What does it mean to truly know something? In this candid and introspective reflection, Master Woo Myung exposes the depth of human ignorance, especially when it comes to life, the Universe, and the divine.
🌌 He explains that man does not know what life is, what a divine being is, or what Heaven truly means. Even among those closest to him—former colleagues, family members—there is no real understanding. People simply exist, unaware, never questioning.
👁️ While man sees only a person, Master Woo Myung reminds us that he has always been as he is, beyond form and identity. His presence points to something far beyond what people recognize—a state that is not man, but Truth itself.
🌿 This is a call to awaken from mindless living and start questioning deeply: What do we truly know? And more importantly, who is it that knows?
Knowing and Not Knowing
Man does not know that
in the state where familiar faces join hand in hand
and sing songs of Truth,
Man is not man.
Thus no other creature in the world
could be more ignorant than man.
It is funny how
neither the people at the institute where I used to work
nor my own family members know.
They do not know what life is,
what a divine being is,
what Heaven is,
or what the Universe is.
They think about nothing
and just go on with their lives.
Whether I come or go,
I have always remained as I am since the beginning.
But people see me as being human.
They do not know where I have come from
or where I will go.
– Woo Myung
