You need preparation, foundation, and what else? (Ability and result.) Do not forget that you need ability and foundation. You can think of it as four-position foundation. So, do you think you should make the preparation or not? (We should.) Instead of saying, "Why not play around? Others are going on a vacation, and why not we?" you can say, "What do I know about vacations? I am busy on my way." Is this a good thing to do or silly thing to do? (Good thing.) So from now on, when you have a vacation will you be running around the whole town, saying, "Oh, I am free," or get into a pit and make a preparation? (Make a preparation.)

In your time, you should make preparation for one to ten years with sweat. The position like mine even takes one hundred years of preparation. You should not miss the opportunities. So God cannot but have expectation for you, although he may not like you. That is why I am here in such a precious time to talk to you. Somebody may complain, asking why I am talking to the Blessed Second Generation when I had called everyone for a meeting. But it is the Principle to talk to you first. This is why I am here.

You should prepare yourself as my representative and beloved children. You will become different people depending on what you desire and think. We are different in quality and quantity from the outside people; we are not to be digested by them. Some say that they have no friend, but nature is your friend, and so are sun, moon, and stars. So you can talk to stars, moon, trees, and flying birds. You should say to birds, "I will prepare myself like you. You have prepared yourself for one year to be able to migrate here over the sea and national boundaries. Great. I will also prepare myself to be able to go anywhere." With this you should expedite the preparation. You should know this clearly, Okay? (133-251)

Until I was thirty, I was unable to wear new clothes like yours. In my student time, I always and voluntarily wore dirty and smelly clothes. You have lived too carelessly and without order so far. I am not saying that you should do exactly what I did; but you have to know the history and tradition clearly, Okay? When you eat, you should say, "You food, please work as a fertilizer for my making a preparation. Provide power to my brain and all my cells. Give me the righteous power to make a clear judgment against evil." One serious mistake will bring heaven and earth to ruin. Do you understand this? Please prepare yourself for the future.

Don't bring it about that at the time of death, as you reflect over your life and what you heard from me, you say, "I am a loser." Rather I want you to be able to say, "Oh, I made the preparation and then fought, bringing victorious results. Without his words, I would not have been able to do this." With this you can celebrate your life. This is why I am speaking to you. Do you understand this? (133-227)
