Please Let All Of Our Emotions Long For Things Of Original Nature

It is a regrettable fact
that our eyes have not been able
to see you.

It is a regrettable fact
that our ears have not been able
to hear your holy voice of love.

It is grievous
that our noses have not been able
to smell all the fragrances
wafting about in the garden of flowers
and the fragrance of your love
in Eden without sin.

Our mouths are grieved
that they could not eat
the things of creation
in your good and holy garden of liberation,
rather than the things of creation
that are in the realm of the fall.

When we think about the fact
that everything that we have felt
through our emotions
and everything that we have felt
through our sense of touch,
was felt and contacted from a position
that is in opposition to you,

we must realize
that we are the descendants
of fallen humankind
who were defiled over and over again.

We must long for the day
when we are able to arrive
in that place with minds
that earnestly respect
our holy, liberated and good images,

and stand in that place
and look up to and praise heaven,
listen to your advice
and receive your commands.

We must grieve
that we have not been able
to stand in a position
where all the emotions we feel
could surrender to you
while looking at nature,
as the garden of blessing
which you allowed
and which has fragrances
wafting around.

We must be able
to throw away the corrupt things
we have been fond of until now
and go forth of our own accord,
longing for ourselves
for the original nature
which heaven wanted to protect.

Since we know
that all our emotions have been defiled,

now please let all of our minds and emotions
have you as our motive,
form a relationship with you
and produce results that are due to you.

We have humbly prayed all these things
in the name of the name of the True Parents. Amen.
