“세계와 남북통일은 참사랑으로”

정치하는 지도자들이 나라를 얼마나 사랑합니까?그들에게 국민과 더불어 진정 같이 살겠다는 마음이 없을 때는, 그런 정치인은 다 흘러가는 것입니다. 아무리 잘나도 물거품처럼 흘러가고 마는 것입니다.

갈라진 남과 북이 그냥 하나될 수는 없습니다. 애국 동지들이 투쟁하는 그 과정에서는 밤잠을 안 자며 시간을 초월하고, 어려운환경을 극복할 수 있는 마음의 결의와 실천이 필요한 것입니다. 

‘참으로 같이 살고 싶소. 죽어도 같이 죽고, 살아도 같이 살고 싶소.’ 그런 마음을 서로가 갖게 될 때에는 남북통일 운동은 시작되는 것입니다.

남북통일을 이루게 되면, 민주세계와 공산세계의 통일도 여기서 벌어질 것입니다. 그래서 한국문제를 염려할 때에는 세계를 대표한 자리에 서서, 60억 인류를 대표하고 30억 아시아인을 대표하고, 민족의 앞날, 세계의 앞날을 내다보아야 합니다.

그리고 ‘나는 그대들과 더불어 참으로 같이 사는 운동을 전개할 것’이라는 다짐을 해야 합니다. 그것이 성인의 도리와 통하면 성인을 닮는 것이요, 성자의 충절을 가지고 하나님을 대해서 실천하면, ‘하나님의 상속자’ ‘뜻의 후계자’가 된다는 것을 본인은 생애를 통해서 확인했기 때문에, 오늘 여러분에게 이런 말씀을 전하고 있는 것입니다.

하나님의 참사랑을 중심으로 서로가 인연을 맺게 되면 반드시 주관권과 소유권, 그 다음에는 상속권을 가질 수 있는 특권이 부여됩니다. 역학에서는 입력보다는 출력이 작지만 참사랑의 세계에서는 입력보다 출력이 더 큰 것입니다.

참사랑은 무엇이냐? 위하는 사랑인데 주고는 그냥 잊어버리는 것입니다. 새삼스럽게 준 것을 기억하지도 않습니다. 또한, 아무리 퍼부어 주어도 지치질 않습니다.

90세가 넘은 부모가 70세 된 아들보고 ‘애야! 차 조심해라’라고 해도 어색하지 않고, 몇 십년동안 그 말을 수없이 되풀이했다 하더라도 싫증나거나 지치는 법이 없습니다.

타락한 세상의 부모가 이렇거늘 하물며 본질세계에서 부모인 하나님의 사랑을 주고받을 때 지칠 리가 있겠습니까? 인생에서 참다운 하나님의 대상권을 확정짓고 참사랑의 영광이 불변이라는 것을 비로소 알게 될 때에, 영생의 논리를 타당화시킬 수 있는것입니다. 

본인이 지난 1984년에 아무 죄 없이 미국 감옥에 들어가 옥중 침대에 홀로 누워 있는데, 하나님이 찾아오셔서 믿을사람이 본인밖에 없으니까 니카라과 사태를 해결하라고 명령하셨습니다. 하나님이 찾아오실 인간이 어디 본인밖에 없겠습니까?

선진국을 대표한다는 미국에는 2억 4천만이라는 국민과 수없이 많은 교역자들이 있지만, 그들에게 찾아가실 수 없어 나를 찾아오신 하나님이 얼마나 불쌍하신가 짐작이 갈 것입니다. 그렇지만 하나님은 강한 인력의 사랑을 찾아가실 줄 알기 때문에 밤낮으로 세계를 위해 염려하는 본인을 찾아오신 것입니다. 그때 내가 워싱턴 타임스를 앞세워 돕는 일을 전개하지 않았으면 남미는 사상적으로 이미 쑥대밭이 되었을 것입니다.

우리 민족의 염원인 남북통일은 이 시대 하나님의 소망이기도 합니다. 북한과 남한을 통일시켜 가지고 하나님이 안식할 수 있는 터전을 여러분 가정과 우리 교회와 나라에 쌓기를 하늘은 바라고 있다는 것입니다.

그러면 하나님을 무엇으로 모시겠습니까? 무엇으로 이것을 전부 다 깨끗이 씻어야 되겠습니까? 무엇으로 씻어야 하나님이 깨끗하다고 하느냐는 것입니다. 다른 것이 아닙니다. 자기 어머니 아버지를 사랑하는 이상, 남편 아내를 사랑하는 이상, 자식을 사랑하는 이상의 참된 사랑을 중심삼고 그 환경을 닦고, 제물적인 제단을 쌓겠다고 하는 그 자리에서 비로소 이상적 남북통일이 나오는 것입니다. 이상적 동서문화의 통합이 벌어지는 것입니다. 분리됐던 지상세계와 천상세계의 이상적 통일이 벌어지는 것입니다. 지옥과 천국의 해방권이 벌어지는 것입니다. 그래서 참사랑의 키(Key)가 필요한 것입니다.

내 몸과 마음의 사랑에 의한 통일은 가정적인 사랑의 통일과 언제나 서로 통할 수 있는 것입니다. 가정이 화합된 사랑의 부부는가족뿐만 아니라 그 종족과 국가와 세계에도 통할 수 있습니다.

사랑하는 부부가 하나되면 그 누가 헐뜯고 짓밟을 수 있겠습니까? 화합된 가정, 화합된 민족, 화합된 정부, 화합 된 세계, 화합된 하늘땅, 화합된 참된 인간애와 하나님이 일체된 그런 세계가참사랑의 유토피아가 아니겠습니까?

모든 식물이 태양 빛을 생명의 요소로 흡수하는 것과 마찬가지로 인간들에게는 사랑이 생명의 요소가 되는 것입니다. 우리의 소망은 영원히 참사랑과 더불어 흠모하면서 살 수 있는 지상천국이나 천상천국이 건설되는것입니다.

그러나 이 세상에는 모든 것의 주인격으로 등장할 수 있는 놀라운 인생의 가치와 그 특권적인 권한을 가진 참사랑의 주체자 혹은 대상자가 과연 얼마나 존재하겠습니까? 오늘 이 자리에 참석하신 여러분께서는 부디 이것을 잊지 말고 몸과 마음이 하나되도록 노력함으로써 자기 부부끼리 더 높이 위할 수 있는 사랑함에서부터 가정과 민족과 국가와 세계를 사랑할 수 있는 참된 사람과 가정이 되기를 바랍니다.

만일 그렇게 되면 남북통일은 이미 성사된 것이나 다름없습니다. 아무리 강한 주체사상이라 할지라도 하나님의 사랑 가운데에는 힘없이 흡수되어 소멸되고 말 것입니다. 참사랑하는 마음을 갖게 되면 남북통일은 절대 문제가 되지 않습니다. 뿐만 아니라동서문제나 세계적 남북 빈부격차 문제도 이 하나님의 참사랑을 가지고 완전하게 해결할 수 있습니다.

이와 같은 하나님의 이상을 중심삼고 세계의 이상을 소화하고, 거기서 국가이상을 소화하고, 국가 이상에서 민족•가정•개인에까지 연결될 수 있는 이상세계의 평화적 무한경이 이루어짐으로써 이 땅 위에는 참사랑의 평화세계가 건설될 것이 틀림없습니다.

愛してこそ、愛国も可能なのです
　「世界と南北の統一は、真の愛で」

文鮮明先生御聖誕８０周年祝賀：世界と南北の統一前進大会講演文
真の父母が伝授する世界と南北の統一教本より

　　政治をする指導者たちが、国をどれほど愛しているのでしょうか？　彼らに、国民と共に、真心から"共に生きようという心"がないときには、そのような政治家は流れ去ってしまうのです。どんなに優れていても、水の泡のように流れて去ってしまうのです。
引き裂かれた南と北が、そのまま一つとなることはできません。愛国の同志たちが闘争するその過程では、夜寝ることもせず、時間を超越して、困難な環境を克服することができる心の決意と実践が必要なのです。

　「本当に、共に生きたい。死んでも共に死に、生きても共に生きたい」という、そのような心を互いが持つようになるときに、南北統一運動が始まるのです。

　南北統一を成し遂げれば、民主世界と共産世界の統一も、ここから自(おの)ずと起こるのです。ですから、韓国問題を心配する場合は、世界を代表した立場に立って、60億人類を代表し、30億のアジア人を代表し、民族の将来、世界の将来を見通さなくてはなりません。そして、「私は、あなた方と共に、本当に共に生きる運動を展開する」という誓いをしなければなりません。それが聖人の道理に通じれば、聖人に似るのであり、聖子の忠節をもって、神様のために実践すれば、「神様の相続者」「み旨の後継者」となるとなります。私は、生涯を通してこのことを確認したので、今日、皆様にこのようなみ言をお話しているのであります。

眞の愛で南北統一
　神様の真の愛を中心として互いに縁を結べば、必ず、主管権と所有権、相続権を持つことができる特権が付与されます。力学では、入力よりは出力が小さいですが、真の愛の世界では、入力よりも出力がもっと大きいのです。

　真の愛とは何でしょうか？「ため」に生きる愛であり、与えてそのまま忘れてしまうものです。ことさら与えたことを記憶もしないのです。また、どんなに降り注いであげても、疲れるということを知りません。90歳を越えた父母が、70歳になった息子に、「息子よ！　車に気をつけるんだぞ」と言っても、不自然でなく、何十年間、その言葉を数限りなく繰り返したとしても、嫌気がさしたり、疲れるということがありません。

　堕落した世界の父母がこのようであるのに、いわんや、本質世界で、父母なる神様の愛を授け受けするとき、疲れるはずがあるでしょうか？　人生で、真なる神様の対象圏を確定し、真の愛の栄光が不変であるということを、初めて知るようになるとき、永生の論理を妥当化させることができるのです。

　私が、去る1984年に何の罪もなく米国の監獄に入り、獄中のベッドに一人で横たわっているとき、神様が訪ねてこられて、「信じる人はお前しかいないので、ニカラグアの事態を解決しなさい。」と命令されました。神様が訪ねてこられる人間が、どうして私しかいないのでしょうか？　先進国を代表するという米国には、２億４000万という国民と、数限りなく多くの聖職者がいるのですが、彼らを訪ねて行くことができず、私を訪ねてこられた神様が、どれほど哀れであられるか、察することができるはずです。しかしながら、神様は、強い引力のある愛を訪ねようとされるので、昼夜、世界のために心配っしている私を訪ねて来られたのです。その時、私がワシントン・タイムズを前面に立てて助ける仕事を展開しなかったならば、南米は思想的に既に廃墟になっていたことでしょう！

　　我が民族の念願である南北統一は、この時代の神様の願いでもあります。北韓と南韓を統一させ、神様が安息することができる基盤を、皆様の家庭と、私たちの教会と国に築くことを天は願っているというのです。

　それでは、神様に何をもって侍るのでしょうか？何をもって、すべてきれいに洗い流さなければならないでしょうか？　何をもって洗い流してこそ、神様がきれいだとおっしゃるのかというのです。他でもなく、自分の父と母を愛する以上、夫、妻を愛する以上、子供を愛する以上の真の愛を中心として、その環境を築き、祭物的な祭壇を築こうという、その立場から、初めて、理想的な南北統一が出てくるのです。理想的東西文化の統合が起こるのです。分離した地上世界と天上世界の理想的統一が起こるのです。地獄と天国の解放圏が開かれるのです。それで、真の愛の鍵が必要なのです。

　私の心と体の愛による統一は、家庭的な愛の統一と、常に互いに通じることができるのです。家庭が和合した愛の夫婦は、家族だけでなく、その氏族と国家と世界にも通じることができます。

　愛し合う夫婦が一つになれば、誰がそしり、踏みにじることができるでしょうか。和合した家庭、和合した民族、和合した政府、和合した世界、和合した天と地、和合した真なる人間愛と、神様が一体となった、そのような世界が、真の愛のユートピアではないでしょうか？

　すべての植物が、太陽の光を生命の要素として吸収するのと同じように、人間には、愛が生命の要素となるのです。私たちの願いは、永遠に真の愛と共に、慕いながら生きることのできる地上天国や、天上天国が建設されることです。しかし、この世の中には、すべてのものの主人として、登場することができる、驚くべき人生の価値とその特権的な権限をもった真の愛の主体者、あるいは対象者が、果たしてどれくらい存在するでしょうか？　今日、この場に参席された皆様は、どうかこのことを忘れないで、心と体が一つとなるように努力し、夫婦が互いに、より高くために生き、愛し合い、さらには、、家庭や民族、国家や世界を愛することができる、真なる人と家庭となるよう、お願いします。

　もし、そのようになれば、南北統一は、既に成就したも同然です。どんなに強い主体思想であっても、神様の愛の中では、力なく収拾され、消滅してしまうことでしょう！真の愛で愛する心を持つようになれば、南北統一は絶対問題ではありません。それだけでなく、東西問題や、世界的南北の貧富の格差問題も、この神様の真の愛をもって完全に解決することができます。

　このような神様の理想を中心として、世界の理想を消化し、そこから国家理想を消化し、国家理想から民族、家庭、個人にまで連結することができる、理想世界の平和的無限境が成し遂げられることによって、この地上には、真の愛の平和世界が建設されることは間違いありません。

By becoming a person who loves the spouse and family,

you may love your nation as a patriot

 “World Unification and North-South Unification will be Accomplished by True Love”

The speech given at the Opening Banquet of the WCSF Convocation

February 10, 2000.

How much do our political leaders love their country? Any politician who lacks a heart of truly wanting to share in the life of common citizens will soon disappear. It doesn’t matter how well bred or educated this person may be. He will disappear like an air bubble formed on a surface of water.

"I truly want to live with them. I don’t want to die unless I can die with them. I don’t want to live unless I can live with them." The movement for North-South unification begins when both sides have such a heart toward the other.

When North-South unification is accomplished, this will be the beginning point in the effort to unite the democratic and communist worlds. Each of us must consider the future of our people and of the world as a representative of the world, a representative of the six billion humankind, a representative of the three billion people of Asia. We must determine ourselves to carry out a movement that will truly enable us to share in the lives of our compatriots.

When such an effort connects you to the way of the saint, then you will come to resemble a saint. If you practice this with respect to God with the loyalty of a son or daughter of God, then you will become "God’s heir," and "successor to God’s will." I tell you these things today, because I have already confirmed their truth in my own life.

Once North-South unification is accomplished in Korea, the unification of the world will follow automatically. Do you think that political power, military force, or economic wealth can bring about unification? There isn’t even the slightest chance of this. That is the reason I am speaking to you in this way.

When a person enters into a relationship of true love with God, he or she is absolutely given special authority to have dominion, ownership, and the right of inheritance. In the world of mechanics, the energy produced is less than the energy put into a system. However, in the world of true love, greater energy is produced than is put in.

What is true love? It is love that lives for the sake of others. It is love of unlimited giving and forgetting. No memory is kept of how much was given. It is a love that never tires of giving. A 90-year-old mother can turn to her 70-year-old son and say, "Be careful when you cross the street," and there is nothing strange about that. Even if the mother has repeated those same words countless times over several decades, she will always say them one more time.

If this is true with parents in the fallen world, how can we ever grow tired of giving and receiving God’s love in the essential world? When we establish God’s true reciprocal realm in our own lives, we will understand the unchanging glory of true love for the first time. Then we will be able to justify the ethics of eternal life centering on the true love of human beings. Who in the world is aware of such things?

In 1984, I was lying in bed in an American prison where I had been unjustly incarcerated, when God came to me. He said, "You are the only person I can trust. I want you to resolve the situation in Nicaragua." Why am I really the only person God can come to with such a command?

America is said to be a great country standing at the forefront of all developed countries. It has a population of 240 million people and a large number of religious leaders. How helpless God must be that he could not go to any of those people but had to come to me. At least it is fortunate that God knows how to find a person by his love. If I had not worked for the sake of the world at that time—by ushering The Washington Times in forefront of the political discourse, South America would have been completely ravaged by war by now.

North-South unification is the fervent desire of the Korean people, but it is also the earnest desire of God in this age. It is Heaven’s desire that North Korea and South Korea can be united and that God’s resting place will be established in your homes, in our churches, and in our nation centered on God.

How, then, are we to attend God? How can we wipe everything clean? What can we use to wipe everything off so that God will say it is completely clean? This is the problem. The answer is simple. We must clean the surroundings centering on a true love that is greater than our love for our parents, greater than our love for our spouses, and greater than our love for our children. It is only when our offerings placed on the altar centering on such love that the ideal North-South unification will be manifested. This is where the ideal blending of Eastern and Western cultures can occur. This is where the ideal unification of the divided physical and heavenly realms can occur. This is where the realm of liberation of Hell and Heaven will come about. We cannot unlock this without true love. We need the key of true love.

Unification brought about by the love between a person’s mind and body can always be manifested as the unification of love in the family. A loving husband and wife with a harmonious family will always see their love manifested within their clan, throughout their nation and the world.

If a loving husband and wife unite as one, who will dare try to tear them apart and defile their relationship? A world made of the harmonious family, harmonious people, harmonious government, harmonious world, harmonious Heaven and Earth, harmonious true human love and God united as one, isn’t this world the utopia of true love? In such a world, there will be no possibility of discord. Love will be the life element for all people, in the same way that plants receive life elements by absorbing the rays of the sun. Our fervent desire is to build a Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven, where we can resonate with true love eternally. How many people are there in this world, though, who are the subject partners or object partners of true love, who can stand as people of character qualified to the be master of all things, and who possess both the value of a remarkable life and the special authority that comes with such a life?

I sincerely hope that each person participating today will remember what I have said, and will work to unite your mind and body. I hope that you will start by becoming a person who lives for the sake of your spouse, and go on to become a true person who lives for the sake of your family, people, nation, and world.

If you do that, then North-South unification will be as good as done. Even communist ideology is easily absorbed and disappears when it is placed in the midst of God’s love. The problem until now was that we did not know this. Once we develop our hearts of love, North-South unification will be no problem at all.

That is not all. Problems between East and West and the worldwide North-South problem involving differences among rich and poor nations can also be completely resolved through the true love of God.

We must digest the ideal for the world centering on God’s ideal that I have described, and go on to digest the ideal of the nation. Then we must move on to the boundless realm of peace of the ideal world that links the ideal of the nation to the ideals of clan, family, and individual. This is, without a doubt, the way that the peaceful world of true love that God has desired can be built on this Earth.
