4.You Should Have the Heart that you Truly Desire to Live Together

Concerning how humans should live or how we should decide the direction of our lives, the outline should be: the way of filial sons, the way of loyal people, the way of saints, and the way of holy people. It means the heart which desires to be together and to live together forever. It is the life filled with the heart that desires to live together regardless of position. That is the conclusion.

When you say youOd like to live with a person, what makes you say that? It is not power. Power cannot win over history. Power is a temporary thing. Knowledge? The world of knowledge develops, doesnOt it? When you are in the academic world, do you feel like living with academics forever? It is clear that what we want forever is not knowledge or money.

In this light, what is the element which transcends time and position? It is love. Therefore, the filial son is the person who loves his parents. Patriots are people who love their nation. Saints are people who love humankind. Holy people are people who love God. If you have a patriot's heart, which wants to live in the nation forever and feels pain when the nation is in pain, it is not a temporary thing. It is important to have such a true heartistic foundation. (Oct. 11, 1987)

The people who have love and make a connection of heart are allowed to be in the realm of unification. Even if a woman is ignorant when she marries a professor yet makes the connection of love, she becomes the wife of a professor in an instant. So if you make a connection of heart, you are allowed to be in the realm of unification because God has such an existence. If you have an element to be united with Him, God will give you the permission to be there, automatically. (Oct. 11, 1986)

Where can we start unification? Where and with what can we start the unification of the South and North? With fists or power? If we overcome the opposite side by force, another fight will occur when the opposite side's power gets bigger. Therefore we cannot unite that way. Even though we live in South Korea, to open the way of unification we should have the heart that we want to live with North Koreans and be united with North Koreans. North Korea has a hard time because Kim Il-Sun's dictatorship created a closed society. As you know the history more and more, you understand the misery of the people underground. Our enemy is Communism, not the people. If South Koreans sympathize with North Koreans and cry for them, saying that they are thinking about the difficulties of North Korea, and they prepare for the liberation of North Korea, the day will come soon when South Koreans enter North Korea.

You started a local folk school not so long ago, didnOt you? The professors of universities, how much do they think about the hometown? We have to think about how to live with our hometown. If you don't want to live with your parents and live in your hometown, you cannot be a patriot. If such people said that they loved their nation, it was a lie. If you live in your hometown, you will live with the world. If you live with the world, you will live with God. Therefore, if you don't love your hometown and the local society, you cannot love your nation.

Well, do politicians love our nation? They don't know what's going on with the nation and theyOre busy fighting over the presidency between the DJP and the New Democrat Party. Let them try. If they don't have the heart to live with the people sincerely, they will all be taken away. No matter how capable they are they will be gone like bubbles. If the leader doesnOt love the people, he will be judged by the people and by history in the future. (Oct. 11, 1986)

We cannot unite the separated South and North without effort. In the fight of patriots, it is necessary to have determination and to practice to overcome difficult circumstances. Truly wanting to live with and die with... We would like to live with our ancestors and other spirit persons, too... We have to start unification right here by your being such professors and students.

When the South and North are united, the democratic world and the Communist world will be united. You have to be able to view the future of the world and the nation as the representatives of humankind, Asians, your school, and your students. You have to pledge that you will be involved in the movement in order to live with them together. Through the way of the great saints, you will resemble the saints. If you practice the devotion of a holy person you will God's heir and the heir of God's Will. (Oct. 11, 1986)
