[God and Love] (10) — Love Is About Sharing — There is such a thing as reincarnation and the cycle of birth and death. Your time on Earth is not the be-all and end-all. Within this cycle, even if this life doesn’t go well, don’t create attachments or suffering—remember that there is a next life, a future existence. And in this life, do your very best to accomplish what can only be done in this life, learn from it, and return. “Don’t cling to things,”—to dispel people’s attachments, I am imparting the teachings of reincarnation and the cycle of birth and death. You must now, in a comprehensive sense, integrate the idea that “this is how it is because it’s Buddhism,” “this is how it is because it’s Shinto,” “this is how it is because it’s Christianity,” and “this is how it is because it’s Islam,” and learn the fundamental divine principles of the Earth. Through this fundamental divine truth of the Earth—and by learning the principles of love that permeate not only the Earth but the entire universe—you must turn away from actions that degrade your own souls, such as hurting one another, hating one another, and causing each other sorrow and suffering. Love is—I will say this again and again. Love is about sharing. Look at a mother’s love. Whether her child is smart or not, beautiful or ugly, athletically gifted or not, talented or not, she embraces them wholeheartedly, saying, “You’re so cute.” That is motherhood. God’s love is just like that. Therefore, God does not discriminate based on whether you are outstanding or not. In prayer, people often ask why God spares the wicked while those who strive as hard as He does suffer against their will. But from our perspective, it is precisely those called “villains”—those who cause others suffering—whom we hope will come to realize the truth. It is a feeling akin to that of a parent raising a child who struggles. Therefore, even those in hell, even those called “demons,” were likely, in their true nature, magnificent angels of light—children of God. As children of God, please return to our world once more. God grants you infinite time. We will wait for the day you return. We wait for the moment to welcome you back, without any judgment or reproach. In the midst of infinite forgiveness, we long to embrace them—not because they are children of God, but simply as friends who eagerly await the return of our companions to our world.
They just happen to be undergoing such hardships and spiritual training, and they, too, are our friends. They are our companions. We view them as those who join hands with us as children of God, as those who clasp hands together around a round table. We never think of them as inferior. That is precisely why we wait endlessly, praying and striving, eagerly anticipating the day we can welcome them when they finally come to realize the truth. That is who we are.
If we were to harbor any desire to judge them, they would become sinners in an instant. You, the people of Earth, are judging your own friends—and even your very surroundings—through the dualistic framework of “good and evil.” Love and forgiveness cannot exist within that framework. It is precisely because there is a path of spiritual practice in everything that we are able to grow and learn. Love means accepting the other person exactly as they are, praying, “Oh, I hope they will come to realize this someday,” and continuing to wait for the moment when they can join hands with us. That is what gives it meaning. This does not mean you should blindly welcome those who are hurting you right now. Simply pray that the time will come when you can join hands with them, and continue to fulfill your mission. There is no need to rush. When the time comes, you will surely be able to join hands with them. They, too, wanted to do their best. They simply couldn’t understand and became lost.
