The Family

Korea, Former Headquarters Church.

Matthew 10:34-39

In this world, countless people are living, and they all belong to families. But without a true family one cannot raise true children, and the formation of a true society too is impossible. That, through the true family, a true society, nation, and world are achieved, is a natural fact.

What Is It That We Must Pursue?

Education, cultivation, and religion until now have come out centered on the individual. Though they passed through the long historic process, when we ask whether all those purposes were attained and a perfect individual and a perfect family were formed, we can flatly conclude that in the historic process there has not been a person who, crossing beyond all the standards of cultivation that had been set up and emphasized as human ethics and morality until now, formed a true family.

If there is an ideal world that any founder of a way or any sage or wise man wishes for, it is not that it is realized of itself in some space; rather, they themselves must first practice that ideal. That the ideal must, without fail, be practiced, unfolded, and developed by themselves is a fact that needs no further saying. Thus one must first act oneself and then transfer it to the family, transfer it to the clan, and transfer it beyond the people and the nation all the way to the world—this needs no saying.

In the historic ages until now, there has been no definition of what a true family is. Not only that; it was not clear what the goal and the limit point are that a true person should aim at.

The human being is one placed in a transitional phenomenon, not knowing whence he came and whither he goes. And such a human being came down through history without being able to fix the standard of the purpose he must reach, the standard of cultivation, the limit point of human perfection.

So that he himself failed to form the standard of perfect character that can pass through all history, and the future needs no saying. Because the individual failed to stand in such a place, there is no possibility whatever that the highest family standard the human being wishes for could be formed.

Seen thus, the countless human beings are floundering, each on the life-road he must go, is a problem too; but the greater problem we must not forget is the fact that the problem of having to achieve the family standard on the foundation of the individual remains upon the road of humankind and the road of developing human history. There must be a start of the family that can rise onto the fundamental orbit and run toward the original homeland that original humankind aims at. We must know that otherwise it is impossible to reach the ideal land all humankind awaits and the world of the purpose they are seeking.

Then what is the final purpose religion must aim at?

Of course, asserting the purpose of the individual seeking the way has some reason too, but beyond that, one must save the family.

First, one must find the family and liberate the human being who belongs to the sphere of evil sovereignty from within sin and evil. In the true sense, one must find a family that represents history, represents the age, and represents the future. And one must fix the foundation of the family in which all humankind of the world can rejoice together, and the standard of the right path (正道) the family must go. It must be decided from where the system of that family starts and to where it must go.

Unless it becomes so, one cannot found a world of peace upon this earth, I say. You must know that however well the outward things are achieved, once one comes into the inner family, it can fall apart.

The Source of Happiness and the Point Where God’s Love Can Be Manifested in Substance

In human living, when we call a certain person a happy person, by what standard do we say he is happy?

Can we say a person is happy because he holds some outward ability, power, or authority? We cannot. And is a person happy because he has enough money to be the envy of none? No. And can a person be happy because he holds worldwide knowledge and is in a position to sway the world at will? By no means is a person happy by that alone.

Though all the human beings of this earth generally feel, experience, and acknowledge that the foundation of happiness is the family, they still do not hold the standard of a happy family. We must know that this is a han. That is why the problem is the family. A family must have parents. In the world, a child without parents is called an orphan, and that orphan is treated as a pitiable person.

In a family, at the same time as there are parents, there is the bond of husband and wife. To have no parents is pitiable too, but for one of the couple to be absent is pitiable too.

However lovingly a couple lived, when one loses the beloved spouse, it becomes miserable beyond compare. Not only that; if a couple fails to have children, that too cannot but be an unhappiness.

Even though a certain person went out into society and failed to succeed, or failed to hold imposing authority and qualification as a member of society, if in the family he forms a family centered on true parents, a true couple, and true children, and lives so peacefully that anyone would want to model his family upon it, one cannot deny that that family is happy.

Such a family must not be limited to the true happiness of the family but must give influence, through that society or the relatives, clan, tribe, and kindred, before the people or the nation.

If there is such a family, it will undoubtedly be a family the whole people or nation must admire.

Likewise, if a single family that can represent the people, and go further beyond the nation and be admired by the world, is manifested upon this globe, all humankind of the world will undoubtedly revere that family.

Coming through history until now, many people have revered sages and wise men, but what was the point that became the peace of the family centered on the ideal family they wished to have, the family they wished to love, the filial son they wished to love, the couple they wished to love? When we ask thus in return, there is no answer, I say.

Then what is the highest foundation of happiness that the human being goes seeking? It is heart (심정). Considering the reality of the human being, that human happiness and unhappiness are decided centered on the emotional foundation, the problem is what is the heart-based foundation of the true family that can prove the problem of God, religion, and the soul, and, this becoming the motive, can give influence to the environment.

You have heard and know the words “God is love.” Then where must that love appear? Where must it appear? Everyone wishes it to appear to him. But if that love appears to one person, it ends with the individual.

If it appears only to a man, if a man, only to a woman, if a woman, then once one century passes, it is all reaped and ends. In other words, if one person, unable to deepen that love and unable to transfer it, dies, it can be only a love that ends in one generation.

Then how shall one set up an eternal bloodline standard of love?

If, through God’s love appearing to one man and one woman, they form a family and can implant that love in the children who form a blood relation, from there an eternal love appears to the human being. That is, a point appears at which the formless love of God can be manifested in substance. Seen thus, when we ask what the total foundation is on which God’s love can be achieved, we cannot deny the fact that it comes in the end to the place called the family.

The Starting Point of the Salvation of Humankind

In modern society, the problem of adolescents is causing an uproar not only in the Republic of Korea but worldwide. Then where lies the motive that made them become so? Eighty percent, ninety percent, a hundred percent, or more of that motive lies in the emotional problem. It is that the situations lacking in the failure to have good parents, in the failure to have good brothers, in the relationship between man and woman become the cause and produce such a result.

Considering this fact, what is it that becomes the standard by which all these ills can be set aright? This too lies in the family, I say.

In the history of this world until now, there have been countless revolutions. Even though, as a result of such revolutions, there were many facts of moving the world, they all just passed away. The final problem is that a single center that can raise a revolution to achieve a true family must be manifested upon this globe. And there is no way to deny the fact that from there the founding of a new world, the start of a new historic ideal, must appear.

Centered on such a problem, there is a problem each of you must think about. If a person who does not have the right origin of a family goes somewhere, where would he go?

Even if he went, he could not but return, failing to find a settled point of purpose. So it is a life road that holds the fate of not being able but to go seeking back into the family.

The human force that goes pursuing the original homeland must become the motive that can give influence to the whole of history and all environments and form the foundation of happiness.

Where will the family that becomes the foundation of such human force be achieved?

Today, a way or a religion must first prepare the framework by which it becomes a public benefit to the family before it becomes a public benefit to society. Before that, however much a religion sets up an achievement that becomes a public benefit to society, when the framework of the family that composes that society goes awry, the foundation of society too collapses.

Seen from this point, where would be the first starting point for God to save fallen humankind? Would it be some specific nation that boasts of some civilization? No. Would He center on some organization of society, saying it is an ideal organization? No. Then would He center on some individual who has a genius-like endowment? No. Then what is it? You must know that the one starting point that can transcend all these is the family.

If God exists, God too must find such a family. Therefore, the human being of today must become a person who, equipping the qualification of having passed through the gate of such a family, can head toward the world holding the signpost of a victor. Individual selves who can face such an ism and thought must come forth.

Then what kind of family is the family you seek?

Even though human beings today say, “Ah! Until now our family is happy,” the happiness of that family cannot be guaranteed into the future. However peaceful the family, one cannot know when, someday, the husband may suddenly be notified of death. That is why we must find the foundation on which, forming that family equipped with the conviction by which happiness and peace can be eternally guaranteed, we can remove whatever sorrowful thing may come. To become so, the individual must hold that much conviction, and the family that such people form must also hold such conviction.

When it becomes so, even if one of the couple in that family dies first, that cannot become a requisite of unhappiness. Such a family must be formed.

God too wishes to find such a family, and the countless religions too wish to find such a family. In that case, what will become of the priests and nuns of the Catholic Church and the nuns of Buddhism?

This cannot but be a problem.

Then, is the purpose that religion aims at wrong?

If it is said to be wrong, the foundation on which such a religion has labored until now and God Himself, who has worked behind that religion, would all come to be rejected. That such a phenomenon appears historically is because at some time a true family must come forth, so it is a preparation to greet that family.

Then why do Buddhism and the Catholic Church emphasize celibacy?

Can it be said that that is wholly the foundation of human happiness? No. Because no religion upon this earth has presented what the foundation of happiness is, nor had a plan centered on the framework of the family, nor did the family itself appear—because they knew the fact that someday such a family would undoubtedly appear—they have emphasized celibacy, I say. Only so can human beings build a pure and right family.

Looking at the Bible, there are the words “a man’s foes shall be they of his household” (Matt. 10:36).

Then, since we have until now pursued the ideal family and the family with which we must become completely one, is that in contradiction with the words of the Bible?

Among the foes of the world, who is the greatest foe?

Is it the person who made you lose several billion won of money? No. That person is forgiven once you get money several hundred times the loss. And even if there is a foe of a degree greater than that, he can be forgiven.

Then what is the foe of foes?

It is the antagonist of the heart. Such a person there is no way to forgive. What is the foe among the foes of the world? It is the foe of love. That is, the foe of the emotional problem, I say. This foe can neither be forgiven, nor, if this foe is forgiven, does it go against the heavenly way. There is no law by which to forgive this. Seen thus, when in Christianity God’s infinite love is emphasized, one will ask in return how there can be any foe to God. There must be no foe, I say.

Then what does it mean that a foe can exist?

In doing an absolute love, when the partner comes to stand in a dualistic standpoint, he becomes a foe. In that case, he cannot be forgiven, I say. Because God’s love is an absolute love, it must appear centered on an absolute standard.

But if, not from an absolute standpoint but from a relative standpoint, it appears bearing relativity, this cannot be forgiven, I say. Thinking about such a thing, you will not be able to understand what that means.

What is the problem that can by no means be accepted?

It is not money, nor a national problem. Considering the relationship between Korea and Japan, even several decades ago, the two nations were enemy nations to each other. But now they are bound in a comrade-like standpoint that can console each other. This is because, even though they became foes centered on national interest, they can forgive through the bond of a common love. In this, the majority of people are included. But if a Japanese person stabbed one’s son to death, or killed one’s husband, then however much diplomatic relations are normalized, from that person’s mind the thought that it is an enemy nation will not depart.

It is so for one’s own individual, but so also for God. If someone tramples God’s only love, God cannot set up a law of forgiveness and prepare a point of peace. This point of peace is absolutely one and only. This cannot be two. That is why, on the day this point becomes two, the ideal breaks.

The Reason He Said the Members of One’s Own Household Are One’s Foes

That is why, if there is a foe before God, who is love, it is not a foe bound by something material like the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil.

If there is one who plunders the only absolute love in God’s heart, he can never be united with God. That is why, if there is a foe before God, the conclusion comes out that it is a foe opposed to love. Seen from this point, you will be able to understand the content the Unification Church asserts.

Then what is the fall?

It is the destruction of God’s only bond of love. Then why did God not forgive them at the time of the fall, but seeks to forgive only now? Then is He not a contradictory God? It is because God has an absolute standard, so that until fallen humankind reaches the place of this absolute standard, He cannot set up a law of forgiveness.

That is why the words “to be given life” and “forgiveness” remain in Christianity, and the noun “Last Days” remains. That is why the age that can be called the Last Days must come. Then with what will the foe be liquidated at that time? Centered on God’s ideal of love, the foe is struck down.

So when the Last Days come, the wrong love that has been upon this earth until now is struck.

Seen thus, because the age of the end has drawn near upon this globe, worldwide the time has come when the love of parents strikes home, the time has come when the love of husband and wife strikes home, and the time has come when the love of children strikes home.

So the age has come in which the family is shattered into pieces. Parents do not recognize children, children do not recognize parents, the wife does not recognize the husband, and the husband does not recognize the wife, I say.

It is a time when the human being cannot be bound anywhere, try as one might. It is a time when the family, which had been asserted as the requisite of human happiness, is blown up. So Jesus’ words, that the members of your household are your foes, are right. That is why God strikes this age. When God strikes, one must be struck.

The world has reached an end-time situation that cannot be set in order by human force and human love, I say. That is why a new movement must, without fail, break out. In a family, if the husband tries to live like that while the wife tries to live like this, what will become of it? It does not end with merely greeting the end-time age.

One must liquidate what has gone wrong and start with the original standard that has not gone wrong. To do so, the old and the new collide.

Until now, individuals have set up families in any old way, but hereafter they must not be set up so. We are in such an age.

From this perspective, the logic by which Christianity expounded on sin was concrete, and, since it was based on a law by which it can be so, one cannot but see it as a valid exposition.

In the end, the original exemplary family that all human beings wish for and must achieve—that is, the hundred-point family—must come forth, but until now not even a ten-point family has come forth.

Far less than ten points, it is like a minus-hundred-point family, worse than not having formed a family at all, I say. Hearing such words, you will feel bad. You who hear these words will feel bad, but the one who has to say these words feels worse. A minus-hundred-point family—try living happily with that family.

However happily you live, it becomes a minus family. The further one goes, the higher the mountain and steeper the ridge, I say.

If you are living in a family that becomes such a minus standard, are you a happy person or an unhappy person? Without further ado, you are an unhappy person.

A Model Family Must Come Forth

Then must you just sit and watch such a family?

Or must you smash it with a club? It is not that, because the Teacher said this, you should go home this evening and do something for your family. Smash it one must, but in smashing there must be a method by which, after smashing, one can build. That is, even in smashing, set up an alternative before you smash, I say. Do you understand?

Seen thus, if God, taking some family among the human world as a model, seeks to set the other families in order, He will set up a model family and then smash it.

Smashing thus is not evil. Do you understand? That negative phenomena arise at the crossroads of trying to switch an evil world into a world of true happiness is natural.

If it is a God of love, He can strike after presenting an alternative, I say. The Teacher agrees with that. How about you? Looking at your eyes, it seems you all agree.

Some person says, “Until now I do not even know the purpose and cannot even think of such a thing, so how can I agree without knowing anything?” But once you hear this Word, you cannot but agree.

Then, if such a standard family comes forth, will you follow, or not follow?

A person who does not follow perishes, perishes. He deserves to perish. A person who understands the Teacher’s words will not feel hurt even hearing such words. In that case, one must follow whatever happens.

If one looks at the eyes of us Koreans, they protrude unusually compared with people of other nations. It is the people whose eyes protrude most in the whole world. Among Eastern people, Koreans protrude unusually much. Then why did the eyes come out so? Here, a person like the Teacher is a bit of an exception…. But if one looks at Western people, their eyes are all sunken.

In the old days, a person with sunken eyes got on in the world. It is because one must close the eyes and think. But now is the time when the eyes must come out. In the Last Days, one cannot live with the eyes shut.

Seen thus, Koreans, plausibly enough, can see a span farther than the people of any nation in the world.

Thinking of this, we Koreans, even fighting with eyes, nose, and teeth, would not lose. Western people, try as they might to see the other eye with one eye, cannot; but Eastern people, when they see with the right eye, can even see the left eye. Very well-formed indeed.

Going around the whole region of Southeast Asia, when I see a person with protruding eyes, I can tell, “Ah, a Korean.” Seeing such things, God’s power of harmonizing creation is quite the thing. Thinking that Koreans came to be set up in a standpoint of being able to see well in the Last Days, my mood, though a bit bad, turns good.

Then, if there is the unsightly family I spoke of a moment ago, must it be left as it is or smashed? A person who thinks such words of the Teacher a bit inflammatory will say not to smash but to leave it and watch a while. That must not be. It must be smashed. Rather than the words “Let us strike,” the words “Let us smash” strike home more, I say.

All of you, for what did Jesus come?

And what on earth did the so-called sages and wise men come to do? It cannot but be a doubtful thing. If there were a well-achieved family, they would say, Model your family upon that family and live like that family, but until now there have been families, but there was no such family.

Then has the human being, until now, thought seriously about the problem called the ideal that he wishes for? Did Confucius do so?

Who has thought seriously about it?

Departing from the standpoint of the family until now, one must think seriously, centered on the fact that if there is a force that can, in a true place, save humankind centered on a true family, the origin of that force must without fail be the family.

If there were such a founder of a way, he would be a fine religious leader. And he would be, undoubtedly, a savior who can lead all humankind of the world to one place. Is it not so?

Then did Buddhist thought do so, or did Confucian thought do so?

Confucian thought did not treat the substance of God. Of course, Confucianism sets forth the thought of revering Heaven, but because the Heaven (天) it speaks of is not a personal being, not a being who has love, it cannot form a close relation with the human being.

What One Knows Even Without Being Taught

Then what kind of person was Jesus? From where did Jesus’ logic come?

He did not say, live doing good works; only by doing right things do you go to the Kingdom of Heaven.

He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

Thus Jesus did not say “learn,” but said, “Follow me.” When they follow, Christians too come to resemble Jesus.

Did you learn the method of loving in your family?

What father says to his child, learn from your father the method of loving? Were you so educated? And does a mother say to her child, Learn from your mother the method of loving? And from whom did parents learn the method of loving their child? From whom did you learn that bridegroom and bride must love like this? You did not learn it, but you do it well. It is truly a mysterious thing. All human beings, though they did not learn it, do it well, I say.

All of you know that there is air, right?

Though you live breathing air every day, do you live saying, “Hey, this is air”?

Though you live breathing every day, you live without even thinking of the air. And though everyone lives receiving the light of the sun, have you ever, morning and evening, known the gratitude of sunlight and greeted it? Did you learn the method of greeting it, or not? Seeing there is no answer, it seems that too was not learned.

Water is the same. From whom did you learn that when you drink water, you must drink it like this? Did you learn it, or not? That too you did not learn. About the most precious things one was not taught, I say.

Then let us think about sunlight, said to be the most precious.

If the sun were to disappear from this globe for just two days, what would happen? Could one even imagine it? And air too is so.

If the heir went on a joint strike, saying, “The human beings are now talking big; how great is their power—let us just disappear from the globe for about fifteen minutes,” what would happen? On the day this happened, world unification could be simply achieved. There would be no need to hang out the signboard “Unification Church.” It is simple. Not fifteen minutes—within ten minutes, world unification would be achieved.

Did you learn the method of consuming air or water? That, without being taught, one comes to know naturally. Everything said to be precious in the world is so.

If God exists, He would be a being far more precious than those. How can human beings know Him? Likewise, one comes to know God without being taught. Originally, concerning God too, one must know without being taught, I say.

Do you know how big the mind is?

Though it is not seen, it does exist. As for how big this mind is—it would probably not be satisfied even after putting in a hundred, a thousand of this world. And even if there were several thousand, several tens of thousands of diamonds, each like the planet Earth, it would feel bad if given only one. Thus, the mind is unimaginably big.

And your mind knows good things and bad things well without being taught.

Did the mind learn, “Hey, mind, when someone does such-and-such, it is bad, so at that time you be the sentry”?

Though it was not taught, this mind, even when the body, big and with great force, comes at it, does not make it a problem. Rather, proportionally to that force, it immediately, faster than electricity, raises a reaction.

When one takes on another mind, it at once makes one stop.

How much education would it take to become so?

If a person, through education, could be made to become so at any time, this would be a great success. However great an educator, he could not do this. Then have you learned such a thing or not? Everyone knows well and does well without being taught, I say.

The best thing, the most precious thing in this world, is God’s love. It was said, “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life”; then why is that needed?

It is needed because human beings are not within God’s love; once that becomes so, of what use is it?

If a certain person plainly got married and one keeps saying she got married, how is it? Say it just three times, and she feels bad.

Is God, who is a God of love, a being who teaches the human being that the most precious thing must not be eaten and then makes him eat it? No.

If He were such a God, He would be a God who teaches stealing. It is not that God taught and the human being came to know. Even without being taught, one comes to know, I say. God’s love is set to be like this, but the accident is why human beings failed to become so. Then where lies the motive of that accident, and from whom?

Considering such a problem, that they ate the “fruit of the knowledge of good and evil” with their hands is absolutely not a sin. Setting aside the other problems, that they ate the fruit and fell is absolutely not so, I say.

Except through the problem of love, one cannot transcend death, I say. This is so even thinking of it by common sense. The pastors until now say that the human being ate the fruit, fell, and original sin arose.

Then what on earth is original sin?

What is original sin?

Become God’s Firstborn Son

Thinking of this, it is because of the problem of love that they fell. Because the law of love, the ethic of love, which should have started centered on God, went wrong, that must be set in order.

The start of the human being was not centered on the absolute God but illicitly. And thus, the family, the nation, and the world were formed. Because the family God wished for was not achieved, one must go seeking such a family. That is why you must know that He said the members of your household are your foes.

Then who, among the leaders of religions, held concern about such a family and thought seriously?

That one is precisely Jesus. Just as Jesus said, “Follow me.”

If one follows, one can know. Thus, the seat of the founder-leader of Christianity is hard, I say. And the saints are not in a seat of merely learning, but in a seat of following. That is why the people who follow Jesus, who died on the cross, writhe, and resolve upon even the road of death and go; they will arrive at the Kingdom of Heaven first. Thus, the secret of going to the Kingdom of Heaven is simple.

Then what kind of being did Jesus say God is?

To him, God was not a friend’s father, nor the ruler of a nation, nor some worldwide ruler, he said. He said God is my Father. Not only that; he said he himself is God’s only begotten son.

If God exists, there must be a son, and Jesus is the first son and the only son, I say. It feels bad. Even the father would feel bad hearing it.

If some son said to his father, “Father! Since I am your only begotten son, you must not call me an illegitimate son.”

How bad would that father feel?

Jesus, from the very start, said, “God is my Father, and I am His only begotten son.”

Then who is the person closest to God? Who is it? “It is I.” Is it you? That much will do, will do. Then one becomes Jesus. If one says so even just in words, it feels good. You answered very well.

Did God, who is love, really love the human being? Among you there may be a person who says, “I do not even know whether God exists or not, so what love is this love?”

If God loves me, from what standpoint would He love me?

All of you, think about it. If God loves a beggar, good-for-nothing-like human being, He is a wrong God. If love is God, from what standpoint would He wish to love? What kind of standpoint would that be?

When someone marries and wishes to have a child, do you prefer a daughter first or to have a son first?

All of you here, answer once. Is it good to have a first son or good to have a first daughter? “The first son is good.” From where, again, did you learn that having a first son is good? Though you were not taught by anyone, you know it well. For men with a thief’s disposition, there is no need even to ask.

When one has a first son, without even speaking, drooling with delight, one is glad. It is quite all right to descend upon the one who had a first son and make him treat everyone. Seeing such things, our Korean custom is good.

Thus, whether man or woman, if one is going to bear at all, one wishes to bear a first son. Is a son who says to his father, “I will become the youngest son,” good? Or is a son who, even grabbing the father by the collar, says, “I will become the firstborn son,” good? What do you think?

God too would like a person who says he will become the firstborn son, even at the cost of being grabbed by the collar. Seen from this point, one can know that God agrees even with Jacob’s taking the firstborn’s qualification from Esau.

In loving a person, from what standpoint would God love him?

From what standpoint would the God of love love a human being most?

It is precisely a human being who is in the relationship of father and son that He loves most, I say.

Jesus too had much greed. He said he would become, even as a son, the firstborn son. Because the firstborn was taken away, the world became a problem. What will you become? Will you become the firstborn son?

What do you want to become?

If Jesus became the firstborn son, you cannot. Does that feel bad? Then you must fight with Jesus to take the seat of firstborn son. Even though Jesus became the firstborn son, if you only come forward holding the condition by which you can become the elder brother, Jesus too must submit.

Until now, Jesus has been God’s firstborn son. Then what will you become? Will you become a servant? Today’s Christians pray, “Bless so-and-so, God’s servant.”

Since you are praying anyway, why not pray as a servant of a servant? I feel bad, so I do not do such a prayer. Unification believers must absolutely not do such a prayer, I say.

If a son goes home to eat and says before his father, “Father, here your servant-brat has come,” would that father feel good? (Laughter.) There is a limit to spoiling one’s mood. “Aigo, let this cursed house go however it will!”—such a lament will burst out.

So we Unification believers absolutely do not pray using the word servant. Do you understand what I mean? “Yes.” But do not teach it to the established believers. Only so can we exchange views once more with the people who oppose.

If God is the very substance of love, His relationship with the human being cannot but be a father-son relationship. If it were another relationship, He is not a God of love. That is why in Christianity one could address God as Father.

Jesus, Who Came to Greet a Bride

Jesus said, “I am the bridegroom, and you are the bride.” Then what is it that the bridegroom and bride are to do? What to do—they marry. It means to marry. Then after marrying, what is there to do? It is to form a family. It is to form a family and bear children.

If one fails to bear sons and daughters, that family does not even count as a family.

If one fails to bear sons and daughters, it begins to split apart. Only after bearing sons and daughters is a family surely formed. Even if, disliking the bride, one wishes to divorce on the spot, once a son is born, even that bridegroom can do nothing. He cannot but live together with no escape. So to form a family, there must be children.

Then if Jesus comes as the bridegroom and we must become the bride, what must we, who become the bride, do? Is the purpose of the bridegroom and bride to live saying, “Dear bridegroom, dear bride,” gazing at the front hill and the back hill? Without even thinking of the true content, hoping, “Lord, who has become the bridegroom, though I am so ill-formed, come seeking me and greet me as your first-rate bride,” is to be greedy without measure.

Jesus came to this earth as God’s only begotten Son and as a prince of the heavenly kingdom. And that, as God’s foremost prince, I say. He is a son born, receiving the seal of the Son of Man, fit to inherit God’s full authority. Though the Jewish people should have greeted such a Son of God and become God’s eldest daughter-in-law, they failed to do so. And yet, looking at the people who believe in Jesus today, outwardly they pray, “Lord, who has become the bridegroom!” but if they saw Jesus, they would think, how could Jesus, who becomes the bridegroom, be so shabby?

Are there people here who pray like a servant?

Only when they are about to die do they say, “Lord, who has become the bridegroom, since I am about to die like this, save me.” Seeing such things, it is an appalling matter. When it is good for them, they pretend not to know, and only when they are distressed and sorrowful do they say, “Lord!” This ruins the household, I say.

Jesus is God’s foremost prince. Then, since the Unification Church is said to be a bit better, is there among you anyone who has the confidence to become that prince’s bride? Let the person who has confidence raise a hand.

Even if you raise your hand, it is worrying, right? When one asks today’s established believers what to do, having become bridegroom and bride, they say, “What to do—it is to go to the Kingdom of Heaven.” Then when one asks, “And after going to the Kingdom of Heaven, what happens?” they cannot answer. One must not believe like that.

Digging into all these problems, the conclusion comes out that the bridegroom and bride must form a family. Is there any objection to this? Is there anyone who says he dislikes such a thing? Bridegroom and bride must, attending God as Father, form a bond as prince and princess of Heaven. Thus forming a family centered on God was Jesus’ desire. Otherwise, what would Jesus’ desire have been?

Would it have been to possess all under heaven?

What Jesus, Having Come, Had First to Achieve

Even though Jesus could do with the world as he pleased, if he failed to achieve such a family standard, it would not do, I say.

Seen thus, what was Jesus’ desire?

Because he came as the bridegroom, he had to greet a bride. Because he came as a prince of Heaven, he had to greet God’s daughter-in-law, who can stand in for a princess of Heaven. Is this not an obvious reason? Even a person who came for the first time, once he knows such content, accepts it as a fixed reason. And yet until now in Christianity they have not believed so.

Then what must Christianity do?

Because the Prince of Heaven came and tried to settle down but was driven out, it must apologize a thousand times, ten thousand times. And it must prepare a bride before that one whose coming all humankind commonly awaits and make the environment he wishes. That it came out bearing such a historic responsibility is precisely Christianity, the religion of the bride, I say. To do so is what a Christian is.

If, instead, one wishes for something else, all are thieves.

What Christians must prepare was the first purpose Jesus wished. Before attaining this first purpose, the second purpose cannot be achieved—this is the human being.

If one believes in Jesus and does business and succeeds, can one go to the Kingdom of Heaven?

Doing so, one cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven. That is why Jesus said it is harder than a camel going through the eye of a needle.

What is Jesus’ first purpose?

It is to greet a bride. It is to greet a bride and hold the marriage of the Lamb.

What is this marriage of the Lamb?

As it is so in the Bible too, it is the feast at which God’s foremost prince greets a bride and begins keeping house.

Then, having held that feast, what is one to do? Christians say they float up buoyantly into the air riding a cloud. Christians who believe like this—their heads, however good, could not be better than this.

Must God’s foremost prince, after bringing a bride and holding the marriage feast of the Lamb, ride a cloud and go up to heaven? Or must he keep house on the earth? If one has found the one he wishes to find, he should dance on the spot and at least take a look around. Why, the moment he comes, does he take up all the well-believing Christians and hold a feast in the air? What air-feast is this? Where is it he is going up to? These days one might go up riding an artificial satellite, but eventually one must come down again. One goes up to circle in the air, not to go somewhere.

In the end, Jesus’ purpose is to get a bride and form a family. People who do not know this may say, “I went to the Unification Church, and a person called Teacher Moon said Jesus must form a family. Hearing it, I felt bad.” Then they probably thought they would become the first-rate bride or the special-rate bride and ride a cloud up to heaven? But since the principle is set to be so, it cannot be helped.

The problem is the family, the family. If a family is formed, what must Jesus become? He must become the house-father (家父). At the same time as becoming the house-father, he must become the house-head (家長). Becoming the house-head, he must become the house-clan-master (家宗主). Then up to what standard did Jesus go? He failed even to form a family, I say.

The family Jesus sought to achieve is different from the family you live in today. The family you live in is not the right family. It is a family that has come down wrongly for six thousand years, I say.

But the family Jesus was to achieve is a family in which God, delighted, can live for a thousand, ten thousand years. Among our folk songs there is a song: “Moon, moon, bright moon, moon where Yi Taebaek played; since in that moon over yonder a cassia tree is set, let me bring my two parents and live for a thousand, ten thousand years.” Koreans sang it well. Rather than a song of Koreans, it would be a song God wishes to sing.

If such a family is achieved, is it a family that has become, or a family that has not? Because such a family failed to become, it is a problem, I say.

Then, having formed a family, what must one do?

One had to bear children. Jesus had to bear children upon this earth, I say. That is, God’s grandsons and granddaughters should have come forth. Is God a being who likes only sons? Is there a person who, because he has ten children, says he does not need grandchildren? But the person perishes, I say. All of you, do the people of the world wish to have only their sons? Or do they wish to see even grandchildren? They want grandchildren too. Then whom would that be resembling? “God.” That is right.

If God is the root, one cannot but resemble that God. However one turns it upside down and in reverse, one resembles God. Then does God need a grandson, or not? “He needs one.”

If the established believers hear such words, “Aigo, it is dreadful enough to say Jesus must marry, and now even such words….” Without a doubt, they will say so. Because the Teacher says such words, he has heard himself called a heretic. Even so, I only keep gaining flesh. Because they are sick with envy and call the Unification Church heretic, the Teacher feels good, I say. Only when a heretic comes forth before them do they come to their senses, I say. This is just like giving a stimulus to fellows who do poorly at studies.

Such fellows, only when a rumor is spread that they do poorly and they are shamed, study hard out of mortification, I say. So even in giving them an indirect stimulus, I have become their teacher, I say. So I have given them something that can be a plus, I say.

The Method of Holding Fast to God

I said Jesus must marry and bear God’s grandson; does that feel bad?

If there is a person who feels bad, let him die. At the death of such fellows, not even a mad dog looks back. If God’s grandson is unnecessary, God perishes, and you perish too. Even though I say such words, God will not feel hurt. Then have you seen God’s grandson, or not? “We have not seen him.”

If it were said there is God’s grandson, would you go to meet him, or not?

Would you go? If that one were an American or a German, what would you do? Even so, you must go. But if, having not a penny, you cannot go, what would you do? Would you go on foot? Then, packing a bundle, you must at least put in devotion night and day, saying, “God, please let me at least see Thy hand.”

Then to where would it be good for the Lord to come?

Would it be good if he came to America? “It would be good if he came to Korea.” Korea (Hanguk) is Hanguk because it is a nation of much han (恨). Would it be good if he came to Korea? Would it be good if he came to America, or good if he came to Korea? “Korea.” You are all greedy. (Laughter.)

Such greed everyone has without being taught by anyone. From decades ago, the Teacher has thought much and researched much about this problem. The Lord must without a doubt come to Korea, I say. If he does not come, one must have the nerve to bind even the Lord’s legs tight and drag him here. If you had the skill to do that, what would you have to do?

Suppose a son, coming back from somewhere, finds his father in a corner after a great fight, in a plight where he cannot flee, try as he might. At this time, when there is no other way to save the father, what must be done? At that time, if, having first said inwardly, “Father, forgive me,” one then struck the father’s cheek and made him flee and saved him, would the father afterward scold that son? At such a time, there is no such thing as a father or anything. One must first save the father and then see, I say. When there is no method but that, will you do it or not? “We will.”

If God were in such a cornered standpoint, how would it be?

If one liberated God even by that means, God too could not but be glad. Now, over six thousand years of the history of the providence of Restoration, how much has God fretted! So one can save Him even by such a method, I say. This is what Teacher Moon of the Unification Church has thought and researched. One must make it so that God cannot leave my side. The method is simple.

If one makes God utterly smitten with me, He cannot go; what else can He do? If I hold everything God likes best, He cannot leave. Even if He left, He cannot but come back. I have enough nerve for that.

That is why one can make the Lord come to Korea, and one can also make the Lord who has come go to another nation, I say. So our Unification Church seeks to bring the Lord and God to Korea. Does your mood feel good or bad? “Good.”

The “Blessed Family” That Everyone Must Without Fail Achieve

God has, until now, sought to set up an exemplary family for all human beings. So how much God has longed for such a family! And how much have human beings, bound by the fall, longed for that family?

Have you too longed for that family?

Not only Unification believers, but even those hearing this for the first time now—how much have you longed for such a family?

Hereafter, centered on our Unification Church, all humankind must become one. And thus, what must all humankind seek? They must greet a true family. Going further, one must inherit the tradition of that family and, modeling the living ideal and law of that family, form and live in a family like it. Each one of us must all form and live in such a family. You must know that only so can the world live. Do you understand?

Today the family of the fallen world cannot stand before God. Because there are such twists, the words, “the members of your household are your foes,” are right, I say.

What did Jesus come to this earth to do?

He sought to form a single family centered on God. But because he failed to form this family, he said he would come again. Having come again, what will he do? He must form a family, I say. And thus, when in that family sons and daughters continue to flourish into later generations, a clan is formed, a people is formed, and a nation is formed.

To form such a pure family of God, a family kindred centered on God’s love must be formed upon this earth. But because that family was not formed, God has, until now, carried on the providence of salvation to form the original standard that was God’s ideal of creation—that is, the kindred of Restoration centered on the original family—upon this earth again.

In the Unification Church, to set up such a family, we give what you know well, the “Blessing.” That family is called a “Blessed Family.”

What is that Blessed Family?

It pursues an ideal family centered on God. That family is the family the coming Lord must have, the family the people of later generations must also have, and the family that even that lady over there must have.

What is the common goal that all human beings must have at the last, the common gateway they must go through? It is not a nation, nor the world. It is neither the Communist world nor the democratic world. Before there is a Communist world, there must be the original family. And before there is a democratic world, there must be the original family that can found a true democratic world.

Then, until now, where was the order concerning this?

Where was the education concerning this? Where was the standard of purpose concerning this?

Such a decisive standard has not appeared upon this earth, I say. Before this appears, there can be no kingdom of peace, no ideal nation of peace, no nation of peace, I say.

So what we wish for is that some one time must come when this ideal family, original family, family that must live, family that must be met, family that must be found, without fail, appears upon this globe and can share fate with human history.

Only so is God’s providence for the earth achieved, and only so does the welfare of rest, the nest of rest, start.

But you, in living until now, have not even dreamed of forming such a family. You, holding the han of a life that flowed away together with flowing history, a life lived without value, ought to be busier than anyone to find one place of joy. And yet, are you not stopping the footsteps you were going and turning back, longing for your old hometown?

You must know that you are a pitiable one, walking a pitiable life-road of not having a family you can praise as a welfare of happiness for a thousand, ten thousand years.

Today the person called Teacher Moon of the Unification Church is causing much commotion in the nation and the world, but the ideal the Teacher asserts will, together with history, long and long occupy the breasts of all people.

I wish I could tell you in detail how to form the family I spoke of a moment ago, but there is no time to speak so at length. Whether man or woman, everyone would wish to live in that family once. Do you too wish to live in that family, or not? “We want to live there.”

Then do you wish to live just trivially?

In living, one must live interestingly. In such a family, even wearing clothes soiled and dirty and worn to tatters, one would live with an unchanging mind. Looking at you, it seems you all wish to become so.

If it became a family that could live so, how good it would be!

The Family Centered on God

During the world-tour course last time too, the Teacher blessed many people in America, Japan, and Germany. Some people would like to ask, “Teacher Moon, you say much about such a family, so how does the Unification Church’s Blessed Family differ from our families?” Whether a Blessed Family or another family, that a man and a woman live together is the same.

Then what is it that differs?

And if one compares the poorest and the richest in Korea, what differs?

That both alike have eyes, have a nose, have a mouth, and have ears, I say. Even the richest man in Korea, if you dress him in a beggar’s clothes, looks no different from a beggar.

Even if he is not a beggar, if he acts like a beggar, the people of the world say a rich man died, not that a beggar died. Likewise, though the outward appearance is the same, the content differs, I say.

In the same way that the Unification Church differs, its content also differs.

The family centered on God is precious. Then, among you, let those who have a family raise their hands. There are many. But has your family been such a holy family from before? If it has not become so, it must be set up and switched. But in switching too, one must switch by the law. That law must strike home. Then may your family not strike home? “It must strike home.” But will it do to do as one wishes? That will not do, I say.

The Teacher has spoken until now about the family, but among you, do not, having gone to the Unification Church and heard the Word, say, “It seems our family must perish—now my wife is useless!” If you do so, people, seeing you, will make a fuss that you have been dyed by the Unification Church.

Then for what did Jesus come?

He came to find a family. The work of salvation is the history of Restoration. Because a person has fallen ill, the illness must be cured. Jesus came to save fallen humankind. Then what is salvation? Because the family was lost, it is to find it again. To find it again, what must be done?

Without returning to the lost original place, one cannot find it. Then why must the human being find a family? Why must Jesus come to find a family? It is because the original family was lost. Because a person has fallen ill, the illness must be cured. That is, because one fell, one must restore, I say.

Looking at the Bible, it is said that the human ancestors fell. Then when those ancestors fell, did only one fall? Or did both fall? “Both fell.” That is the problem.

Even in falling, if only one had fallen, the problem is simple. If only one had fallen, because God is the God of creation, He could make one again, I say.

Because the Human Being Fell, the Human Being Must Restore

Then what made them fall?

If the human ancestors Adam and Eve had not fallen and had married, they would have lived without shame. But they fell, and shame arose. Then how did they fall?

Did they fall by eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil? No. They fell centered on love. So in being forgiven too, one must be forgiven centered on love, I say. Do you understand what I mean? “Yes.”

If the couple had fallen by eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, there would be a road by which they could be forgiven for it. That is, if they had fallen because of eating something material, they could be forgiven by God; but if it is a fall that trampled God’s law of love, this cannot be forgiven, I say.

But because the human ancestors did a fall that trampled God’s law of love, they must be restored. The human ancestor Adam is the first Adam, and Jesus is the second Adam. And yet, not even knowing this, many witless people believe Jesus is God. Such people must all perish. Because Adam fell and, failing to become the True Parent, became a false parent, Jesus is the one who, to restore this, must come as the True Parent and become the true ancestor of humankind. Because Adam became the false ancestor, one must again become the true ancestor, I say. And fallen human beings must, the couple becoming one, be grafted onto Jesus. Only so does God carry on the providence of Restoration from that family—you must know this well.

Because Adam’s family fell, God, to save that family, set up the two sons, Cain and Abel, and carried on the providence of salvation. Here Cain had to submit before Abel. This is because, originally, the archangel fell, Adam, so, to restore this, the fallen archangel must absolutely submit before Adam. Because the human being is one bonded inheriting the bloodline of the archangel, to restore this, one must set up Abel in the standpoint standing in for Adam and Cain in the standpoint standing in for the archangel, and offer before Heaven the condition of having subjugated the archangel. Only so does one come to stand in the standpoint that Adam subjugated the archangel.

When the parents spoil Heaven’s purpose, one must restore it in the generation (代) of the children. Thus the history of sin and evil woven from Adam’s family came to be prolonged for six thousand years.

Today’s Situation, in Which the Aspect of Jesus’ Age Is Reproduced

And thus, from Adam’s family, it is divided into the Cain-type family and the Abel-type family, the Cain-type clan and the Abel-type clan, the Cain-type people and the Abel-type people, the Cain-type nation and the Abel-type nation, the Cain-type world, which is the Communist world, and the Abel-type world, which is the democratic world. Because history was so sown from the beginning, the age came without fail in which it bears fruit as two worlds.

So now in this age the democratic world and the Communist world have come to confront each other.

Then for what did Jesus come?

He came to restore that family divided by Adam and Eve’s mistake. That is why Jesus too could not but pass through the process of Abel subjugating Cain.

That is, without passing through the process of subjugating Cain upon the cross, one cannot set up the condition of restoration through indemnity. Then who is the Cain-type being upon the cross? It is the thief on the left. The Abel-type thief is the thief on the right.

Just as centered on the human ancestor Adam’s family, there was the fight of Cain and Abel; Jesus too, coming as the True Parent to restore the human ancestor, had to indemnify and restore through such a condition even in the place of death. Because the start became so, the restoration too must be done so, I say. And upon the cross too, Cain struck Abel.

From such a standpoint, the world was sown. And thus, passing through the age of the right-wing world and the left-wing world, in the end it is absorbed into Christianity, and one world is achieved, I say. A world of reality centered on the ideal is achieved, I say. For that, the parents of humankind must without fail come again and liquidate this history of sin and evil. That is achieved not upon the cross of death. It must be achieved without dying, I say. Centered on the two worlds of today, a fight breaks out like the fight in which the Israelite people and Rome fought each other. With the heart of restoring Cain and Abel in Adam’s family, one must hang up the cross and fight. In this fight, unless the thief on the right sets up such a standard of spirit—in other words, unless the standard that Abel won is set up—Jesus cannot go to the heavenly kingdom, I say.

Without indemnifying this standard, one cannot restore all the way to the original place, I say. Because Jesus, in the fight of the thief on the right and the thief on the left centered on the cross, became one with the thief on the right and grasped a foundation of victory, he could enter paradise.

Because Jesus won there, centered on today’s Christianity, which inherited that bunch of keys of victory, one must subjugate the Cain-type world. Today’s Cain-type world is the materialist view of history, of the thief-on-the-left type, and the Abel-type worldview is the spiritualist view of history, of the thief-on-the-right type. Because the thief on the left, upon the cross, denied, saying there is no God, a result as today’s has appeared. In other words, it is divided into the Communist world and the democratic world, and that fight has continued until now, I say.

Because Jesus of two thousand years ago fought the satanic world facing the number 40, the number of separation from Satan—that is, facing the age of 40—the Communist world formed in 1917 began to split from 1957, 40 years later. The ideological dispute between Communist China and the Soviet Union began in 1957.

Thus, the tradition sown by the fall is reaped worldwide now, I say. The standard of a worldwide foundation that won in the spiritual fight of the two thousand years since Jesus was manifested upon this earth, and the democratic world was founded, and in confrontation with it the Communist world appeared. That is, the stage of the worldwide fight of the democratic world and the Communist world has broken out.

The Present Age, in Which the Lord at the Second Advent Must Come

Then, when the democratic world and the Communist world confront each other like this, who must come?

The Lord at the Second Advent, who becomes the true ancestor of humankind, must come. That is, the third Adam comes, I say. Do you understand? That one comes upon such a worldwide standard as the ancestor of humankind. Because Jesus came and resolved spiritually but did not resolve physically the fight that had not been resolved before Jesus, and because there remains the task that must be resolved, embracing both spirit and flesh, centered on a worldwide dominion, he comes as the third Adam to find the seat of the true ancestor. And that one comes without fail from a standpoint standing in for God and comes at the time when the two worlds—the democratic world and the Communist world—fight.

But the Communists say there is no God. Once, at a session of the UN General Assembly, Khrushchev of the Soviet Union rudely took off his shoe and made a speech striking the podium. Hearing that, the Teacher said, “You fellows! Until now you have occupied the highest authority, but from now on you must come down.” Is it not set to be so?

Just as, when Jesus suffered upon the cross, the thief on the right defended God and Jesus to the thief on the left, in this age too, people like the thief on the right must appear and, facing people like the thief on the left, tell them of God’s love. And thus one must raise a new movement crying out, “God has no sin. Because God has labored until now, all are living.” The Unification Church must become the center and lead such a movement, I say.

And thus, toward the Communist Party, one must refute as wrong the thought by which they reject God’s existence and face and fight them. Standing in the standpoint of the thief on the right, one must fight, representing the world, I say. Winning here, one must become like when, in Jesus’ day, the thief on the right, by becoming one with Jesus, entered paradise, I say.

Now, unless the Kingdom of Heaven centered on our Unification Church is built, all the historic facts until now become a lie. Is it set so? Is it set that it must not be so? “It is set so.” That is why our wish is “unification.”

Centered on anti-communist thought, one must stand at the head of Korea and go forth. And thus one must make it so that all people can clearly realize that God is surely alive, and that unless one becomes one centered on this God, the world cannot be set in order, and a new world—that is, the Kingdom of Heaven—cannot be achieved upon the earth, I say.

Today’s Christianity was formed by passing through blood-drenched struggle and blood-drenched persecution to build a good world. In the same way, the Unification Church, centered on such history until now, must go forth without stopping the pioneer’s road. This present age is rising to the stage where one must present the standard that can resolve not only national problems but even global problems, I say. Do you understand, or not? “We understand.”

Then, placed in such a standpoint, will you become the thief on the right or the thief on the left? “The right.” And you women here, which will you become? “The right.” The answer is not brisk. You must put strength in your fist and say, “The right!” Let me ask once more. Is it the right or the left? “The right.” Once taught, who cannot do it? Even a mute would do it all. Let me ask the men here once. Is it the right or the left? “The right.” You resolved well, putting strength in your lower belly, but it seems a bit off—seeing the beat does not match…. (Laughter.)

Now we are placed in the last day of the end, in which we collide with the Communist world that cries out that God is dead. You must know that this is the time to cross over upon the road of the cross. They, the same as two thousand years ago, are now proclaiming worldwide that God is dead. It is the same as when, two thousand years ago, they mocked Jesus, saying, “So, having become king of the Jews, to die like this at best….”

The same as Jesus, who, receiving all sorts of persecution from the Jews, bore the cross and pitifully vanished away, God’s fate too came to such a pass; but God carries on the providence of resurrection from there.

Human History, Which Proceeds According to a Formula

Then how will the providence proceed hereafter?

You are learning, through the Principle, what the Teacher resolves upon and practices. Hereafter, 40 years later, without a doubt, a different world will come. Let us see when it is about the year 2000, I say. The Teacher will live until then and wipe out entirely these Communist enemy fellows. All of you, does that feel good or bad? “Good.” How good is it?

Human history does not just flow any old way. It does not flow meaninglessly like the sleep-talk you do while sleeping. It proceeds according to a formula, I say. So the time comes without fail when a new foundation of hope is manifested before humankind.

From this perspective, the providence centered on Cain and Abel in Adam’s family failed, and the providence centered on Jesus could not escape the road of the cross, but the road of spiritual salvation was opened. That, centered on that spiritual foundation, a single origin that can achieve the original world must appear upon this earth, is a conclusion based on historic necessity—you must know. Then, to form that family you long for, what must be done? Because you do not know the method, come to the Unification Church and learn, I say.

Because the Teacher knows about all such problems, though he may not be known in the East, he is quite famous in Western society. When I say I am going somewhere, they already know it and come seeking me in every place I go. Because they come seeking me so bothersomely, it has reached the point where I cannot even do my own work, I say. And yet, if in Korea they do not uphold Teacher Moon, the time will come when this nation suffers disgrace and shame.

Today too Mr. Peter Koch has come here, but foreigners are recklessly saying this and that about the Teacher; to the Teacher, such fellows appear as nothing but witless fellows, mad fellows. Among the established believers who revile us, many say, “The Unification Church does its work well….” Each time we move, an event that makes their hearts pound will break out for them.

Now the time has come when big events break out frequently centered on our Unification Church, I say. If such a thing broke out even just once a month, it would become a big problem for the Republic of Korea.

These days, world-famous spirit mediums are coming seeking the Teacher often. To the Teacher, even if anyone did research to deny God’s existence, there are all too many historic accounts that cannot be refuted. Many events could make the people of the whole world topple over in astonishment, but I am not speaking of them. Why? Because if a rumor spreads that at some feast-house such-and-such has been prepared, thieves come. Do you understand what I mean? Though one has carefully prepared a feast without equal, if a rumor spreads first, it is easy to be robbed, I say.

For All Human Beings to Be Spiritually Reborn

That is why in the Unification Church it seems there is something and also seems there is nothing, I say. Some people, coming to see this place, may say, “Why is the world headquarters in this state?” but even so the Teacher feels good. It is because it is good for the Teacher to work. Even such people, once they come here and live together, come to know the true reason.

Last time, going around some forty-odd nations of the world, the Teacher met many so-called big names, and they are all doing this work as standard-bearers holding the standard of building a great house and saving the world. If anyone said to the Teacher’s face, “Why is the Unification Church in this state?” I would open my eyes wide and give him a slap of the fist.

Thus the teacher of the Unification Church is a person who seems knowable and also seems unknowable, I say. Some person, seeing the Teacher, says, “He looks like a fierce beast, a puma; the build is manly enough, and he talks plausibly.” But such things are all nothing but the outer. Though Unification believers have, for decades until now, attended the Teacher closely, they do not know the Teacher’s true figure. They do not know what kind of person he is, I say. Why? Because the Teacher, raising global problems, keeps growing bigger.

So they cannot but say, “Aigo! I never dreamed the Teacher was such a person.” This is not my boasting. I wish I could boast more here…. In fact, until now I have lived unable to boast. Like a tiger with a broken back, I only stayed still. I have lived like a tiger that, its back broken, only takes naps.

Now, to greet the Lord who comes again, one must become the thief on the right. It must be so, right? “Yes.” For that, you must be hung on the cross…. At that time, one must become the person on the right who is hung on the cross, I say. Let us become the person on the right who can attend to that one who comes, find out what his desire is, and make him glad in every place he goes. Do you wish to do so? Are you prepared to be able to do so? But now the situation is a no-man’s-land. You must know that you are now in such a state.

Because, through the fall of the human ancestors, the origin of the true family went wrong, Jesus sought to restore this family centered on spirit and flesh, but failed to achieve it all and set out on this road only from the standpoint of the spiritual parent. That is why Jesus, who must achieve the spiritual world, had to come as the bridegroom, and the Holy Spirit had to come as the bride, I say.

Heaven symbolizes the man, and earth symbolizes the woman. Then, when going up to Heaven, which symbolizes the man, why must the Holy Spirit that was there come to earth?

The fall was done by man and woman together. But Jesus, who represented the man, came to earth and, walking the ridge-road of death, turned back the history in which Satan the archangel betrayed Heaven, and set up a foundation of spiritual victory; but the spirit of Eve, the spirit that can become the Mother Spirit, has, until now, not had a foundation of having subjugated Satan by coming to this satanic world. That is, equipping the qualification of a victor who subjugated Satan, one goes up to Heaven, which symbolizes the man, and the Mother Spirit symbolizes the earth—that is, the female spirit, the Holy Spirit—must come to this earth, I say.

Originally, taking Heaven as the husband and earth as the wife, this couple should have faced each other on the plane and consulted; but by the fall, Heaven and earth were divided. To break down the boundary line between Heaven and earth that Satan occupies, God has, until now, developed Christianity. Then in Christianity they say that unless one receives the Holy Spirit, one cannot obtain salvation; what is that Holy Spirit?

It refers precisely to the Mother Spirit. Because the mother fell first—that is, because the mother sowed the sin—the mother must set it in order. So the Holy Spirit, who is the mother, must come to this earth and do the labor of delivery.

Because, through the fall of the human ancestors, wrong children were born upon this earth, the true spiritual father and the true spiritual mother must meet each other with the heart of love. And thus, only when, breaking through the wall of the enemy and removing Satan’s authority, one enters the state where one can receive the essence of love, do all human beings become spiritually reborn.

Without the love of mother and father, there is no law by which a new life is born. What Christianity calls resurrection and rebirth refers precisely to being born again through the bond of the spiritual parents. Because Christians until now did not know such content well, they do not clearly know about the Holy Spirit, I say.

The Work of the Lord Who Comes

That is why Christianity is a religion that came out of gazing at a spiritual worldview, a spiritual Kingdom of Heaven, centered on the spiritual parents.

The original Kingdom of Heaven must, turning back this world that Adam and Eve lost upon this earth, achieve the standard that was won spiritually, not vertically, but on the plane.

Unless a world on the earth is achieved in which the true mother and the true father can give and receive love on the plane, one cannot fundamentally restore all these things that went wrong, I say. Seen thus, the natural conclusion comes out that the Lord who comes again must come to this earth wearing a physical body.

Then what must the Lord who comes again do hereafter?

He must restore the standard of the two sons, Cain and Abel, in Adam’s family, and of the thief on the right and the thief on the left in Jesus’ day. Looking at the world now, just as Cain killed Abel, communism is striking the democratic world first.

In World War I and World War II too, until now, the nation on the evil side invaded the nation on the good side first. And now, after World War II too, the nation on the evil side invades the nation on the good side first.

All humankind living in this present age, placed in such a tragic situation, must receive God’s teaching and subjugate the world of evil. When the Communist world submits to the democratic world, the unification of the world is achieved. If they do not submit, one must subjugate them with conviction.

Today the person called Mr. Moon of the Republic of Korea may appear as a person trying to raise a revolution, but if, after Liberation, Dr. Rhee had listened to my words, the Communist Party would already at that time have been utterly wiped out. But because that providential history was prolonged, this nation became a nation that failed even to join the UN, the center of the world, and, cast out, is floundering—you must clearly know this fact.

At some time, the new movement by which this nation can raise the banner again and step forth breaks out from the Unification Church. Until now this nation, this people, has inflicted all sorts of persecution on Teacher Moon of the Unification Church. But I do not regard this nation, this people, as an enemy.

If, by my alone perishing, my alone failing to be saved, my alone being sacrificed, the sorrowful history of this nation, this people, can change into a history of joy, I will gladly accept everything.

If these people, who grew up in a wasteland and lived sorrowfully and ill-fated, can greet one day of bright light through my being sacrificed and my alone being persecuted, I will bear whatever hardship a thousand times, ten thousand times.

Why has this nation, upon which, during World War II, through God’s protection, not a single bomb fell, become so devastated?

Unification Believers Are a Company for Inheriting the Foundation of Traditional History

We must become fighters in confronting and fighting the enemy. It is because these people have walked a road at odds entirely with the purpose, desire, and wish Heaven wishes. Because it is a nation, these people, placed in a fate of having to bear a worldwide mission, must clearly know that the fortune of the world will again crowd into Korea. Do you understand? “Yes.”

The present Vietnam problem is hereafter transferred to become Korea’s problem, I say. So, to overcome the crisis from the Communist Party from this coming June to October, we must pray with a life-and-death resolve. That the Teacher finished the world tour so quickly and returned is because there was such a problem.

From the first day of June, embracing this nation, this people, we must, in the stead of the ancestors of the past, reflect on and repent of all the historic sins and evils they did wrongly. To bear this present worldwide fortune and go forth and greet the heavenly fortune we hope for hereafter, we must, for the sake of this nation and this world, wear sackcloth and repent—you must know this fact.

And thus one must find the point at which this nation can greet the heavenly fortune again. For that, even in moving, we must move for the sake of God.

Until now, what denomination has there been that testified to God’s being alive and stood forth resolved upon death for the sake of God more than the Communist Party?

One must become a denomination that, standing on the front line for the sake of the purpose Heaven set up, can confront the enemy without minding the road of death. Otherwise, the various denominations of the world will perish.

When the Teacher set out on this road, had Christianity received the Teacher, the world would not have become like today. Had it become so, at this present age I would be the envy of no one in the world. You must know well about the Teacher of the Unification Church. That the Teacher says such words to you is not to console your feelings for a moment. The Teacher standing here is not such a person. He is a Teacher who worries over how to handle the world, over what one must do to be able to handle the world. In the midst of that, I have come out holding the conviction, “The world will surely become like this.”

You have, for decades until now, believed and followed the Teacher’s words. Where lies the reason? The Teacher once said, “The Communist Party will not last eight generations.” There is nothing wrong. Because you have seen such a clear result, you follow the Teacher until now. That what the Teacher says matches the movement of the world, and that all worldwide events match our movement, is not something that happens any old way. Until now this world did not know. But hereafter this world will surely know.

Seen from this standpoint, today’s Christianity is all dead, I say. It stands in the same standpoint as the disciples who fled when Jesus died.

At that time, what did the disciples do?

The standpoint of Jesus, who even upon the cross received the mockery of the thief on the left, is precisely the standpoint of today’s Unification Church. All the denominations that hung out the signboard of Christianity were formed by the disciples who fled and then received the Holy Spirit—what were they doing? They hold no standard whatever by which to testify to and defend God’s existence facing the Communist Party.

Where went the Israelite people who should have followed Jesus, and, out of nowhere, just as the thief on the right defended Jesus, a single denomination called the Unification Church has appeared and, to save Christianity, testifies to God’s being alive, and, resolved to lay down life for the sake of God and go gladly even the road of death, has until now carried on such a movement? All the work the Unification Church has carried on until now cannot but be, in God’s sight, a merit.

The Teacher has, until building up such a tradition and merit, fought, giving his whole life.

If one digs up the Teacher’s past, there are many sorrowful accounts over which even a man like wood and stone cannot but wail, from passing through the han-filled ridges of history. Bearing such a sorrowful history, I have come out resolved upon victory.

When driven into the sorrowful shade, not as a man who vanishes there, but gazing at the bright sunlight, I have fought, looking toward one day when I can pour out my conviction facing heaven and earth. Such a day will without fail come. When it does not come, I will make that day come even by the force I have.

Why did you come to this place?

You gathered precisely to inherit such a foundation of traditional history. You are a company gathered to bear the common responsibility of following the road the master goes and handing over the traditional thought the master holds before the world, I say. That is why, being pushed around and driven off in Korea, you must not become a company that collapses.

Even if God tries to kill you, you must not die. Even if you die a hundred times, you must come to life and resolve that han.

One must fight even by setting up a successor in one’s own later generation. You must bear in mind that we Unification believers must go with the conviction that only after seeing the enemy company submit to one’s own descendants can one rest in the spiritual world.

We, Who Must Set the World in Order

Until now we have poured out the han of history and resented the wrongs of all the ancestors of history.

If we are such selves, we must bear responsibility for and seize the historic task of this present age. To do so, one must clearly settle the problem: one must bear responsibility for oneself, the action one must take by heavenly command oneself, I say.

Not minding even one’s own life and death, one must be able to stand in the standpoint of the thief on the right and defend the Lord who went the road of death. Even though anyone opposes and anyone resents, that does not become a problem, I say. It is all only like snow that melts on a spring day.

What is it that one can resolve upon even risking death and can resolve upon with one’s own body becoming a seed of life? Only that Jesus is the true one and that God is the true one.

You must know that the time when one can die for the sake of God’s truth prepares for me the origin of the greatest happiness.

You must know that only this becomes the standard of victory by which the thief on the right can push open the gate of the Kingdom of Heaven and come forth, and, breaking through this authority of darkness, can enter paradise boldly together with Jesus. That is why our Unification Church today must roll up its sleeves and step forth before the Communist Party of the world, I say.

What I felt when I went to Japan last time was that the young family members of our Unification Church and the members of the Principle Research Association were no more than a small number. With that degree of personnel, one cannot stand against the Communist Party, I say.

The Communist Party has already infiltrated the ignorant masses and entered the stage where they can put their plans into action, and the reality was such that, facing such a Communist Party, one could not but tell such a small company to embrace God and block them with life-bombs, was appalling. But we must, without fail, go.

Even if we come upon the road of death, we must go together with Heaven, and even if we fall, we must fall together with Heaven. We have the authority of resurrection by which, even falling, we do not perish. That is why, even falling and dying, we can experience the grace of resurrection, the authority of resurrection, and the joy of resurrection, so, for us who were born as descendants of the fallen ancestors, that cannot but be the point of hope of one generation, the point of hope of one generation, I say. When the Teacher stopped in Japan during this world tour, I told the Japanese family members, “Go; even though you lie down and die in the enemy’s crucible, go forth with the same fidelity as the thief on the right, who, together with Heaven, could console Jesus and go.”

Now we have before us a world situation that cannot be set in order. At such a time, to resolve this is our mission, and one must firmly know that it is the road we must go, I say.

Today, if each of us puts a hand on the chest, anyone will feel the beating sound of the heart. Listening to that sound, one must resolve.

On the day the beating of the heart ceases, where will I fall?

Will it be a death God can rejoice over, or a death He grieves over, or will I be a human being who vanishes together with the grudge of this people?—one must resolve, placing these problems before oneself. Such resolve must not end with just once or twice. Each time misfortune befalls the people, each time one feels the despair-filled han of the people, one cannot but become such a man and such a woman as can resolve a thousand times, ten thousand times, with a heart pierced to the marrow.

Because Heaven’s thousand-year account has, until now, not been resolved, we must clearly know that we are not in a standpoint of being dragged along by our own one-year account or ten-year account or lifetime account, I say. Bearing in mind that we are a figure that has received a solemn heavenly command, we must know how precious the road I must go today is and how grave the responsibility I must bear today is.

Today we must embrace and cross over the three-thousand-ri peninsula. We must bear in mind that the task of finding back North Korea without fail and unifying the land of eight provinces remains to today’s us, I say.

The Road Unification Believers Must Go

Until now, these people have mocked us and inflicted all sorts of oppression. Even when we did the anti-communist movement, it was so. But if they want to oppress, let them, I say. Even so, we must do this work until we die.

When you die, if there is a descendant of yours to receive your last words, you must fight with the resolve and conviction by which you can, with eyes wide open, leave the last words, “Unless you follow this last will and succeed in this work, I cannot die.” This is the road Unification believers must go. You must know that unless you do so, you have no face before Heaven.

We must realize the situation and heart of Jesus, who, coming to save all the people of the world, gazed at the courtyard of Nazareth. At that time the courtyard, the mountain, and the nature Jesus gazed at were bonded to him in heart, but there was not one person who became his friend and, holding a heart that could melt bone and flesh together with him, would go even the road of death together. That is why he could not but become a pitiable Jesus—you must know this appalling fact.

You have followed the Teacher until now; for what did you follow out? Did you follow out because you longed for the Teacher’s face? Did you follow out because the Teacher is a rich man with much money? It would not be so. It is because you have borne the mission of resolving God’s han, the han of the Cosmos, and preparing that foundation of the desire humankind so awaited.

Furthermore, it is because there remains a road of fate that anyone must bear common responsibility for and go even in death. It is because we, knowing such a thing first, keenly felt the mission of having to cultivate it and go even in death, that we followed out.

Hereafter, even if the waves of darkness, the surging billows of the enemy, block our road ahead, we must break through and go forth. Even if the enemy’s sword and gun block our road ahead, we must smash through and go forth, I say.

You must know the sorrowful situation of Jesus upon the cross. There, receiving the consolation of the thief on the right, Jesus said, “Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” How mortifying and enraging words are those?

Where went the Jewish believers chosen and set up over four thousand years, and where went the twelve disciples who, resolved upon death, followed before Jesus, who, in the blood-drenched three-year public course of struggle, was driven into a pitiable plight and held han?

They were in a standpoint of having to share joy and sorrow with Jesus even in the pushed-around and criticized miserable place and go even the road of death together. Who among them knew that they must not do so to Jesus, who was in a place none of them looked toward? You must know why Jesus was so lonely.

If, at that time, even that thief on the right had not been there, humankind could by nothing find the road of salvation, and would have no face to stand before Heaven, I say. Because the murderous thief on the right opened that road, Jesus could at least go to paradise. That is, because he became a co-worker before the road Jesus went and offered words of consolation, it became the motive by which Jesus could be resurrected in the human world—you must know. That is why you too must resolve to go that road.

Reflect your face in the mirror and gaze at it clearly. For whom must this eye see, and because of whom is this nose formed so, and why was this mouth made, and because of whom was this face made, and for what did my body grow so big?

For whom do I exist?

You must think well of such things. When one comes to think that I am living not merely to resolve the han of the people, but to resolve even the han of the world and, going further, even the han of God, a life of wailing that one cannot suppress must continue.

You must know that you must become people who, lifting your eyes and gazing at Heaven, at this nation and this people, and gazing at the ignorant and confused world, can, with a straining breast, resolve upon tomorrow’s hope and victory. Such a clan is seeking, the people are seeking, the nation and the world are seeking, I say.

Unification Believers, Who Must Inherit the Teacher’s Legacy

Each time I go about the various places of the world, when I see foreigners grasp the Teacher and shed tears, along with gladness, I also become sorrowful in heart.

Among countless people, from where did the bond by which they long for me and can shed tears when I leave come? It came from six thousand years ago, I say.

Because Adam and Eve, bearing responsibility for the whole of sin, shed tears as they left God’s bosom, so that the human history divided in the despair of that time can meet in the hope of joy, there must without fail arise a sea of weeping upon this earth. Otherwise, one cannot indemnify and restore it, I say.

Crossing beyond the people and the nation and transcending the cultures of East and West, one must resolve that when that one goes to the crossroads of tears, I too will go, and when that one dies, I too will die. Why so? The Teacher is a person who has nothing. He is a person who, having until now received only criticism from society, wears the name-tag of a heretic before the Korean people and has nothing whatever to look to.

If there is only one thing to hold up, it is precisely this mind that can wail before humankind, which cannot wail for the sake of God, and the mind that can be beaten before one who tries not to be beaten—only that. This is the property I have equipped, and also the legacy I must hand down. Other than that, there is nothing. I have nothing but the mind that can, unknown to others, shed tears for the people, and, unknown to others, agonize for the world. This is the legacy I will hand over to you.

The road you go is the road on which I am pushed around and driven off. Though the signboard of heresy is hung on you, you must go that road to set up a new history. You must cultivate the road to resurrect the tradition. Here I have not died. I can neither retreat nor think other thoughts. I cannot even doubt. Today too I must go. Even though I long for my beloved wife and children, I must go.

Even if they betray me, I must go. Whatever anyone says, I must go. You may have the leeway to be able to grow weary, but I am a pitiable person who cannot even do that. Because God is in a more pitiable standpoint than I, I must console God. You must know how pitiable God is, who must be consoled through me, who is in such a plight.

In this one corner of history that no one can take responsibility for, one must run mightily toward the world and, until this evil world is overturned, keep raising the motive and raising the situation. And thus, only when God and I and the world become one can it be said one has won.

Knowing that I am a self that must be connected to the background of this world, one must resolve upon tomorrow’s mission. This world needs such an I and also longs for it, I say. Otherwise the world all perishes. It dies away.

If there is an environment in which one can become the thief on the right in death, we must go of our accord. But the standard our doctrine teaches is that if there is a road by which one can go without dying, one must go that road. Because it was not the Teacher’s desire that you be set up in the place of death, I have, until now, given my whole life to cultivate the foundation.

Now the road you go is not such a road of sorrow. That road of sorrow has all passed, I say. The fate of sorrow that coiled about the cross has vanished, and the time when one was placed before the banner of opposition wherever one went has passed, I say. That is why you must now fulfill the responsibility of inheriting.

You are standing in the standpoint of Cain and Abel. To become Abel, one must subjugate Cain. To Abel such responsibility remains, I say.

You must clearly know that if you cannot do this responsibility in one lifetime, your road to go is to set up a descendant and, passing through several generations, go having set up the condition of having done this.

Be a Guide Before All the People of the World

How much have you prayed for the sake of the Teacher, and how much have you wished to see him?

If you truly wished to see him and truly prayed and truly yearned, it is not merely a matter of seeing this body. To worry over what tomorrow’s figure is and to be able to resolve what was knotted, we longed for each other and have thus met again.

Knowing that the Teacher is in a plight where he cannot tell you, who have met thus, to rest, you must console the Teacher.

Having come, one must again take up the whip, I say. I know that you have grown weary walking this road until now. I know too that some are despairing, saying they can go no further. But you must know that the fate of the nation and the fate of the world are calling us. Now the time is all too urgent. Though we are of a shabby figure, at such a point we must become people who can at least deliver the news that the time has come. When the one who comes behind sees that the one going ahead is not suffering hardship, he too tries not to suffer hardship.

You must know that now in the world there are many people wandering, searching for truth. We must play the role of a guide before them. The work a traffic policeman does is to guide the running cars, “Go to the right, go to the left.” Such work is exceedingly important to the person going on the road. It is as important as a matter of life and death. Whether the purpose is attained or not is decided there. Therefore, we, not doing other work, must do work like what a traffic policeman does, I say.

It is not that one must shout there and do some propaganda. It is that, becoming a traffic policeman, one must show and guide them, “You must go this road; you must follow me; if you do as I do, you live.” That is why you must understand the Teacher, who, even having finished the tour course and returned, is placed in a standpoint of being unable to tell you good stories.

From now on I will drive you mercilessly. Until now the Teacher has borne responsibility and come out, but from now on you must bear responsibility and go forth.

Until now I dragged you out, but from now on I will beat you and drive you from behind, I say. It is because you must fulfill responsibility. Unless you enter a situation of having to fulfill the responsibility by which you can indemnify, it will not do, I say.

Until now, centered on the nation and the people, we developed the operation from the provinces and came up to Seoul. Knowing that the time has come when that operation must now be re-established, one must do one’s best. Do you understand? “Yes.”

This year we have again resolved to do a total advance. Knowing that you are in such a situation, you must liquidate the han-filled ridges. Not by death upon the road of the cross, but living, one must achieve a world that can be left to later generations.

Now one has entered the sphere of an age in which one can achieve it with the authority of substantial resurrection, not the grace of resurrection the thief on the right received at the crossroads of death. Therefore, because in this age, if one fights, one can win a hundred battles and a hundred victories, you must know that you must again bear responsibility for this worldwide mission and go forth, I say.

A Company That Goes the Road It Must Go

So, on returning this time, I thought I must reorganize the International Federation for Victory Over Communism, reorganize the Principle Research Association, and reorganize all the organizations entirely. It is because the time has come when this movement must be unfolded worldwide. Such work no one in the Republic of Korea can do. But we do it, I say.

And because the present UN is Cain-type, one must now make an Abel-type UN. So let the responsible people of the Republic of Korea take charge of the Republic of Korea, I say. Here one must make the road by which the Republic of Korea can go to the world. Because the Teacher knows where the Republic of Korea must go, he is doing such work that others cannot even dream of. There are people who, seeing such a Teacher, mock him as a madman, but whether he is a madman or not, one will know by watching.

When we formed the Victory Over Communism Federation too, they said the Unification Church was such-and-such, but knowing that we are a company that absolutely will not perish, one must go the road one must go. You understand, right? “Yes.” Therefore, we must become the thief on the right. Let those who say they will become it raise their hands. Raise them clearly.

The Teacher, perhaps because his fate is harsh, has no time to rest. Even after touring the world and returning, I have not once slept my fill. Now this has quite become a habit.

Even if I sleep at two, my eyes open at five. Even if I sleep late, by dawn the next day, out of habit, I come to rise. Drowsiness comes in the daytime, but I cannot go somewhere and sleep. Then some person may say the Teacher was born so, so he likes such things; but as long as one is a human being, where is there a person who likes such things?

Where is there a person who dislikes having good things said and likes having bad things said? The Teacher too is, more than anyone, sensitive about being reviled. If one analyzes the Teacher’s feelings, it is so. (portion omitted)

The Kingdom of Heaven Is From the Family

That I am now not building a church is because I have a thought in doing so. It is because a church does not need many people.

The Kingdom of Heaven is achieved not from a church but begins from the family. It begins from the family—that is, from the bridegroom and bride, I say. Woman was born to see man, and man was born to see woman. When a baby wakes from sleep, and first opens its eyes, what it calls is “Mama.” More than a baby calls its mother, the husband must call the wife.

A person who has not called out so is a pitiable person. And the wife too must call so, more than the husband. Do you understand? One must treat each other as a couple who can be so, I say. As a couple of harmonious wedded bliss, calling each other so, one must live.

If one lives so for a thousand, ten thousand years, even growing old, one does not envy youth, I say. Hereafter, when a Blessed Family couple becomes eighty years old, the Teacher will send them on a trip around the world.

Hereafter, what will be a boast?

That one fought and won against some nation is not a boast. That the Republic of Korea repelled the Communists is not a boast. If the family perishes, the nation too perishes. That is why—from where does the Kingdom of Heaven come?

It comes from this Teacher Moon of the Unification Church. Since I found out such content, I am the authority on that work, I say. If you too wish for such a thing, you must come to me and learn. Even a person of great age, it is so.

When I went to Japan, even people fifty and sixty years old all said they would come to the Teacher and receive the Blessing. Because the memory of the Japanese police of old came to the Teacher and I felt bad when I said, “What, receive the Blessing? Do you know what the Blessing is? Do you know what kind of person I am?” they said they feel me closer than their father and mother. So they follow, so I say. All of you, is that fact believable? Then are you too? “Yes.” If the father and mother of the person who just answered had come to this place, they would feel bad. (Laughter.)

The Japanese also know about what the Unification Church’s Blessing is. Therefore, Blessed Families are set to have, hereafter, to do according to the formulaic principle.

Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is in your heart. One would think one should say the Kingdom of Heaven is in the heavenly kingdom; what is this word?

Are there women here who will be Blessed?

When the human ancestors Adam and Eve fell too, it was because of the woman, right?

That is why the woman is in a proximity where such a thing can be. She has much of the endowment by which she can be swayed by the man’s enticement, I say. Women, taken in by whatever words, if they are sweet, just giggle with delight. (Laughter.)

The True Charm of the Human Being

Unification Church women, when you go to your assigned post, do not sing the tune that there is no cream to put on the face. The groundwork must be well-formed. If you are not well-formed, you must know to feel sorry for your husband.

They say beauty is short-lived. However beautiful a woman, once she bears three or four babies, the face becomes wrinkled, and it is all over. Living, a person lives not looking at the face. One lives looking at the heart. You, whether the face is well-formed or ill-formed, if the emotion welling up from within is rich, are the world’s first-rate woman, I say.

When married, the woman must become the man’s first-rate pleasure ground, and must become his first-rate scenic spot. Try living thinking so, I say. Seeing that smiling figure, the husband cannot but smile and cannot but be delighted. And thus, when embraced tightly enough to curl even the tail, he wishes to do so for a thousand, ten thousand years, I say.

That is why the family spoken of in our ideal is achieved. Such a family has value several million times, several ten-million times, and several hundred-million times more than any family in the world. Whether it is so or not, pray before God, I say.

Generally, there is one thing Unification believers do not have, and that is money. But even if others mock, saying they live setting out only water, if they themselves just live interestingly, it is fine.

Now, that the Teacher marries many off has become a thing that does not even feel bad, but with that one still far off, I say. In the wife’s eyes, the husband must appear the highest and the foremost. In the husband’s eyes, the wife must appear so. The bond formed by first love is the highest bond.

Whatever anyone says, it is the highest. Such a thing cannot be bought even for hundreds of millions. If one can eternally hold such a world of one’s own, how splendid a thing is that! Everyone must become at least that much, I say.

The wife must follow and uphold the husband well, I say. Such a thing must not appear only in a scene of a literary work or a film. In reality, one must live so for a whole lifetime. Because the highest history and the highest culture were spilled, the Teacher, to set up such a world, to live so, came out creating a new history. Do you understand what these words mean?

The Providence of Restoration Is From the Family Standard

A man who cannot handle even one woman should die. But one must not disregard her because she is a woman. Merely saying, “My love is like this,” does not get through, I say. So one must study each other thoroughly.

You must know that, in God’s sight, it will not do to fail to live a sanctified life and to have the family unrestored.

The husband and wife of a family must be able to walk together with God. And one must follow the Teacher, I say. Digging deep and deep into a place, one must be able to live for a thousand, ten thousand years. It must become a family that can say, “God, since we are living interestingly here, be together with us here.” More than anyone, your family must be so, I say. Do you understand? Cultivate a foundation centered on God, I say.

A person always needs stimulus. Happiness is not achieved without stimulus. There must be stimulus, I say. Just as the rice one always eats is fresh in taste only when one is hungry each time one eats it, the love of husband and wife too must, in the same way, always be fresh, I say. The wife and husband, the more they see each other, must wish to see each other more and wish to be together all day long. To do so, one must do research about me and do research about God, I say.

And thus one must achieve the family Jesus longed for. In other words, one must restore to the original family that family from which God departed by Adam and Eve’s fall in the Garden of Eden. God, after making Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, delighted and longed for them to pass through the growing process of formation, growth, and perfection and form a family within God’s direct sphere of governance.

But because Adam and Eve failed to form such a family, you must, forming such a family, be able to say to God, “We have formed this family the Father wishes.” To form such a family, the man must take a wife, and the woman must go to a husband. Right? “Yes.” And to set up such a family, one must pass through the course of Restoration. But this is the problem, I say.

Then how is the providence of Restoration of Adam’s family?

Because Cain killed Abel, God worked centered on Seth in Abel’s stead. And He found and set up Noah, Seth’s descendant. Then what must Noah do? Because Adam and Eve fell and came down, one must restore and rise.

In rising, Noah must not restore and rise alone. One must restore and raise the family, I say. That is why God set up eight family members—Noah and his wife, and the three sons and their wives—and carried on a history of striking the satanic world.

Jesus, Who Failed to Set Up a Family

Then from where did Satan enter?

Looking at the background of the history in which Satan entered, he entered first through Eve, then via Adam, and then through the process of Cain killing Abel, I say. To escape from that Satan, Noah cultivated ground for 120 years in the satanic world centered on the eight family members. But Ham made a mistake. Ham, of the Cain type, failed to become one with the father. To become one, he had to subjugate Cain. He had to subjugate Ham. Then what is it that Ham did wrong here? Seeing his father naked and being ashamed, he turned his face away from the father.

That Noah did so was to fix the seat of the parents. Because Adam and Eve failed to fix the seat of the parents, it was prolonged vertically and connected all the way to Abraham. God, to indemnify and restore this vertical history horizontally and simultaneously, set up Abraham in the stead of the first son, Isaac in the stead of the second son, and Jacob in the stead of the third son.

At what time did the desire, by which God sought to restore centered on these three, come to be achieved?

It was not achieved in Noah’s time. Only in Abraham’s time, succeeding the generations of the bond of ancestors centered on Noah, was it achieved. Noah and the three sons failed to become one, but Abraham and Isaac became one. So He became the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. Because the three generations became one, it became the foundation on which Jacob could subjugate Satan and subjugate Esau. Here Esau was a person from the standpoint of Cain, whom Abel in Adam’s family had failed to subjugate.

Because Jacob subjugated Satan, the word “Israel,” which means victory, came out. And thus the God of three generations—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—came out, I say.

Then why is this done?

It is because, without cultivating such a foundation of victory, one cannot restore and rise. And thus, passing through the age of Moses, history repeated—King Saul, King David, King Solomon. Passing through King David, as the age of King Solomon ended, from his children it divided into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. Thus, divided in half into two nations, the history of Restoration was carried on.

And thus it came all the way to Jesus. Jesus too, in the end, had to walk such a course. Jacob is the central figure of the age that cultivates the foundation of the family-level providence, Moses is the central figure of the age that cultivates the foundation of the people-level providence, and Jesus had to cultivate even the foundation of the worldwide providence. That is why one must restore starting from the family standard.

Just as there were Adam’s three sons and Noah’s three sons, so it is in the worldwide providential course too. Jesus too, centered on the worldwide standard, cannot escape this principle of having to restore the family. Unless Jesus too forms a family, hangs up a worldwide condition, and wins, he cannot cultivate the foundation of worldwide victory. Centered on that family standard, he must face the Israelite people and work.

That is why Jesus, too, coming to this earth, before organizing the twelve tribes, first had to form a family. And thereafter, organizing the tribes, he had to make it into the Israelite people centered on that. Jesus was to come among a people that could be so. That is why God, through several thousand years of history, prepared the Israelite people so that they could uphold and attend the Messiah when he came.

But when the Messiah came, those people opposed him. Originally, the Messiah, coming, along with organizing the tribes, was to lead the church and, at the same time, lead the Israelite people, build the kingdom of Israel, and subjugate the Roman Empire. Then from that time the Kingdom of Heaven would have started. But this was not all achieved.

The Standpoint and Responsibility of the Twelve Disciples

Being thus pushed around, in the stead of the twelve tribes, centered on the twelve disciples, the twelve disciples had to go forth centered on Jesus’ new gospel, I say. Here Jesus becomes the parent, Judaism becomes Cain, and Jesus’ new gospel becomes Abel. Furthermore, the Israelite people become Abel, and the nations of the world become Cain.

Jesus said, “The members of your household are your foes.”

This refers to brothers within one church or one household confronting each other in a fight. That is, what came out first is Judaism, from the standpoint of Cain, and the new gospel movement centered on Jesus is in the Abel-type standpoint.

Because Cain killed Abel in Adam’s family, the current of history must stand in the standpoint of reaping as it was sown. Otherwise, there is no Restoration. That is why Jesus came to enter the place of being rejected and pushed around.

But just as Abel was killed, Jesus must not be killed, and Christianity must not be so either. But Jesus was killed, and Christianity has been killed until now. That is why Christianity became a religion of martyrdom. Thus, considering the history of Abel, receiving the attack of Cain is unavoidable.

Here, the twelve disciples, representing the re-organized history of Israel, being, as a new Israelite tribe, in the standpoint of the Cain-type children and the Abel-type Israelite clan, must be finer than all the other tribes. All the content they equip, inside and out, must be fine, and they must stand in a standard God can boast of, I say. Among Jesus’ disciples, people like Peter, James, and John were fishermen who eked out a living catching fish at the Sea of Galilee. Peter’s house was a dugout. When Jesus, facing such people, said, “Let us be together for a thousand, ten thousand years,” how pitiable and appalling it was!

What must Jesus do, not dying but living? He must do restoration through indemnity. Because such a Jesus was driven off and pushed around and died, a problem arose.

In about being pushed around like this, if the twelve disciples and the tribal heads oppose, what must be done?

To organize the tribes, there must be a family, and without a family, can it hold up? Therefore, Jesus had to form a family. Because, centered on the tribal heads, one must connect with the worldwide foundation and stretch forth; one must form a family, I say. Thus, Jesus was in a standpoint of restoring what Cain and Abel of Adam’s family did wrong and in a standpoint of restoring in the stead of the three sons in Noah’s family. That is why Jesus, to fulfill responsibility in such a standpoint centered on the Israelite people, set up as representative central figures Peter, John, and James, who did not know a single letter. How appalling a thing this is!

Blessed Families, Fulfill the Mission of the Tribal Messiah

Without these, one cannot even achieve the foundation of the family. Therefore, these must follow even to the place of death, and even in death must die together. It is the same as when the mother and father of a family are driven off as traitors and die; all their children must die with the name-tag of a traitor’s child hung on them.

Because Adam, as father, failed to do what he should have done for the son, Jesus, from the standpoint of the father, must be restored, centered on these three disciples. Therefore, that he found and set up the three disciples Peter, James, and John was to restore the three sons lost in Adam’s family. It was to find the Cain-type son. Because it fell and came down centered on the family members of Adam’s family and Noah’s family, one must restore centered on the eight family members. The Unification Church came out with such a historic mission.

Teacher Moon of the Unification Church must find and set up three disciples. Since he found three disciples, just as Jesus came to this earth and sought a family and the Israelite people, one must find the clan, the tribe. A unified tribe must come forth, I say. That is why the Teacher, laboring during July of 1960, organized the tribe. During this period he first found and set up twelve people. Centered on this condition, this tribe is achieved.

To indemnify and restore that Jesus, seeking his twelve disciples, sought to stand in for the three ages from Adam’s family through Noah’s family to Jacob’s family but failed to achieve the purpose, he set up the 36 Couples. Thus he came to connect it. Thus the Teacher has done nothing, not even one thing, in a slipshod way.

Though the eight family members of Noah’s family were found as the central family, this is a family that fell and came down from the satanic world. So there are no direct sons and daughters. Those direct sons and daughters are set up centered on three families. The three families thus found and set up are in a standpoint standing in for Adam’s family, Noah’s family, and Jesus’ family, but are families connected with the world. And, seen centered on God, the first family represents the age as Adam, the second family as Jesus, and the third family as the Lord at the Second Advent. That is why this was set up as an indemnity condition for restoring the world from the family.

This condition is the same as finding, from the family, the clan, people, nation, and world, centered on Jesus’ age. And these three sons are the same as the angelic world. It is indemnifying, as a standard by which one can eternally attend, that Lucifer among the angels failed to submit to Adam.

Next, one must indemnify the three ages of Adam, Jesus, and the Lord at the Second Advent. That is, one must indemnify all the ages of Adam that Cain opposed, the age of Jesus that Judaism in the Cain-type standpoint opposed, and the age of the Second Advent that Christianity opposes, I say. Here, unless one sets up the condition by which the spiritual world holds substance—that is, the condition of subjugating both spirit and flesh—there is no Restoration, I say. Even though one is restored, this is no more than the indemnity content for restoring the fallen world and does not become the standpoint of direct children.

In our Unification Church, centered on the Teacher’s family, over the three years from 1960, we achieved inside and out the family Jesus failed to find in the three-year public course and fixed the foundation of the Four Position Foundation. That is why the Blessed Families could be set up.

From now on, centered on the Blessed Families, the tribe comes to be achieved. Therefore, you must fulfill the mission as a tribal Messiah. The church hereafter is achieved, centered on the tribal head. Those who have been Blessed are all tribal heads. You understand, right?

Hereafter, in our Unification Church, offering worship too must be done in the form of a report, not in the form of a sermon. The content of the report must be something that the family can boast of. Therefore, the whole family must come and offer worship. And, seeing the family that did well, one models oneself upon it, and, seeing the family that did poorly, one guides it to do well. And thus let us build the family Kingdom of Heaven. Y

ou must clearly know that hereafter, unless one first achieves the family Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth is not achieved, I say.

The Three Children of Faith Must Without Fail Be Set Up

But what must be noted and passed over here is that, just as Jesus set up Peter, James, and John, whom he could take up to the place of death in the Garden of Gethsemane, you too, without cultivating such a foundation, cannot bear sons and daughters and love them.

If you do not do so, you go against the Principle. Just as the archangel served from the time Adam was created, I must serve these three children from the time the baby is in the womb after I have been Blessed, until they are born and receive the Blessing. This is to indemnify and restore the archangel’s failure to protect and nurture Adam and Eve until they married.

Only when this content is completely restored is the standard decided by which you can expel Satan within your bloodline. This is the Principle of the Unification Church. History is so, I say. The Teacher’s words fit exactly. This was not done in some rough-reckoning way. Therefore, now the time has come to do witnessing activity centered on the family.

Why, in the second seven-year course, did the Teacher tour the world and give the Blessing?

It was to indemnify Jesus’ failure, coming as the second Adam, to accomplish a worldwide mission. So, representing the world, I set up the 43 Couples. This matched the number forty in the same standpoint as the four-thousand-year standard up to Jesus’ time, and by touring twenty-one nations, I matched the number twenty-one. The Teacher returned having set up such indemnity conditions.

Hereafter we must go forward centered on the four nations that are worldwide holy ground: Korea, Japan, America, and Germany. Here, Japan and Germany were on Satan’s side in the Second World War; how, then, did they become peoples blessed on Heaven’s side?—You must know this. Germany and Japan achieved a worldwide revival after the war. That means those nations were set to receive the Blessing.

Why is that? When the Unification Church was opposed worldwide and opposed by the established church in Korea, in those nations they did not oppose it. Had the established church welcomed the Unification Church, Korea’s revival today would be no problem at all. The thought of the Principle would enter nearly a billion people of the world, and riding that road, the wealth of the world would gather into Korea, I say.

The established church’s opposition to the Unification Church does not stop at opposing one man, Teacher Moon of the Unification Church. A historic problem is bound up here as well. What is a miniature of the democratic world is Korea, and what is a miniature of the communist world is also Korea. Therefore, worldwide events break out in this Korea.

England, Which Lost the Position of the Eve Nation

In Jesus’ day, did the whole nation of Israel and the whole of Judaism oppose him? They did not. A few priests and scribes in Jerusalem opposed him and judged Jesus away. The provincial Judaism was in a state of not even knowing that Jesus had come.

How could they know of an event accomplished in a short period?

But because the responsible ones representing the people of the Heaven-side nation erred and killed Jesus, the fate of that nation and of the whole Israelite people became miserable. So they could not but receive indemnity for two thousand years.

Originally, England was to become the Eve nation and America the Adam nation. But these two nations failed to meet the standard by which they could lead the democratic world.

If the Unification Church now were a Unification Church that the Republic of Korea liked, and if the Teacher were a Korean who liked the Republic of Korea, why would he receive persecution?

Until now, the Teacher has become a nation unrelated to God. But the Teacher is cultivating a foundation in the Republic of Korea centered on a new problem with God.

Originally, England is the Eve nation. From 1960, the problem arose in Japan and England of princes and princesses marrying commoners. This age has become so, I say. All such worldwide events are set to fit by the Principle. And that England lost the position of the Eve nation to Japan is because Christianity opposed it.

Teacher Moon of the Unification Church was also driven to North Korea by Christianity. It was from there that he cultivated the foundation. The Unification Church is from a standpoint like a gentile religion.

If the purpose of this Unification Church is God’s purpose, it ought to be centered on Christianity; why is it not so?

Because Christianity was made by Cain-type Judaism, an Abel-type Christianity must come out. This Abel-type Christianity must without fail come out of the gentile—that is, the enemy—world.

To fulfill the promise, one must go to the enemy world and return. Jacob too, having received the blessing, went to the land of Haran and returned; the Israelite people too had to go to Egypt and return. From Egypt they had to return again to Canaan. That the Teacher entered North Korea is a history the same as such a migration breaking out, I say. Because Teacher Moon of the Unification Church entered and returned from North Korea, the Unification Church became a gentile religion. It is because the first foundation was seized away from the satanic world. So the Unification Church comes out blessing the gentiles.

Because the individual too stood in that standpoint, the family too stood in that standpoint, and the nation too stood in that standpoint, Japan and America, which were enemies within the democratic sphere, came to confront each other. And by coming to stand in that standpoint, America came to be in the standpoint of the archangel. Because the archangel must raise Adam and Eve until they are Blessed, America, from such a standpoint, has until now helped the revival of Japan and Germany. America, confronting Soviet communism on Satan’s side, indemnified and restored its responsibility and thereby, over the twenty years after the Second World War, enabled Japan and Germany to achieve a worldwide revival.

The Time to Set Up the Tradition of Restoration Centered on the Family

From now on, Japan and Germany will surge into a cultural world surpassing America. That God blessed Japan and Germany was not merely so that they alone might eat well and live well. He blessed them so that hereafter, on the anti-communist front, they would stand at the head in smashing communism. And thus Adam, Eve, and the archangel, becoming a trinity, must fulfill a joint responsibility in smashing the world’s communism.

Because they fail to fulfill that responsibility, Korea teaches them and does this work, I say. Centered on the Principle, Japan, Germany, and America, together with the peoples of the world, must carry out a movement to overthrow communism. The fight that must connect all of this is what we do from now.

The problem is how to connect and resolve it, reaching out to America, Japan, and, going further, even Germany. Here, the Adam nation, Korea, and Germany, which stand from the standpoint of a Satan-side nation, both stand opposed to communism. That they thus confront communism is all done according to God’s plan. Therefore, on the day Korea and Germany hereafter unfold the anti-communist movement centered on God’s purpose and bind the world into one, communism will vanish from upon this earth, and the world will become a palace of peace.

Seen by this principle, this world is, outwardly, already all done. Therefore, in the world, an integration movement breaks out centered on a cultural sphere—Europe centered on Europe. Knowing that what must lead the inner movement in the place where such a new federation movement breaks out is our Unification Church, let us all roll up our sleeves and set out. That is why you are the ones who must set up the tradition of Restoration centered on the family, I say. Do you understand? “Yes.”

This time the Teacher’s plan is to reorganize the whole country, which until now has been divided into nine districts, by increasing one district into three. In other words, increasing it threefold, he intends to reorganize it into thirty districts. Why must it be so? If this is left as it is, you will all wither and die.

Since today is May 11, a full year has passed since witnessing began on April 1 of last year, and looking at the statistics of that period, the family members of the headquarters have increased. Is that well done or ill done? “It is well done.” If it was well done, one must keep it up. Everyone must witness. Even a baby in the mother’s womb must witness.

There is a knack to witnessing.

It is to make someone who comes seeking you feel unbearably reluctant when he leaves. If a person is such that, even when it is past midnight and two o’clock and the guest says he will go, he can feel, “My heart drops—I wish he would stay a little longer and then go,” then the revival of the church is certain.

The Teacher lives until now centered on that principle. If you observe the Teacher, you will feel much of that. When the family members gather and, past midnight, at two or three o’clock, try to go; I tell them to stay a little longer before going.

Without such a heart, there can be no development. There the parent’s heart is moved.

You must inherit this parent’s heart that wants to sleep in the same room with the child, that wants to be together with him.

If someone is dressed shabbily, you must feel ashamed on his behalf. Even a sister or a brother feels bad about it, so what must the parent’s heart be? Seeing the son’s gaunt face from not eating, the parent, though himself not eating, keeps something aside and gives it just as it is. You must have such a heart.

Let Us Live for the Sake of Others

And also, for the church to develop, one must love the elderly. One must love the young too, but first one must love the elderly. However their clothes may be, do not consider them to be strangers, I say. Let us hold the parent’s heart. With such a heart, one must pray, “Grant that I may become one who lives centered on God’s purpose.”

The single thing you must make your goal is that, whoever comes seeking you, you must feel as if a son who had died in the world has come. So midnight is no problem, and staying up through the night is no problem.

If you pray through the night for that person to come, he is bound to come. He is bound to come, even climbing over the wall. In the early days of pioneering, the Teacher did it in that way. Seeing such things, people say Teacher Moon of the Unification Church works sorcery. But that is not sorcery.

Because, until now, in a world like a wasteland, people were wounded and could not be consoled, and they seek to enter a place where one can hold a true heart beyond that of parents is a fixed principle, I say. Therefore, hold such a heart, I say. Then some come running at dawn, and some students drop by on their way back from school.

Even now, when the Teacher goes abroad, he goes holding that heart. That is an absolute formula. Past twelve, at two, or three o’clock, when I am not sleepy, if I think that I will receive heavenly punishment for sleeping, sleep does not come. You must not forget that heart.

When those people come seeking you all the way to this road, they have visited this place having passed through a period of six thousand years and countless deadly crises. To make him a heavenly person, you must face them with a parent’s heart as in the parable of the prodigal son.

If you face them with such a heart, witnessing happens even without giving a Principle lecture. When you bow down and pray with such a heart, that one cry, “Father!” pierces into the marrow of the bones. If you only hold such a heart, anyone can witness.

Do Not Become One Who Is a Burden

Everyone will wish to be Blessed and bear sons and daughters. Holding such a parent’s heart and wearing the body of a servant, let us shed sweat for the earth, tears for humankind, and blood for Heaven—this slogan came out from here. If you only hold such a heart, anyone can witness.

One who witnesses well is not some special person. Rather, the people of our church’s pioneering era were not people who graduated from university. Knowing that this is so, you must resolve to hold this heart. You understand, right? “Yes.”

All of you, for the Republic of Korea to prosper, must not become a person who clings to the Republic of Korea and gnaws at it. You must become a person who is a benefit to the Republic of Korea. I do not seek to owe the church a debt. By any means, outwardly and inwardly, I am working to be a plus to the church. A person who seeks to become a burden to the church or the nation is a person like a parasite. Such a person is a person who ruins that church or that nation.

Give help to the church so that the church prospers, I say. And give help to the Republic of Korea so that the Republic of Korea prospers, I say. A nation that has many citizens holding such thoughts is set to flourish.

For those who came in from the first seven-year course and suffered, I try, as far as possible, to fulfill my responsibility. And thereafter, hereafter, I will drive them mercilessly. You must not always know the Teacher as that kind of Teacher. It is because there is a road the Teacher must cross over.

You must clearly know this. So do not be a burden to the church and the Teacher, I say. If you cannot repay all you have owed until now, do not, inside or out, add more burden, I say.

Centered on all such problems of Principle, do not tell the Teacher what he must do. The Teacher too cannot do it as he pleases, I say. If I could do it, why would I have suffered for fifty years of my life? I, too, am one ordinary person (범인), and you too are each one ordinary person (범인).

You and I are of a fate that has boarded the same boat. But you must know that the Teacher has a greater responsibility. The Teacher has a greater responsibility of having to take charge of not only your family problems but also the countless families of the world. Therefore, do not be an obstacle on the road the Teacher goes, I say. Rather, revive your family and help the church and push the Teacher from behind. You must not become one who seeks to be a burden before the Teacher.

Until now the Teacher has built a factory. This factory is not to feed you and keep you alive. It is being built to save the Republic of Korea and save the world. And so there must be no one who says he will be a burden to the factory. Public is public, and private is private; one must make public and private clear.

Every one of you must make the utmost effort you can. When even that will not do, you brothers must help among yourselves. Absolutely do not be a burden to the Teacher, I say. You must know that only by standing in a standpoint of cooperating among your families do you indemnify and restore Cain and Abel.

Do not drag in your parents and lean on your parents, I say. The economic restoration movement too must not be done in this way. Do not form such relations and be a burden to the nation, I say. Because I must now have you go such a road, I cannot but make you suffer—you must know this.

And the family members must all grit their teeth. Do not think of living an interesting life. The Teacher’s family never had a single such day. We cultivated a foundation passing through a hard road.

Just as the Teacher’s family, your family too must be so. This is the responsibility of every family.
