Introduction
Exposition of the Divine Principle
Everyone is struggling to attain happiness and avoid
misfortune. From the commonplace affairs of individuals
to the great events that shape the course of history,
each is at root an expression of the human aspiration
for ever greater happiness. How then does happiness
arise?
People feel joy when their desires are fulfilled. The
word "desire", however, is often not understood in its
original sense, because in the present circumstances our
desires tend to pursue evil rather than good.

Chapter 1
Principle of Creation
Throughout history, people have anguished over the
fundamental questions of human life and the universe
without arriving at satisfying answers. This
is because no one has understood the root principle by
which humanity and the universe were originally created.
To approach this topic properly, it is not enough to
examine resultant reality. The fundamental question is
that of the causal reality. Problems concerning human
life and the universe cannot be solved without first
understanding the nature of God. This chapter deals
extensively with these questions. |
