우주의 공법과 성인

하나님 뜻과 세계나 “자신을 알자”

여러분이 음식을 먹을 때도 그 음식이 ‘당신이 공적인 존재이기 때문에, 보다 가치 있는 존재이기 때문에 나는 감사합니다’라고 할 것입니다. 그래서 그 음식이 몸 안에 들어가서 피가 되고 살이 되는 것입니다. 음식도 전체를 위해서 사는 사람을 좋아하지 자기만을 위해서 사는 사람을 좋아하지 않습니다. 자기만을 위해서 살아가는 사람은 우주법에 역행하는 것이 되기 때문에 병이 생기고 망한다는 것입니다. 그렇기 때문에 선한 것은 흥하고 악한 것은 망한다는 논리가 성립됩니다.

이러한 뜻에서, 좋다는 것이 무엇인지 정의를 내릴 필요가 있습니다. 눈물에도 선한 눈물이 있고 악한 눈물이 있습니다. 눈도 그렇고 귀도 그렇습니다. 좋은 눈이란, 전체를 위하고 내가 봉사할 수 있는 것이 없나 하고 찾는 데 사용되어지는 눈입니다. 남을 이용하고 남을 해치는 데 사용되는 눈은 나쁜 눈입니다.

　宇宙的法のもとの公的目的　

　　　　御旨と世界767
　あなた方は毎朝、朝食を食べるでしょう。あなた方の食事を構成する動物や植物は、どこから生まれるのでしょうか。食物を食べるために、あなた方はいろいろな植物を無慈悲に切り倒し、それからそれを歯でかみ砕き、それらを飲み込まなくてはなりません。そうしてもサラダの中にある野菜は、あなた方に反抗しません。なぜならば、それらは宇宙的な法を知っており、自分たちはより大きな目的のために存在している、と思っているからです。それらの食物がそういう姿勢をもっているので、人間が公的な目的に向かって奉仕するために、それらの食物を食べたとしても、彼らは感謝するわけです。ここでは目的が調和しています。
　　

　皿の上の食物は、人間の生きている目的に対して、ある感謝をもっています。そこにのみ、人間と食物との調和が成り立つことができるわけです。もしそうでなければ、食物は食べられるたびに人間を嫌い、人間の笑い声を聞いても憤りを示すでしょう。重要なことは、食物は人間が公的な目的のために生きていることを知った時に、初めてあなた方を受け入れるのだということです。食物は、自分を食べたいと思っている貪欲な人間の笑いに対しては、憤りを示します。
　　

　もし、人が公的な目的のために生きていないならば、食物は時々、それを食べた人のおなかの中で人間に対してデモを行います。すると、その人は病気になったり、場合によっては死ぬこともあります。宇宙的な法のもとでは、善は栄光、悪は滅びることになっています。今、あなた方は明確に、善の方向が奉仕と犠牲を伴っていることが分かりましたが、今までの歴史においては、その定義はあいまいで焦点がぼけていました。
　　

　この定義が正しいか間違っているかを調べてみましょう。この世界のあらゆるものは、善悪二種類のうちの一つに属しており、あなた方の目から流れ落ちる涙一つでさえも、善か悪のいずれかに分けられます。耳や目も、二つの働き方があるのです。もし、目が世界を見渡し、困っている人がいれば行って助けてやりたいと思っているのであれば、その目は善の働きをしています。もし目が、その人を利用するために、人の弱点を見つけようとしているのであれば、それは悪の働きをしているわけです。

The Public Purpose under the Universal Law

God’s Will and the World

Let Us Know Ourselves

September 30, 1979

You eat breakfast every morning, don't you? Where do the animals and plants come from that comprise your meals? In order to have food, you have to ruthlessly cut down different plants, then chew them up with your teeth and swallow them. The vegetables in your salad bowl won't protest, however, because they know the universal law and think that they are there to serve a greater purpose. With that attitude they can thank you for eating them so that you can serve the public purpose. There is a harmony of purpose here.

The food on your plate has a certain appreciation of what you live for and is willing to serve your body. That's the only way there can be harmony between you and your food. Otherwise, your food would hate you for eating it and resent hearing you laugh. The key point is that your food accepts you only because it knows you are living for the public purpose. Food will resent the laughter of a greedy person who wants to eat it.

If you are not living for a public purpose, then sometimes your food will stage a demonstration against you in your stomach. Then you get sick or even die in some cases. Under the universal law, goodness should flourish and evil should decline. Now you know precisely that the direction of goodness includes service and sacrifice, but until now that definition has been hazy in history, lacking a focal point.

Let us examine whether that definition is right or wrong. Everything in this world exists in one of two classifications, and even the tears trickling from your eyes can be either good or evil. Your ears and eyes could serve in two ways. If your eyes want to look at the world to find a person in need so that you can go and serve him, then your eyes are serving a good function. On the other hand, if your eyes are trying to spot someone's weakness so you can exploit him, they are serving an evil function.
