2. THE LIFE COURSE WE HAVE TO LEAVE BEHIND

"What road will I take?" is the question you must ask yourselves. You have to understand this clearly. Some of you may pray for your physical or external environment. Those people will be swept away with the external, physical world. Those people who entered the Unification Church for their own benefit have left.

You have to become people who can complete your destiny as a pioneer for the sake of future humanity and the world, pledging to connect yourself to the true ideal of God. There is no value in worrying about who saw you do something. When you think that it is in the unseen, deepest places of your internal heart that you make a bond with God, you have to become a person who, whether somebody sees or not, is willing to go the way alone, shedding sweat and blood to take on the responsibility and working hard to establish this bond with God.

What do you have to leave behind? There is no parent who will leave as a family heirloom for his loving children a dirty used cloth that needs to be thrown away. You want to leave a precious thing that you have made through your sincere effort, a treasure that only Mom and Dad know about. You don't want to leave something that is useless. It has to be something that you want to keep until the end. Something that is more valuable than everything you own or have sold until now. You want to leave that kind of treasure. Then what is this treasure? The treasure in itself is not important. It is the love, the mind, the sacrifice that the parents have put into this treasure. It represents the very heart of the parents. It is something that has moved not just the parents, but Heaven and earth as well. When it is a sacrifice that can conquer all the historical people, when you can instill this treasure in their young minds, this is the greatest treasure in history.
