Matter 37.    (Jigam) means reaching a state of divine response by offering one′s utmost,   heartfelt sincerity.  "Response'(Gameung) is when God geels humanity′s sincerity and responds to it.   If humans lack sincerity , how can God feel anything from them?   If humans do not possess the level of sincerity that warrants a divine response,   how could God possibly respond?   If one′ssincerity is not absolute and ultimate,   it is tantamount to having no sincerity at all.   Even if there is a feeling, if it dose not lead to a response,   it is the same as feeling nothing.  [Original Text]     ■ 至感者는 以至誠으로 至於感應也라 (지감자는 이지성으로 지어감응야라)       Those who achieve Ultimate Resonance reach the state of mutual        reaponse through absolute sincerity.     ■ 感應者는 天感人而應之也니 (감응자는 천감인이응지야니)        Mutual response means Heaven(God) is moved by humans        and responds to them.     ■ 人無可感之誠이면 天何感之며 (인무가감지성이면 천하감지며)        If humans lack the sincerity capable of moving Heaven,        how can Heaven be moved?     ■ 人無可應之誠이면 天何應之哉아 (인무가응지성이면 천하응지재아)        If humans lack the sincerity that deserves a response,        how can Heaven possibly respond?     ■ 誠而不克이면 與無誠同하고 (성이불극이면 여무성동하고)        If one′s sincerity is not absolute(does not reach the ultimate peak),        it is identical to having no sincerity.     ■ 感而不應이면 與不感으로 無異니라. (감이불응이면 여불감으로 무이니라.)        If there is a spiritual impression but no actual response,        it is no different from not being moved at all.
