2. Your Attitude Towards Being Called - 3
Any era's central figure must never think that he was chosen because he is special. The fact is that he stands in that position because of the contribution of ancestors and the great sacrifices paid. It is not exploitation of the people because you are special or because you are dignified, but rather you must maintain the posture of a sovereign ruler who is doing it for the sake of the people.
In terms of the Unification Church, the nation is not putting itself first for the sake of the Unification Church, but the Unification Church is for the sake of saving the nation. The Unification Church has to be for the saving of the world and not to take the world for itself. At times like this, heaven is always with us. Do you understand? Therefore, those who are in charge of this tradition must work. The people in charge don't think that they are superior and have come up to this position.(130-304)
On the path of faith, it is difficult to receive a calling, but to receive a calling and to follow that calling is especially difficult. Therefore, while on the path of faith, you must always peacefully open the door to your heart.
Your heart must be round like a big rubber ball that has been completely filled with air and you deal with others without any prejudices. Without adopting that position, dangers will undoubtedly arise on your path of faith and there will be courses that throw you backwards. We can feel this clearly.
In order to be in a peaceful position and have a heart that is always undisturbed and in the subject's position you must constantly cultivate yourself. If not, and you go into an enraged position, that rage will cause your heart to receive biases.
If you go into a sad position, you will receive a shock that will cause your heart to differ from your original nature and break. That is why you should always have a moderate disposition, and knowing how your disposition should be, you need to have a correct attitude towards life.
In a certain way, you can see your heart as a balloon. When, like a balloon, your heart is floating high above, you can observe everything. However, as when the balloon loses pressure it comes straight down, your heart can also feel like it has come down.
If you are in a position that is coming down, you must either go further down or push in the opposite direction and go up. When coming down, how far do you have to go? If you go all the way to the bottom, you start going back up because of a reaction. If the pressure keeps going down and you go down to a certain point, because of a counter-reaction it goes up instead.
Accordingly, you will either maintain the downward position or push up from your present position, you need an attitude of faith that can always control the standard or your heart. (40-69) |
