📖 Introduction
🌅 Dusk is a quiet hour — a moment between light and darkness. It is often when one reflects upon life.
In this poetic reflection, Master Woo Myung speaks of life as a long detour filled with tears and agony, only to discover that nothing truly remains from worldly achievements. Yet at dusk, something deeper appears. ✨
By the will of the Universe, he reaches Truth — and what remains is not regret, but an overflowing heart.
🕊️ Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
Dusk
What remained of
the billion-mile detour I had taken called life
was nothing more than tears and agony.
There was nothing I had achieved or not achieved
while living in the world.
But dusk came once again.
By the will of the Universe,
I have been able to reach Truth,
and what has remained of this is my overflowing heart.
Human life is a pointless dream,
which one lives not knowing that he will eventually die.
I wish people of the world knew what I alone know
and thus live their lives with wisdom;
this is my desire — a desire I am unable to shake off.
I alone am in constant turmoil concerning
whether or not my wish will be accepted by people.
I alone wonder when the day will come;
I alone await the day when the world becomes one.
I look back on the habits I had.
I have no regrets or longing.
Only I and I alone
live free of the life I lived wrongfully;
thus I am no longer of my self,
but only my true self exists as it is.
I worry ceaselessly
and watch my non-existent self.
— Woo Myung
🌠 Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, dusk symbolizes awakening. 🌌
Worldly accomplishments fade like daylight, yet Truth remains. When the false self dissolves, regret disappears. What remains is clarity and a heart that longs for the world to awaken as one.
Life may appear as a detour,
but Truth transforms it into completion.
When the self disappears, only the true self exists.
