should live in the realm of true love.

Through true love, attaining eternal life is possible. Why? All aspirations from the very beginning, including the motivation and process of creation, can be perfected centered on love. Through this process, the result comes. Perfection in mind and body is possible if we belong to that original true love. The limitless origin, cause, process, and ideal result can be connected only by love. It's only through true love. Heavenly Father will exist eternally centered on true love. In order for Heavenly Father to exist forever, what should be the center?

Eternal life is connected with love, so the eternal environment should be a place centered on the influence of love. To live in the realm of substance, we have to be the substantial embodiment of love.
