Now it has come to this stage, so, as the messengers of God you all go with the law of the laity. It is the grand order of heaven. It means that you do get married. Mediums say, "No, no, I don't like it." Priests also say, "I would like not to get married if possible." Artists fear to get married by themselves. They are afraid of being swallowed up by those who are material in nature. For them it is a very heavy being responsible for the daily life, and being anxious to live through. It is a fear. So, they have been hesitating concluding by coming down to saying, "Oh, no!"
"All those who are going down to the ground have to take the law of laity, so get married." This is because the principles of feminine and masculine are to take hands and the final settlement of the spirit is to be achieved. So, in order to attain the completion of love, you are supposed to be born with a mind "You do get married." All the angels of light have been descended beings in charge with this mission. It is a fact. So, monks, nuns, mediums, priests, all of those who have descended down have had the duty to get married. So is it.
Therefore, at this time, it means the principle of the masculine and the principle of the feminine take hands together in the true sense. Even if you get married, it doesn't mean you will pollute the spirit as a messenger of God, but it is required to receive the principle of love as an overall principle and complete it in the end. It is essential in principle that the love is being completed. In order to teach you this point, the law of laity has been pushed out.
You know there is a principle of the law of laity, don't you? You have heard of it this time. But, after all, there are many monks, looking at a glance, there are many of those who have been priests or persons who worked for God in their past life, so many of you have had a sense of discomfort in getting married and having a family. Some people thought, "I am not willing to get married," but there are those who did it "against my will."
But you learn the fundamental principle of love in the real sense. It is a different problem whether you should have children or not. Children will leave the nest some day. Don't forget. In the love of growing somebody, one learns a lot about the love, in the sense of growing, in the true meaning. You have been told someday before.
The principle of the masculine and the principle of the feminine are entirely different. Those two are encountered, take hands, and learn what it is to love each other, and what is to be learned is that the fundamental unit is husband and wife, a pair of man and woman.
This means that therein lies a very big learning of the spirits. It means that a woman becomes like more a woman, a man becomes like more a man. In order to become a real man, the principle of masculine is opened only by guarding the loving woman. The love of a man in the true sense when it exists on its own is going to fire.
By only words love cannot be told. The love is that which has been devoted in the daily acts of the life by shortening ones own life. It lies in the figure of devotion. It is not only for a woman to devote to love.
Also for a man, there is the devotion of his own life. To tell the truth, he might want always to edit and assemble the law, but he actually has to work hard for his daughters or the like. He must let her go to be a bride. Not one but three. So he has to work hard. Though he really works for the editing the law, he also works hard and has to get a promotion. "Oh master, it is really hard ..." But all of these are love.
Imagine a figure who is acting egoistically about only what he wants to do; there is no love there. Though you want to do something, if you are a man, even if you shorten your life for the loving and guarding persons, it would be the figure of loving, bringing up, and devoting, which is the fundamentals of the road of man as a man shining and trustworthy as a man.
Even if you don't have any children, you can learn fully the love in the figure of devotion that is guarding your own loving wife, and a wife supporting her husband and devoting herself fully. I would like you to learn this. It is not a matter of reason.
