Section 5. Unity Through True Love

2. Unity Through United Hearts

There are many people who, although being pushed, cannot attain this unity. Are you in unity? We must be in unity first.

We cannot unite anything unless we are ourselves united. We must unite all disjointed hearts first. We must not fear death if that's what it takes to unite hearts. 

This is the universal temple where unity is attained. But people tend to think they can attain unity only because they arrived here.

To achieve unity, however, one must want the unity of heart from one's own deepest heart and must be prepared to overcome all sorts of hardship on the way.

We must be prepared to die for the idea of unity. You don't get united with your teacher, but with your God.

Jacob united the family ; Moses united the tribe ; Jesus united the world around God. Unity with God is larger than just unity within a nation. It must unite all the hearts between heaven and earth.

You must overcome individual or family hardships in order to work for God's unity, and Heaven will recognize your merit when you fall in exhaustion from your effort.

Unity does not just happen ; we must make it happen. We cannot just remain the flour ; we must become the yeast.

Unity cannot just happen easily; it must go through the valley before it reaches a plateau. Jesus triumphed over the valley of death. Unity must be achieved just like his triumph.

If you wonder why you have endured so much hardship, it's because you lost your confidence. As long as people remain standing on their feet, your endurance is epitomized in your people.

But if endurance is not for God or your people, but for yourself, then your doubting mind will get no help. You can look around for help, but you won't find any source of extra strength.

Our life must be offered at the attar of God. Unity for God and your nation and your people, not for individuals, must be your goal. (16-341)
