📝 Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
How Do You Know If Something Is Real or Fake?
That is real is Truth, and what is fake is false.
The existence of God, Buddha, Allah is also real if it is Truth and fake if it is not Truth.
The one who has Truth within his mind—one who has God, Buddha, Allah within his mind—is the one who believes in the real God, Buddha, Allah.
The one who does not have this within him believes in a God, Buddha, Allah that is completely not real.
Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise are real for one who has God, Buddha, Allah within him; and for the ones who do not have it, it is all fake and, therefore, does not exist.
It is the same for Truth.
A person who has Truth inside his mind knows both what is true and what is false, and for one who does not, he knows neither what is true nor what is false.
Only the one who has what is real within his mind can know.
