You have to give with a parental heart. You must not give centering on your own ambitions and wishes. Because Father has been doing it like that, you must also do like that. Since these words came through tears, you have to give them through tears. You have to plant truth in this earth where there is no truth. (11-268)

Here the central doctrine of the Unification Church emerges. When you give, what kind of heart should you give with? You are not to give with the heart of a friend. Moreover, you are not to give with the attitude that an owner has when he gives things to the servant. You must possess the parental heart when you give. You have to have the parental heart and be in the body of a servant, to shed tears for humanity, sweat for the earth, and blood for Heaven. What this means is that you have to have a sorrowful heart, because after giving, you cannot give any more. This is how God is.

The heart of parents is to lower their heads in shame even after having given something, being sorry because even if they want to give something better they cannot do so; this is the affection of parents. Which parents would say after giving something to their children, "Now I have given enough"? The heart of parents is such that they will say, "I will give more later, because even though I want to give more now, this is all I have." For this reason, even if the child is a thief, parents love that child. Isn't this so? [Yes] (39-196)

When you give, how should you give? You should not give leftovers. Do you understand? If you give what is left over from your meal, then even after eating it people will feel disgusted and spit. When you are giving rice cakes, for example, if you take a long time to select one out of the five, picking one up and then putting it down and then picking another, it is worse than not giving at all. This is how it is. It is worse than not giving at all. When you give to others, if there are five, then you should have no hesitation in picking up half of them and hand them over. Then, people will thank you, yet if you are so hesitant and picky, then people will judge you even after they become indebted to you. This is how it is. For this reason, how are to give? You are to give together with God. (60-170)

What is meant by giving together with God? It is possessing the heart of parents. Possessing the heart of parents and being in the body of a servant... Why do you need to have the body of a servant? Because you are trying to save servants you have to become more like a servant than any servant. Aren't the people in the world the children of servants? Since God is trying to save these servants, since God is trying to love servants, imagine how difficult it must be. Do you think that it is easy? (60-171)

Those who try to give ten and take back a hundred will decline. This type of person cannot enter the world centered on heart. The heavenly world is a world of giving. Material things do not constitute problems. Giving is the way to accumulate merits. When you give, you have to add your mind to the material. No one can take away the things that you give with the heart of God.

In the Old Testament Age, God gave from the position of servant, and in the New Testament Age, He gave from the position of a brother. Now is the time to give from the position of parents. Since we have received things which God gave us from the parental position, we must also give from the parental position, with the heart of parents. When you become such a person, then God cannot leave you.

When you give, because you have to first get rid of enmity toward you, conflict cannot be avoided. We have to understand the heart of God who is trying to give. We have to understand the heart of God who has been fighting for 6,000 years in order to give.

A happy person is one who gives when he wants to give, and receives when he wants to receive. The unfortunate person is one who cannot given even if he wants to and cannot receive even when he wants to. From this perspective, God is a sad and unfortunate person. (11-235)

When you love people, no matter what the investment you have just made is, you should not think about it. You should not regret. You should not remember what you have invested! I want to give more... Therefore, when you have something good to eat, if you are eating it hiding out somewhere alone, then you are a leader who is to going to decline immediately. If you have something to eat, then you should not eat it but save it, wishing to give it to someone even if you cannot eat it yourself and thinking about the members because you cannot eat it; this is the type of person that you should become. You have to become leaders who have nurtured this type of parental heart. (70-166)

When a mother feeds her children on her breast, does she think, "I am feeding them because I want to take back many times more from them in the future?" She is uneasy because she cannot give any more. What lasts for eternity is the heart of parents which sheds tears after giving something to the child because they cannot give something better. After doing so, although they want to give more but cannot because they simply don't have any more, they will be moved to tears by this uneasy heart; this type of parent will surely educate their children to be filial. The process of restoration is the place where this heart is. Restoration becomes impossible when one leaves this course. (46-173)
