6. Enraptured by True Love
What is the most sacred thing in the world? It is true love. True love begins with God. Since God exists, there can be no other way to happiness than the path of true love. God truly desires that we travel the path of true love, for without doing so we cannot come into the presence of God. We have to understand this point.
God wants to see, hear, eat and touch through love. As for human beings, if we were to receive God’s kiss of love, our joy would be so great that we would feel as though we might explode from the inside. To rejoice like this is God’s only desire. He is not the sort who rejoices to have diamonds or jewelry. (Blessed Family-380, 08/20/1986)
The human body has five senses. We feel and become aware of true love through the impressions of our five senses. If our eyes are directed toward true love, they take on the color of true love and are intoxicated by true love.
How beautifully those colorful, intoxicated eyes shine! Think about how enchanting our smiling lips would be. Try to imagine the intense beauty we would experience as our five senses, intoxicated in true love, moved in harmony toward God.
Yet when God is all alone, He cannot experience the joy of such beauty. God can experience joy only by perceiving beauty in a partner. It was for this purpose that God created human beings. How would God feel as He observed a handsome man and a beautiful woman absorbed in each other’s eyes intoxicated in true love, kissing with lips intoxicated in true love, their hearts singing the melody of true love?
If Eve had possessed such true love, God would have wanted to journey through every corner of her world of heart.
He would have desired to find out for Himself just how wide and how deep was the world of heart of this beautiful Eve. God would have wanted to dwell throughout both Adam’s and Eve’s world of heart, a world more beautiful than the heaven and earth that God Himself created. You can be sure that God much prefers to travel within the world of heart of a person of true love than to travel the length and breadth of the universe. Adam’s and Eve’s world of heart and true love was to be such that God would never want to leave.
What would have happened if, after God created human beings, He had plunged into their true love and lost Himself in that love? What kind of world would we have today? God would dwell in our midst. We would live in oneness with God, and create a world filled with joy and beauty. (Blessed Family-380, 08/20/1986)
God is completely responsive to human beings. If true love had been perfected in the human world, God would be living in our midst, totally enveloped by true love. He would have no second thoughts about it. God’s nature is such that He is completely happy with anything that happens within the realm of true love. Likewise, if human beings were living in this world of true love, their entire lives would be happy and free from regret. In such a world there would be no history of warfare, no grief, and no misfortune. (Blessed Family-380, 08/20/1986)
