INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals why people cannot truly understand the Bible, sutras, or any scripture. These texts were spoken from the Mind of the Creator, the infinite, pure Mind of Truth. Unless one becomes that Mindβfree of sins, karma, and self-centered knowledgeβhe cannot understand the meaning behind the saintsβ words.
Only when a person becomes pure in heart, cleanses his mind, and becomes reborn as the child of God, can he finally understand scriptures as his own words. This is the age in which people awaken to the fact that they and the saints are one. π
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Reason You Cannot Understand the Bible or the Sutras
Religious texts are
the words that were written from the place of Truth.
The reason we are unable to understand
the Bible and the sutras is
our minds are unable to become what these texts say.
These words, which were spoken from Godβs point of view,
or in other words the Creatorβs point of view,
cannot be understood unless one becomes that Creator.
The Creator is an existence
that one will never be able to understand
unless one actually has the infinite Mind β
the Mind of the Creator.
But in manβs self-centered, knowledge-filled mind,
there are sins and karma
which prevent him from seeing or hearing the Creator.
Just as Jesus preached in the Sermon on the Mount,
only the pure in heart will see God
while a person whose mind is not pure
will never be able to know or understand God.
Now people are cleansing their minds and repenting;
they are becoming reborn as the children of God
and are wholly becoming God.
Thus now is the age in which
the words of the saints are oneβs own words,
and the age in which people know through and through
that the saints and they are one.
