๐ INTRODUCTION
โจ In this profound reflection, Master Woo Myung teaches that man knows nothing, for all human knowledge comes from a self-centered, false perspective. ๐ฟ
People speak only from their individual minds, built from fixed conceptions and habits. Therefore, the words and thoughts of man are delusions, not Truth.
Only when oneโs false mind disappears and becomes the one Mind of Truth, can true knowing arise. In that state, there is no separationโonly oneness and perfect understanding. ๐
๐ ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Man Knows Nothing
Man knows nothing.
What this means is that
man is able to speak only from
his own self-centered perspective.
But there can be no Truth in this.
There are countless people in the world,
and these countless people all have countless different thoughts,
for they each have minds of their own,
which in turn are the products of
their fixed conceptions and habits.
Therefore, they are only able to speak their delusions.
The people of this world fight amongst each other,
for they have different minds.
Those who have the one Mind of Truth
will be able to know each othersโ thoughts
and will thus be of the one Mind.
โ Woo Myung
๐ REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn to discard the false self-centered mind and awaken to the one Mind of Truth. ๐ฑ
In that true consciousness, conflict disappears, and all beings share the same understanding and peace.
This is the realm where knowing arises from Truth itself, not from illusion. ๐
