What do you think is the most fearful thing? To me, it is to be completely immersed in something. You should hold onto God just as if you were immersed in something you like very much. In the Bible, we find the passage "Always be uplifted in heart," which has such a meaning. Do you want to hold onto God? [Yes] Then, do you understand the way to hold onto God? [Yes]

How can people become famous in this world? If someone is very greedy to become such a person, he absolutely will not be. If such an avaricious person gains such fame, he will pass away. He cannot be blessed. If you are given a duty, accept it joyfully. You will invest much more time in it-even day and night, for ten, twenty or fifty years-for your entire life, because you are doing it with delight. In this way you will bring success.

That's why you need to choose the delightful things right away, even from your young age. Then if you concentrate your effort on this with joy throughout your whole lifetime, you will become a world-level person. How was Rev. Moon able to found the Unification Church and become such a world leader? I was attracted more than anything else by God's heart, and from my very childhood I never changed my mind even until now, regardless of any difficulty or life-and-death crisis. Thus I became the Reverend Moon of today. There was no other special way. I never thought, "I am tired... this is too difficult... I am falling down," even in my dreams. I went with the attitude, "I had better not even think; I had better not even die." Going on in this way, the more I moved the more I developed.

If I visit a tropical place, I try to like it even though I am pouring out sweat and my clothes become completely soaked. Sometimes people say, "Rev. Moon is a very strong man." I heard this many times. But it's not true. When I start something, I really like it. I try to like it more than anyone else. That is my merit. There's nothing else.

When people watch me work, they think that Rev. Moon was born for this work. If I work on the farm, I do it as if I was born for this work. Because I have such an attitude, even young men cannot outdo me. Which mind is better as you work: "Let's finish quickly and get out of here," or "I don't want to stop doing this work"? If you enjoy this work, will you get tired of it? Think about that.

Now you have received the key to success. We were aware of the new field. When I look into your faces, I know at once whether you have hope or not. When you act joyfully, you cannot forget it. Please try to test if my word is true or not. (76-273)
