7. FATHER'S SECOND MOBILIZATION SPEECH

When I went to the Soo Taek Lee workshop site yesterday, somebody asked me, "How can I go out and leave my children behind?" Do you think I have the answer? I answered: "You know what to do. You know more than I what needs to be done. This course is not mine. I have already completed my course. In my course, I also had difficulties and suffering, and that time has passed. Now you are the seed and should welcome the spring season. To be fruitful you have to overcome and subjugate your circumstances. Don't you? The fruit that is attached to a lonely tree is not insignificant. Otherwise it would not remain attached. This means that you have to sow a pure seed. In your family, you have to choose the most precious member and sow that one. The most precious member is not the father or son or daughter but the mother. For that reason, God chose to mobilize the mothers. But if there is someone who says, `Well, my husband... and my son and daughter..., etc.,' then that person will stumble." (36:31)

To mobilize the wives is a miserable thing to do. Yesterday, I visited a few local houses to see how the children are doing without their mothers. I felt so sorry to see them. In my heart I said to myself, "You must want to see your mother," and I prayed for them in my heart. Then I comforted them, saying, "Your mother has to go over the three-year indemnity course for God's Will. This period is like Jesus' three years of public life where there was no foundation to welcome the bride, so these women have to go out to indemnify this failure. That is why your mother has to go this course. Also, there is still a heartistic foundation needed to indemnify the whole. You do not understand now, but this will be your pride and your family's pride in the future. The day will come when you will praise your mother, so you should not feel like a lonely beggar. How fortunate you are that you can serve your historically precious mother." Nevertheless, it is miserable to see these children. (37:204)
