1) God-centered Life

Every religion teaches us to not look at or listen to anything rashly. It also teaches us not to speak or to treat anybody rashly. This means that looking, listening, speaking, feeling and also loving must all be done centered on God and not centered on oneself. (66-231)

All of our speaking, looking, feeling and emotional experiences must be connected to God. (53-239)

For whom should we look and listen in our daily lives? It is for the sake of God. We have to do it for the sake of God. Feeling must also be done for the sake of God. Even though we are living on earth, we have to be connected with the life in Heaven. (35-284)

Before eating, you must think, "Father, after you!"(11-218)

You cannot just eat good food and wear good clothes. First, you have to offer the best to God. Also, when you walk, think that you are walking together with Father on your right and Mother on your left. (24-181)

When we are hungry, for whom do we eat? (For God.) Really? Are you sure that you eat for the sake of God or are you eating for your own sake? (For God.) You have to think about it. How can you eat for the sake of God? "I need to build a perfect temple for God." Therefore, when you eat, think that God is eating in you. Think this way, "Because I'm hungry, God in me wants to eat." Do you understand? If you do so, that food will become holy. It will become precious food.

Next, what should you think when you go to the toilet? Do you do it for your sake or for the sake of the whole? It is all one and same. Think that God commanded you to go, because otherwise this temple will have trouble.

How about breathing? It is the same. And listening? Don't think that you listen by yourself. Don't think that you do anything like looking, touching, etc., by yourself. Even when you face people or Satan's world, do it as a person of God. Even when you speak, think that God is speaking.

Originally, according to the Principle, we are to live, think and love centered on ourselves after we've become completely one with God. We have to know this clearly. Even though you would live, think and love centered on yourself, it would be the same as living, thinking and loving centered on God.

This is the Principle. (92-166)

If you understand the relationship between subject and object, then everything must be for the sake of the subject, to the fullest. Everything such as looking, listening and eating must be done for the subject.

When you eat and just say, "Oh, how tasty it is. So delicious!" it means that you are eating for your own sake. But if you eat gratefully, you are eating for the sake of the subject. If you can realize that your circumstances are not due to you, then you are able to eat like that because you are not eating alone. You are eating for the subject. It is same with sleeping. It is not because you yourself have managed so well that you may sleep in a place like this. You must have the attitude that even though Heaven might bring you to the end of this world and ruin your life, it is because of Heaven's desperate efforts to save you from your miserable state. All of you should always say to God, "Oh, God, I'm grateful for my destiny. I'm so grateful." This is the attitude you must have.

\That is why there cannot be any complaint when an object is devoted to the subject. Complaint would be a rare act and a failure. Therefore, no complaint is allowed in the life of faith.

What is not allowed? We cannot afford complaint . There should only be thankfulness. You must understand this.

Because Heaven will always remain the subject, there cannot exist any rule or life that is separate from it. Therefore, always report. Even though you seem to be by yourself, you are never alone. You will feel the presence of Heaven in front of you and in back of you wherever you are. Then whatever you come to enjoy, you'll feel it in your heart. How does God feel seeing all that scenery? How does He feel when He looks out over Seoul? If history and the world are so, then everything must connect and relate with it. You have to realize these points clearly and never forget that Heaven is the subject. \Otherwise, it is not possible to understand the rationality of faith.

Natural law is brought into existence by keeping the proper order. Therefore, we have to stand in the position where Heaven is the absolute subject in the subject and object relationship. When I am an unconditional object to the absolute subject, we are absolutely one.

\Therefore, all that we are seeing, hearing and feeling, even the loving within a family, is to be done from the position of a subject or object for the sake of Heaven. That is oneness. That kind of family will never perish.

What will happen when a subject and object have a reciprocal relationship? Definitely, something will happen, and the result will come in proportion to how good their reciprocal relationship is. (58-310)
