INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this illuminating teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that what is considered noble in the material world β wealth, fame, or position β is merely illusion. People judge worth by appearances, yet everything within this visible world is temporary and dream-like. πΏ
The truly noble one is not the wealthy or the powerful, but the person who has become Truth. Only Truth is eternal and unchanging, and one who has become this ever-living existence dwells in Heaven while alive β beyond birth and death, beyond illusion and delusion. π
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Noblest in the World
People live in a material world only, so they judge the value or worth of something simply by what they can see. For example, a personβs value is judged by how much money he has and his position in society. However, such things are all futile illusions from a delusional world.
Manβs mind is confined to delusions or illusions which he acquires while living in the world. What is the most noble, truly noble, is complete Truth itself, and a person who has become Truth.
The reason Truth has the highest value is that death does not exist for a person who has become Truth and he does not change. He lives in the eternal land of heaven. Human life in comparison to the time of the Universe is like a dream dreamt during a nap; and although man lives in this dream-like illusion, he is unaware that his life is a dream. Only Truth is immortal β eternal and without death β so a person who has become this existence is the most noble.
