Without thinking, a bond cannot be made, and with making a bond a relationship cannot be made. (21-86) Today, people do not pay enough attention toward each other. In horizontal relationships it is rare that people pay respect to each other centering on the horizontal connection. Regardless or sex and age, everyone has the attitude that dealing with people is annoying. If you view people as nuisance, then you can never walk the heavenly way. For God's providence for restoration, the Korean nation is not the only place that God needs. He needs all of the three billion people in the world. For this reason, God is deeply concerned about people. Since we are a group of people who gathered for the sake of achieving this goal, we must stand in the position where God is and have the same degree of concern toward all people. This should not be done just externally. When you can possess the heart that springs up from your original mind, you can realize the best interpersonal connections and best personal relationships. Knowing this, when a member is experiencing some difficulty or facing hardships, you should feel sympathy toward the person as if these afflictions are happening to you. If you can surpass everyone in loving people, then you can come to possess the power of life which will allow you to persevere through the most difficult crises, that seem like autumn and winter. I hope that you can come to understand that that kind of power of life will assert itself strongly and head toward the spring, eventually becoming the matrix of the new world and new life. (25-291) In order to guide people on their spirituality, you have to be able to observe people's minds well and be sensitive toward their difficulties. A salesman has the instinct to know whether or not he can make a sale in a house or not just by listening to the way a dog barks. If he has been doing it for a long time, he can tell statistically what kind of facial expressions denote willingness to buy. Moreover, he cultivates the ability to induce a reluctant person to change his mind and agree to a purchase. If you have enough of such experiences, then as you meet someone you can tell immediately if that person has some worry. You can tell by looking at his or her eyes and lips. When one becomes serious, one's eyes and mouth will change. Is this true or not? If they are happy, then you can see changes taking places here and here. You should try to research whether or not this is true. When you are about to smile, eyes and mouth... The reason is that there are only two things that determine the facial expressions. When there is something to be expressed in one's heart, they will move. So, I can tell right away whether you are pleased or displeased just by looking at the way you speak. How can I tell? I see it from the way that your eyes and mouth move. To assess a man, see how much he is smiling and how close that is to his widest smile. You should get a handle on this calibration method, so that you can guide someone by analyzing his or her heart and spirit. In order to do this, you must pay lot of attention. How can you catch this without paying attention? If I can be with a man for four days straight, then I can tell everything about him, regardless of who he is. When he sits down, I can analyze whether or not he sits down with difficulty or not. This has become a heated topic right now. If you deal with his problems, think about his problems and consider his problems as your own, he will naturally be grateful to you and be attentive. This is what you must research. (69-166) When you are dealing with a member, you must treat him or her with much affection and entertain him or her. (23-249) When there is an absolute subject, an object will surely emerge. This is the truth. No matter where you are, you must be learning. You should receive revelation just by watching the way a passing beggar walks or from the sound of bird cry. If you do not reflect and are not concerned, then you cannot be connected to good things. You should make connections with the good things by contemplating and by devoting your attention. (14-96)
