I know that some of the area leaders of the countryside today do not have any food to eat. In my prayers I can see which ones are suffering hunger. However, I do not talk about that. As the time nears, I want to see who are the people that have the proper ideology of the Unification Church. So all of you have to make a new determination. It should not be vague. The ideology of the Unification Church is the glorious ideological tradition inherited from heaven. Since the days of antiquity, it is that providence which the countless ancestors have inherited centering on heaven while they were paving the path of suffering at the cost of their lives. Even if you look at it centering on the historical times, or even when history passes behind us, its essential characteristics will remain unchanged. It must not change. (43-56) I know that the churches in the countryside are facing difficulties right now. I also know very well the leaders of which church are starving. They must persevere through the hunger. In order to save the nation, good people have to live the lifestyle of hell. This is the only way that the evil people can come to repent. These kinds of events must take place. This is my philosophy. For this reason, I am still living this type of lifestyle. The Unification Church is poor. Some people might ask that, since we lack money, then why couldn't we bring some from Japan and different nations throughout the world. It is true that we could. However, if we do that, then Korea would be indebted to others. So, from now on, even if you don't have enough money, you should not complain about it any more. There is a saying that, "A noble man does not warm himself on the chaff-fire even if he freezes to death." When I help others with my debt, because I do not have any of my own money who would think that I am indebted?" I do not have any money, but I still have the freedom to do things the way I want. Then would you go along with me? [Yes] How about you ladies? [Yes] If you are to do it, then to what extent are you going to do it? Are you going to stop at just liking the Korean nation, or are you also going to like the world? [The world] In order to move forward for the sake of the world, you have to have some basic capital. How can you bring success with your own hands without some foundation of capital? At such times, you must be at the front line. If I were to sell you off, are you going to let yourself be sold or refuse? Do you have the confidence that you will let yourself be sold? [We do] When you are being sold, it should be you who is doing the selling. In other words, this is the public path. (35-148)
