Raising Children In God's Will (030) Chapter 1. True Family Section 3. The Family as the Training Center to Learn and Develop Heart (ShimJung)
3) The Family as the Textbook Where One Can Feel Universal Love - 2
Here, can we live without learning the love of the Universe? [No, we can't live] God gave you a textbook, the holy script and promised that you shall love your grandfather and grandmother, who had been sent to you on behalf of those grandfathers and grandmothers in the spiritual world.
In the same manner, if you absolutely love your father and mother, who stand for the other parents in the world, it makes the condition for you to love the rest of all parents. It applies to the case of men and women, and children in the same way.
So a family is the training center to teach people what love is and how to love people through the holy scripture. If these trainees answer 'yes' when they are asked to love other grandfathers and grandmothers as they are love their grandparents, then they can establish the conditions to save this world.
In loving people, you shouldn't discriminate among people just because they are black, Asian, poor or uneducated. You have to love people, whatever may they be like, just as you love your family members. That's the formula by which one is taught how to love. (130-273)
