Love Comes From The Spouse
Love cannot be realized alone. Where does love come from? It comes from an object. Because love comes from an object, I must lower my head and live for the sake of the object. The heavenly law, "Live for the sake of others," comes from here. The most precious philosophy is "to live for others."
Love is something even God cannot realize alone. Love can always be realized through a reciprocal base. Where does love begin? It does not begin from myself, but grows up from my spouse.
Human beings have love. However, love does not appear when a person is alone. When man is alone, love does not appear. When a woman stands in a reciprocal position, then love appears. When a partner in a reciprocal position appears, then love appears for the fist time.
When we say that parent's love and husband and wife's love is wonderful, we absolutely are not talking about love centered on oneself. Love is not what starts from myself, but is what starts from my partner in a reciprocal position. Everyone must know this point. Love is what appears from a husband or a wife, and love is what starts from sons and daughters, brothers and sisters. Love is not what starts from myself alone; it starts from my partner in a reciprocal position. Then, who is the master of love? The partner in the reciprocal position becomes the master of love.
Where does love appear? It appears from a partner in a reciprocal position If the spouse is not handsome and if you hate that spouse, love would try to retreat. If the spouse is beautiful and if you like that spouse, the effect of love becomes that much brighter. The effect of love is determined according to the speaking, beauty, smell, taste, etc., of the spouse.
Love can never be felt alone. Happiness is the same as well. Peace is also not what we talk about regarding just one country. It is formed from a reciprocal relationship between two or more countries.
Happiness is also the same. Can we feel happy alone? We can feel true happiness only when we have an equal reciprocal relationship with a partner and when we love each other.
Freedom is also the same. True freedom cannot be realized alone. True freedom is what can be gained within love, together with love. Only within love can eternal freedom blossom. Within true love, even if you try to dictate using force, it would not be felt to be a restriction, but as deep happiness and joy.
Where is the base of love? The base of love is not myself. The noun "love" is used reciprocally. No matter how handsome a person is, he cannot have love without a partner. The base of love is not myself. Until now Satan has been saying "Love is for myself." We think that the base of love is myself, but until we correct this completely we cannot change history.
Until now, wives have been saying that they are the center, and husbands have been saying that they are the center. Each has been expecting to be served, causing destruction. The base of love is not where I am -- it is where my partner is; therefore, in order to find love, I must be sacrificed before love. Love always requires sacrifice, and it also requires submission.
In this respect, the contents that can subjugate this satanic world cannot be found anywhere else in heaven and earth. It can only be found through the God-centered Principle of love; therefore, God is always strongly holding on to love. In this world, the word "compassion" does not appear without love either. The word "benevolence" also will not exist without two people. The words "compassion" and "benevolence" are both words used in a reciprocal context.
