💡 INTRODUCTION
Why is man always hungry, even when he has everything?
Master Woo Myung teaches that human beings are driven by a mind of hunger—a false, empty, and illusory mind that devours whatever it can to validate its false sense of self. This mind is disconnected from Truth and only accumulates delusions, karma, and suffering.
🌀 The hunger man experiences is not physical—it is spiritual. And until the human mind is discarded, it continues to consume and divide, creating a world full of conflict, possession, and ego.
But there is a way out: true righteousness is to discard everything the mind has devoured and return to the righteous land of Truth.

Man Has a Mind of Hunger Which He Tries to Satiate by Devouring Whatever He Can
Man’s mind holds illusions, which in themselves are hungry and empty minds. He always feels empty and hungry because he lives with these minds. The mind of hunger is a false mind that takes pictures. The human mind stores everything that it has stolen from the world; it is a mind that lives having turned away from Truth. Therefore man is a sinner and he is bound to his karma.
A characteristic of the human mind is to “eat” whatever it can, to have as much as it can, because only then can it boast of its own greatness and show off its false self. Man, for whom this characteristic has become a habit, keeps “eating” everything, but this only results in more burdens and suffering and he ends up dying inside this tomb. The human mind was created to resemble the Universe that is God, but since it is not the mind of God itself, it devours everything in the Universe. However what it consumes is false and not true. Falseness is that which does not exist; it is one’s own delusions and thoughts. The word “hunger” usually describes hunger for food. However, real hunger is the hunger of the mind – when our minds are filled with a void from falseness. This is the reason man is always hungry.
Until now man was not righteous and there was no method to stop one’s mind from habitually consuming everything. This is the reason we have been living in a world of continuous wars where people live only for their own survival; a world without love where people hate each other. It has been a world with divisions between nations; where everything is clearly divided into what is yours and what is mine. It was this way because we made and protected our own mind worlds and adhered to our preconceptions and habits, unaware that we were doing so.
Man acts and speaks according to what he has devoured and stored in his mind. A person with a righteous mind will live righteously in the land of righteousness. Righteousness is eliminating all minds that one has devoured. Then it is possible to get to Truth and live righteously.
