From the viewpoint of God’s original ideal of creation, the sexual organs are the most precious and holy place. This is the holy place, the holy of holies! The most holy place is not a place that just anyone can enter. No one except for the high priest, except for the person in charge, can open its door. The words “a fountain sealed” in the Song of Solomon in the Bible refer to this. (205-328, 1990.10.2)

5.2. Love is not something that is learned
Did you learn how to love at home? What kind of father would tell his child to learn how to love from him? Also, does a mother tell her child to learn how to love from her? Furthermore, did the parents learn from someone how to love their children? Did the bride and bridegroom learn from someone that they should love in a certain way? They did not learn it, but they know it well. This is something truly mysterious. (23-20, 1969.5.11)
When parents love their children, do they receive instructions from someone on how to love them? You women gathered here, when you loved your babies after they were born, did you learn the way to love them? Is there a school somewhere that teaches love? Is there something like a bachelor’s or doctoral degree in this field? There is no such thing, but everyone reaches a perfect score in this. The more lacking you feel yourself to be, the more complete your love is. Something that is complete does not need to be learned or have anything more done to it. The less that needs to be added to or subtracted from something, the more complete it is; hence, complete things do not change, and unchanging things last forever. (38-228, 1971.1.8)
Love is difficult to understand in words. No matter how many explanations are given for parents’ love, people without parents cannot understand it. No matter how many explanations are given for conjugal love, people living alone cannot grasp it. After all, you feel the love of your partner when, as a subject partner or object partner, you can have a point of convergence in your actions that you can perceive – such as loving what your partner loves or connecting to his or her whole being. (58-290, 1972.6.25)
It is through this power of love that a newborn baby and young animal can find their mother’s milk naturally, without their having received education or training. (Blessed Family – 1060)
Sincere love is a heavenly law, and thus it is realized naturally before it is taught. Parents’ love does not become bigger or smaller according to whether the child’s face is cute or ugly, nor is there a child who changes his love and respect for his parents according to whether they are good looking or bad looking. Are there children who say, “You have an ugly face, so you are not my mother”? There would be no parents who say, “Although I gave birth to you, you are not my child because you have an ugly face.” If there were such parents or children, we would not be able to call them human beings. (Blessed Family – 1060)
True love is to be attained through experience and understood through feeling. True love is not something that can be mastered through words, writings, or general education. It can be completely attained only through daily living. In their process of growing up from infanthood, Adam and Eve were supposed to reach perfection by experiencing and feeling the heart of true children, the heart of true brother and sister, the heart of true husband and wife, and the heart of true parents through step-by-step daily living. They would have finally become ideal people who perfected the purpose of creation only when they deeply learned through experience God’s true love as a whole. (277-196, 1996.4.16)
