Parents have to teach their children to be filial sons and daughters and to study, in order to be able to let them inherit the future tradition. Just letting them do what they want means that the parents are not fulfilling their responsibility, so they have to use any means possible to have their children inherit God's tradition. So what is the lesson that Rev. Moon teaches? Love the ideal country, world and Heaven, which loves "me." (95-64)

If you hit something with your left hand, where does it go? It goes to the right. But if you hit with your right hand, where does it go? It goes to the left. So you have to hit good people on the left side to make them go along the right way. It is the same for evil people as well, but who hits the evil people? God does. He says, "Don't do as the world does. Are you going to continue doing this?" And He has a neighboring country hit them, if need be. He says, "Go along the right way." The good of this world and the good of Heaven is different.

So we have to go along this ridge line and in order to do that we shouldn't have any baggage. You shouldn't eat and eat until you are full. Feeble from hunger, as though your very life was in the balance, you have to cross over a mountain range that is something like the 38th parallel. Why do you have to do this? In order to completely separate yourself from the satanic world. You shouldn't hold onto anything at all from the satanic world. You should cross over to God's side completely, clearing up everything from the satanic world. This teaching is given by God to the children He loves the most, in order that the unified world can be realized. The family which has received this ideology, must stand in that position, the people that has received this ideology, must stand in that position, and the nation which has received this ideology must stand in that position.

1. THE THINGS YOU SHOULD SAY TO YOUR CHILDREN

When you teach your children you should not say to them, "You must become a great person." You should say, "In order to become a great person, you should do this, this and this. You should go along this path." With the father fulfilling the father's position, the mother, the mother's, the older brother, the older brother's, the older sister, the older sister's, the whole family should fulfill its responsibility. In other words, you have to know how to erect, according to your position, the bond of the true brother or sister, the true couple, and the true relative who can go along the path of the true man and true woman, and you have to become people who don't violate God's law. We have to pass through a numerological course for the road to become one people to be open. Do you understand? (68-332)

From the spiritual standard, what is the final blessing that true humankind should seek? There is one thing. What is the hope of children who have lost their parents and are like orphans? It is not money. It is not the law. Their one and only desire is for their dead father and mother to come back to life.

In the same way, what I am saying is, if we want to give a present to humankind, let us give the greatest present in the true sense of the word. Let us introduce the true things to them. Let us show them the right and proper things. Let us teach them things which are absolutely true.

What should we teach them? We shouldn't teach them how to make money. And we don't want to teach them to study hard and get on in the world. For this time and age today, we have to teach them the way to go as true children who are connected to the True Parents, which are the hope of all humankind. There is no greater value than that. (26-50)

You have to educate your children from this kind of position. You have to become the true mother and father who educate your children saying, "Even if I die, you have to pick up the baton in the relay race we are running and keep going. The reason I am suffering as I am is to save the world. It is only in this way that the ideal world can come about. And because this is surely God's hope, True Parents' hope, your father's hope, your mother's hope, and your hope, too, it is also the eternal, unchanging hope that all the people in Heaven and earth can praise." You have to know that you must pass on this baton even with your last dying breath. Do you understand or don't you? [We understand.] Will you do it, or won't you? [We will do it.]

So the parents of a family have to become parents who can stand in the place of God. The parents should teach their children saying, "My sons and daughters, love your brothers and sisters more than you love me. You have to know how to love your neighbors, your country and the world." You have to educate your children in this way in order for you to be able to gain the qualification to be the true parents amongst parents. Why is this? Because it is only through doing this that your sons and daughters and your household will be able to enter the position of goodness, and centering on this goodness, develop. Are your mother and father like that? [Yes.] You have to understand these things. (95-153)

Even though the parents may call their children and say, "You should become this or that kind of person, and you should do this or that kind of work," It is not as great as saying to them, "You should become a person who knows God." Telling someone to become a person who knows God is the greatest teaching. Many people say, "God!" before they die. But even through the greatest hardship and suffering, you have to become people who can say as their final words, "I know God." (11-308)

Religion is the ground of teaching. What is the ground in teaching of the family? The parents should teach their children, "Hey, even though you grew up in any old fashion, there is one thing you should not forget. You have to love God more than you love your parents, and you have to love your country more than you love your parents," and the children have to accept that their parents are true parents. (127-291)

Human beings have set up moral laws which teach children to be filial children centered on their family, which teach husband and wife to live for each other and teach that parents should love their children. But Heavenly law is wider than that. Human moral laws teach to act centering on the individual; Heavenly moral laws teach to act centering on Heaven. You should love, but love as God loves. "I am the longing master. I long after this earth. Have the love and heart to embrace all things." This is what Heavenly law tells us. The returning point of Heavenly law starts with this. The returning point for humankind starts with the individual family but the returning point of the Heavenly law starts with the universal family which will appear in the Last Days. (8-106)

You have to become upright parents, and as upright parents give upright education to your children. Upright education means that even if it means causing them greater sadness than any other person before, you should teach them, for their future, to live for the world. Doing this is for the society, for the country and for the world. (97-99)
