When I first met President Hyo Won Eu I was very serious. I was being driven and chased out from Pusan to Taegu, and as the third stage I came to Seoul; when I met him there it was restoration. Going to the very end of Pusan, at Yeong-Do... Isn't Yeong-Do at the very end? Yeong-Do is like the manure. This is what I think. There, the only person in the universe who was serious was I. This is the reason that God worked. President Eu was also a thick-headed person. Although he passed away... His spirit of chivalry was very strong, yet he understood only one side of things. This is were he sat and was melted completely. (47-316)

You saw it, right? In the past, I often cursed at President Eu in public. For him, that was the source of his pride. Even when I cursed at him, he took it very well. Some of you might say, "If Teacher scolds me, the leader, so harshly then how can I properly play my role as the leader; it is embarrassing and degrading." However, how can you think about your own respectability when my dignity and honor are not being respected properly. In this present situation when all we have is worn out bundles, how can we concern ourselves with such things as dignity? There will soon come a time when I will care more about my dignity. (51-285)

In the past, whenever the president of our church appeared in public places, I used to scold and condemn him as if he were a dog or a pig. Shouting, "You!..". So, although he was closest to me, when he wanted to come into my room he stood outside the door and hesitated. Then, with the determination, "I will just endure the condemnation again," he came in. Only by doing so, this... If I am lofty then this is also lofty, and this is what has to happen. (speaks while writing on the blackboard) This should be there. It will become a realm where such things can be digested, the realm of digestion. There will open a way that will allow one to digest it.

For this reason, the fearsome teachers are the good teachers. Do you understand? One who can withstand all the curses and whatever harsh words, remaining obedient and digesting them all, can enter the same position. By being in the same place, he will become the direct disciple of that person. This is a fundamental principle. Isn't this so? Is this true? [Yes] (125-82)

The point concerning President Eu that I used to think very seriously about was whether or not he went having such a content. When he was following me, he went through a lot of suffering for my sake. Among them, he was deeply concerned about me when I was in the prison. Therefore, when I think about President Eu, I reflect on how he was this and that kind of man. When I was lying in the prison, I was pulled by the love that made me want to see him, and even a piece of note that I sent him he was able to receive as something as valuable as life; this was the extent of his internal connection and support. I remember that he was this kind of president. (33-83)

When you compare life and death, which is the stronger one? Is life stronger than death or is death stronger than life? In the satanic world, death is more powerful than life. Accordingly, after one gains the understanding about the providence, one should not be reluctant to die in the position where he must face death.

When President Eu was passing away , I asked him, "Ever since you met me, the Teacher, you have been following me, but how are you going to end it?" When I asked that, before he passed away he left the words that he will never change for eternity. This is how it should be. In the satanic world, one day you must die. You cannot resurrect without dying first. Without passing through one era you cannot usher in the next. Do you understand? (34-47)

There must be someone who can obtain his salvation by making the proclamation that he has been as loyal as President Eu was. (10-263)

In the Korean society of the near future, the Unification Church will become a big issue. You just wait and see. There will increasingly be more people who will do research about me. Then, along with my name, history about me will probably be written. Do you think there will be a biography about me or not? [There will be] Even if the history of Japan and America were to disappear from the scene in the future, the history of Rev. Moon of the Unification Church will remain. It will definitely live on. Here it is written about Teacher Moon. You did the right thing. (27-258)

The talk that I want to give today in particular is on the importance of abiding by the tradition. In the Unification Church, the accomplishments of President Eu are enormous. So, I have been very concerned about Jin Sung. I have talked about it with Mother that I should be a leader who rewards one for his accomplishments. For this reason, at the time of the blessings of Ye Jin and In Jin, I thought about President Eu. President Eu must understand this very well.

What is the vice of the Unification Church today? All you leaders must not forget about the contributions of President Eu toward our religious foundation. Rather than letting the memory fade away as time goes by, you should remember the day and... Until the day that I tell you to discontinue, you should set the date aside to hold a memorial service on the national level to pay respects to him and draw lessons from it.

He could not live to work in the era of the national level. Although he could not reach the era of world level, from the time that the church was founded to the time that we could reach the nation-13 years ago-during that time it is without a doubt that he made the greatest contributions in opening the church. Considering from this position, I recognize his contribution in leaving behind the central ideological tradition. Moreover, although he was crippled, I drove him to lecture more than 18 hours every day for three years and eight months. Why? Through him, I was trying to set the tradition of teaching the Divine Principle and have it manifested in life before heaven and earth. I did it so that even if all the lecturers throughout the world were to continue doing their mission every day for more than three years, even if they lectured for more than twelve hours, there would be no one who could complain that he was exhausted. In order to leave this tradition behind before heaven and earth, I pushed him to do it despite his handicapped body.

He had so little to eat and he was undernourished, so if he became exhausted while giving a lecture he would lie down... At times, he would tell me that he could not lecture in the afternoon because he was sick. I remember how I had then to push him and raise him. I reprimanded him, "How can you behave like this? You have to put your life on the line to spread the Divine Principle. As long as you are alive, if there is no one to lecture to you should then talk to the empty space in the air." Hearing it, although he was lying down gazing with his tired eyes, he would still say, "Teacher's words are right," and get up immediately. I still can see in my mind clearly how it was so difficult for him to get up because of the fixtures set on his crippled leg. I understand it very well. Accordingly, if I think about that time after his death, this is the perspective that I must take for my reflection.(130-322)
