Pure and selfless 'Mother's Love'

After reading this month's 'Guideline of the Heart', I felt a very pure and transparent mother's love in the figure of President Okawa's mother. It is the form of 'selfless love' that loves and cherishes one's child without any selfish motives.

However, such love is often overlooked precisely because it is transparent. I also felt deeply during my student days, when I lived alone for the first time, that many things that were taken for granted in daily life were actually given to me by my mother every day.

I believe that realizing such very close love is very important for living life.

People tend to seek love from others. However, only by knowing that 'in reality, we are supported and kept alive by many people' can gratitude and happiness arise, and one can also think, 'I want to give love as well.'

Realizing 'the love of deities' changes your life

The role of religion is to convey such 'important things that are not visible to the eye'. In Happy Science, many people have experienced significant changes in their lives by realizing 'being kept alive' through books, temple training, movies, and more. In particular, those who have realized the 'love of deities' that watches over and guides us have experienced 'miracles' such as healing from illness or turning their lives around.

We encourage everyone to reflect on 'what has been given' at your nearby Happy Science temple open_in_new or branch open_in_new and deepen your gratitude.
