3. God Is the Greatest Artist / "God and Art" (Manu)


Concerning art, as was told before, it has been told frequently "God is the greatest artist." Looking into the deep sea, you find that there is a beautiful, truly beautiful world in a sea. In a deep and deep sea bottom, which could not be ever seen by you all, there has developed a beautiful world that would be worthy of watching. Of various colors.

And stars. Looking over the sky, it is very beautiful. But, beyond the sky, look at the great planets of the universe, the nebulas going around the sun. How many hours have you been watching it through the telescope? There you find a beautiful scene of which you would not get tired. Those worlds shouldn't have any chance of being watched, but for whom has God created such a beautiful creature? So far as I think, it is filled with the works of art of God. But only you are not aware of this, only you do not see.

This is so, only you do not see it, and there is a really beautiful scene in our world called heaven. It is not to let it be seen to someone, but it is, God himself is love, and as the one expressing beauty, God himself is the great "truth, goodness, and beauty," and when God expresses, it becomes the beauty itself. So it is.

A star in the sky, a nebula, a sea God being loving, and living things. A running zebra in a savanna, a running lion.
How is it?

Look upon each figure of them, each one is beautiful. Even a camel in desert, I think it is beautiful.
That sense of "beauty."

In accordance with how much the senses are tuned and synchronized to the vibration of God, how much could one sense the beauty of God from what God has created, shaking with emotion? It is to sense God, to sense the love of God, and for us who have been occasionally given art as an expressive form of the love of God to send down the mission through the media as such art as ours.

When we have received the love of God based on a great and deep faith, how far out from the higher dimensions and how splendid a thing can we set down on this ground in a state of enlightenment drawing close to God? It is the talent as an artist, the ways of enlightenment as art, and is going to become the standard of judging and its target how the works are splendid which are exhibited as a result. I want to let you know this. Therefore, those arts denying God or without God are originally not universal. Because art is nothing other than the expressive form of God's love itself.

Science is the same. God is love itself, hence God's love itself and the world of this ground are being moved by one law. That which provides to the people as one methodology and function is, in some sense, science. And art is to convey the existence of God or the existence of beauty as that which expresses beauty. It is such a methodology. I want to say science and art are basically the same, though there are some differences more or less.

So, in Lemuria, it is based on the art of Orion. Well, Orion was a planet that particularly highlighted the "beauty" of truth, goodness, and beauty. But if it expresses beauty, isn't there a necessity to express truth and goodness?
Certainly it cannot be.

If there is truth, goodness, and beauty in God, you have to firmly understand what the love of God is, what truth is, what goodness is, and what God itself is. After you have understood how the divine truth is to be goodness, an expressive form of beauty comes out as a result of "beauty" as the expressive media of the original love of God.

So, those who are called artists have a very deep understanding of the knowledge of the divine truth. It is to go up to such a level.

If expressing beauty happened to be the mission of some planet other than Orion,it is nonetheless the same. If that which is divine truth and goodness, namely the law, has been understood properly, then the words a person is speaking, or the behaviors, all of them shall be beautiful as a result.

If it were a planet in which one such as Buddha resided, and even if it were not a planet of art or a village of art, their words and deeds, way of life, attitude, wearing clothes, gestures, behaviors, and the rhythm of the word spoken, all of them would become beautiful. They would become "beauty" as a result. It is because all of them are working together.
