The Way For Students - 214 Chapter 6. Reverend Moon's Student Days Section 3. Father's Faith And Thought
2) Father Was Worried About The Problems In Human Life Since His Early Days
Ever since I was young I have always been serious about the problems of human life. I was serious about the problem of death. I came to realize that Heaven exists. I also searched the secular world and decided, "I will go this way. This is my formula course."
Throughout my life I received persecution, and I always thought there is no idea I did not try. In a serious situation or in one in which I had to suffer, I always acted that way. I did not try to protect myself with the sword from my innumerable enemies. I did concrete things through various operations behind them. Therefore you are wrong if you live a comfortable life. At the time of departure, there is already a difference between those who become generals and those who become soldiers. (124-198)
I have experienced studying one page for several months. Also, I have tried to think of everything for several months. I did that with regard to the fundamental, important questions of human life and of existence. We must confront those problems at the cost of our lives.
We have to think that if we can find solutions to these problems, not only we ourselves individually but all people can be liberated, and the door will be opened for the liberation of Heaven and Earth. So, with that thinking even if there is danger or the possibility of death, we must do it at the risk of our lives.
Even if we died on the way, that death would not be a death of despair, it would be a glorious, wonderful death. You have to know clearly what will determine the true result by knowing the situation in front of you, behind you, to the right, and to the left, and then you must confront those problems with faith and confidence. Do you understand what I mean? (37-140)
Even as a boy I began to worry about various fundamental problems of human life: "Who am I? Where did I come from? What is the purpose of life? Does our life continue after death? Does God exist? Is God almighty or powerless? If God is almighty then why does God not solve the problems of the human world? Why is there so much pain and suffering on this earth?"
Then after that, for nine years, I always lived together with the Almighty God and Jesus. I entered into the spirit world several times, and gradually God taught me amazing truths. It was as if a long dark night had passed away and the sun was rising, and in the midst of the truth I was able to see the shining glorious light of a new culture. (102-288) |
