3. FATHER AND THE PROGRESS OF THE UNIFICATION CHURCH

1) The Reason Father Is Making Progress

I, the teacher, have been receiving persecution and fighting in court battles all of my life, so why am I not exhausted? Am I exhausted? [No] Why "No," why? (laughter) It is because of the power of love. Even in the U.S., those with the original heart of love will be attracted to me. Like a magnet, a magnet. Thus Rev. Moon is delicious. If American young people taste me even one time, they will lose control. Why? Because they themselves do not possess such taste. Because I have true love. Everyone, when your mother spanks you, even if you are in tears would you still follow her? This type of thing will happen. Why? That is because of love. You should understand this clearly. Do you understand? [Yes]

Rev. Moon possesses such power of harmony. So he will not perish. If I think about this, I do not feel lonely even if I am alone. Why would I be lonely? There will be multiplication and progress wherever I go. All I have to do is act, and everyone will like me. Wherever I go friends will appear and all will follow me. As soon as I leave they will follow me naturally. They are being drawn to me.

Aren't you all like that? Love will always grow larger. If I truly received love that amounted to ten, would I return love that only added up to nine? I would want to return love that is worth eleven or twelve. This is the fundamental law of love. Love never wants to become smaller. Is this true or not? [It is true] (131-123)

After you step on the grass, does it not rise up again? Similarly, they run, then I also start to run. Isn't it true? Therefore, there can be no loss when leading a lifestyle for the sake of God. Since progress will be made whenever God is present, there cannot be any decrease. (30-154)

I believe that the advancement of the Unification Church in America depends on me. If I become a leader that is indebted to you, the church will never develop. My philosophy is that when I become a leader whom all of you are indebted to, the church will advance forward. This has been my attitude until now.

Moreover, my philosophy is that I must feel more desperate than the spirit world, God or the angelic world. This is how I think about the world. I first think about the world and then think about the Unification Church. I live for the sake of the world and the world of God's Will. Therefore, I do not believe that if I, who have been always thinking about the world despite heavy persecution, die without fulfilling the will, then the Unification Church will disappear. The day I die, I must alleviate the suffering of God. I must advance it forward even more. Do you understand what I am saying? I believe that there exists God who will answer my prayers and help accomplish the will, so the Unification Church will not perish until the will is done. I think in this way from the moment I awake and walk toward to bathroom. I think about this 24 hours a day whether I am awake or asleep. Wherever I go, whomever I meet... Do you understand? Therefore, I am not someone who will be indebted to you. I am not one who will be indebted. A leader who owes debt is truly an unworthy leader. (93-95)
