Claim. SMM catches more fish than skilled fishermen alongside him not by technique but because true-love addresses the fish themselves — a give-and-take dynamic in which the fish recognize the True Parents and voluntarily come.
Elaboration. SMM gives the practice a love-relational mechanism: “While fishing, if I say, ‘I am the owner. All come!’ then all the fish come rushing towards me. Then I feed them. That is why I catch more fish than others around me whenever I fish” (1.3. The future leisure industry that will be spotlighted is fishing, 248-35, 1993). The address to the fish is explicit prayer-shaped: “‘Dear fish! I am not catching you for the sake of myself. I am catching you on behalf of God, who is shedding tears with the heart of wanting to feed the poor people dying of hunger in this world … therefore you must forgive me!’ That is why I always free the first fish that I catch. I free it as the sacrificial offering” (278-105, 1996.5.1). The result is recognition-based: “the fish recognize me and say, ‘Continue biting only on Rev. Moon’s fish hook!‘” Skill is necessary but not sufficient; love is the operative variable.
