Therefore, the longer it lasts and the more it is given and received, the stronger and the greater his love becomes, and it will not be consumed.
An ideal doesn't end only as happiness but also expands to become an unlimited happiness. This is our ideal nation and God's nation. Do you understand? (Yes.)
Then, do you desire the eternal life, or not? (We desire it.) Man desires eternal life even vaguely. If you have some precious possession, will you bring it with you when you try to escape from any kind of danger, or not? (We will bring it.) Do you want to be proud of it, or not? (We want to be proud.) After you are proud of it for one or two days, will you stop being proud of it, or not? (No.) When you are about to die, will you want to leave it to your descendants, or not? (We want to leave it.) You want to leave it to them eternally.
God is an eternal, absolute being; His object whom He loves should live eternally. Therefore, man has desired an eternal life since long, long ago.
Therefore, absolute God couldn't help looking for a loving son and daughter who have the value of eternal life. (39-42)
We human beings resemble God as God's creative masterpiece. Because we have to have an eternal nature as God is eternal, our heart doesn't become old. Do you understand?
Therefore, man should live eternally. As man lives eternally, he can have value as a masterpiece. Therefore, man is the lord of all creation. Here comes spirit. (He writes on the blackboard.) What is it? It is God's spirit. It is spiritual.
Man has to live eternally. Therefore, we can't think that everything is finished after we live 70 or 80 years. What shall we do? It must be so easy to be able to think "What is left when I am dying after I erase whatever I have done? I should fly away into the air." (159:281) |
