Raising Children In God's Will (015) Chapter 1. True Family Section 2. Formation of the True Family and Lineage
3) The Grandfather's Position is that of God - 1
The grandfather is the man who has love. When husband and wife, sons and daughters or grandchildren have words with each other, grandparents with heartfelt love dissuade them from fighting, saying, "Please don't do that any more," as if they were servants.
Thus they encourage their offspring, saying, "You are excellent, better than we are." You've got to know that the most serving person with love is the grandfather. When the wife grumbles for something, the husband says, "All right, honey, I will get you what you want."
Well, what is the conclusion? It is that the follower of love in a servant's position has the most surprising and greatest authority in the Universe. It is the philosophy of God, Rev. Moon and the Moonies. That's the conclusion. (135-122)
In an American family, the grandfather makes a phone call in advance before he visits his son's. Do you think it's a good thing? See, imagine there is a daughter-in-law who wants to give more to her grandparents than to her husband. How lovely she is! Then, she can inherit all things of love from her grandparents.
Well, who is the oldest grandfather in the world? [God] Right. (laughing) We learn how to love God through our love toward our physical grandfather. We can have all the lovely and secret treasures of God through this tradition. How wonderful it is! (107-329)
