Beat! If he listens to me and accepts what I say, he is able to overcome the problem

Satan is very wise and his ways are deceptive. Because he’s smart, he can manipulate God’s methods to put himself at the center. There are many people who manipulate situations centering upon their own desire. That kind of person does the worst damage within a religion. The starting point of all the church’s activity is Rev. Moon, and such a person will speak about the purpose of the nation or God, yet he will disregard that and do things for his own benefit. Anyone who collects someone else’s money for the public purpose and uses that money unscrupulously for himself is a thief. The same applies to anyone who claims public things as his own belongings without getting permission. That kind of person will be destroyed from within.

Please understand clearly that restoration is accomplished through indemnity and that this is the road to perfection. How about you, the members of the Unification Church? I always speak in a public manner and I may chastise a church leader during a speech. That is an example of restoration through indemnity. When I chastise that person in public, he is representing the world, and if he listens to me and accepts what I say, he is able to overcome the problem. When I do such a thing, certainly the problem becomes apparent. That sort of public chastisement is the best example of restoration through indemnity. What is the purpose of indemnity? It is for the sake of perfection — perfection of the self, perfection of the family, the clan, the nation, the world and the cosmos. And what is the result of the perfection of the cosmos? The ultimate result is the liberation of God.

Because I understood this, I have totally focused on pioneering the path of restoration through indemnity. My way of life has been to disregard the snow, the wind or seasonal changes; my life can be summed up in one word — misery. I am walking a path which nobody except God can understand.
