1. LIVING FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS

1) True Father and Altruism

When I went to Korea for the rallies, Korean people were saying all sorts of things about me, such as how there was no one greater in the five thousand year history of Korea than Rev. Moon. This is probably also true in America. (applause) This is also probably true in the free world. It is possible that they are saying, "Just looking at how Rev. Moon is doing that kind of work in that world where he has been persecuted so much, it seems that there has never been anyone like him before. He will become a living saint." It is possible that they may say, "That is probably how a living saint is." For this reason, for people all over the world, the word. "Second Advent", has become common. (applause)

What kind of ideology did I possess when I rose to this position from the lowest places? What made me become like this? It is altruistic love, there is only this one thing. Wherever I passed by I did not even leave a trace of debt. I let other people become indebted to me. If there were some nation and people, then I shed tears for their sake and supplicated for their blessing. You have to know clearly that we have no choice but to walk that path because we are trying to walk the path of life from the position of having completely conquered the satanic realm.

When I ask, "My leg, when did you do things for the sake of your village, nation and world? My eye, nose and mouth, when did you do like that? My hand, when have you done that?" they will answer, "Whenever you gave an order, we followed." This is how my eyes are, how my spirit is. Even if death is approaching me, I am determined not to be indebted even to the word, "death." No matter what, I am going to have people become indebted to me. (131-36)

You know how Jesus washed the feet of the disciples, right? You also cannot rally them together unless you set such tradition. This is how I have been doing so far. When I heard that the children of enemies were starving, I gave everything that I had except for one underwear and one blanket. Then I lived with just one underwear and one sheet of blanket for one week. In the end, I sold the remaining blanket for them.

Why did I do such things? This is not because I am foolish. In order to go the path of restoration, one must firmly set the absolute condition of having loved the enemy. There aren't that many people in the world who can do this. However, since I sold all my assets for the sake of the children of my enemy and even sold the last blanket when I had only the blanket and one underwear left, I did as much I could. I had to do such things because I had to put into practice the command in the Bible to love one's enemy. (23-320)
