It's lovely to have money to give away - that's the bonus of winning the Nobel.

Alfred Nobel was much concerned as are we all with the tangible benefits we hope for and expect from physiological and medical research and the Faculty of the Caroline Institute has ever been alert to recognize practical benefits.

Many Nobel Prizes are awaiting good research to understand and explain the many mysteries of our bodies such as the basic mechanism of memory or imagination.

When the Nobel award came my way it also gave me an opportunity to do something immediate and practical about my old obsessions including literacy basic health care and gender equity aimed specifically at India and Bangladesh.

I can only point out a curious fact. Year after year the Nobel Awards bring a moment of happiness not only to the recipients not only to colleagues and friends of the recipients but even to strangers.

You can be famous for a lot of things. You can be a Nobel-prize winner. You can be the fattest guy in the world.

I served the famous professors and scholars and eventually they learned that the Reverend Moon is superior to them. Even Nobel laureate academics who thought they were at the center of knowledge are as nothing in front of me.

When I was young my Father used to tell me that the two most worthwhile pursuits in life were the pursuit of truth and of beauty and I believe that Alfred Nobel must have felt much the same when he gave these prizes for literature and the sciences.
