INTRODUCTION
🌿 In this profound and minimalist poem, Master Woo Myung contemplates the essence of the Universe — the infinite stillness and clarity from which all things arise. The sky is clear and silent, symbolizing the Source of Truth, where nothing exists but pure awareness.
This Source — the Universe, God, and Truth — is not a being that “knows” in the human sense. It is wisdom itself — knowing all because it is beyond knowing and not-knowing. To become one with this Source is to return to the infinite mind of stillness, where man and the Universe are not two. 🌌
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Source
There is not a single cloud in the sky.
It is so clear.
It is so blue that it almost looks black.
I understand the true will of the Universe.
Man is the Universe, and man has the Universe.
Nothing exists but Truth.
The Universe is silent.
The Universe exists as it is.
People say God is wise.
This God of wisdom knows nothing.
God has wisdom;
there is nothing He does not know,
for He has wisdom.
– Woo Myung
REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
🌠 In the stillness of meditation, we awaken to the Source — the silent, infinite Universe within us. Through discarding the self and returning to emptiness, one becomes the God of wisdom who knows nothing yet knows all, because one lives as the Universe itself. This is the true enlightenment of oneness with the Source. 🌿
