Heaven, earth, and man are not separate.
In this profound poem by Master Woo Myung, we are reminded that the road to eternal life is through the disappearance of the false self and mind.
When all things exist without minds and without selves, they return to the origin of the Universe—and all become one.

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Union
Heaven, earth and man are one;
heaven, earth and man exist in one’s mind.
It is possible for heaven, earth and man to be saved
because the Universe and one’s self are not separate
but exist as one.
Heaven and eternal life exist
within one’s mind.
When there is no self,
one exists but he is not separate from the Universe.
When he has no minds, and he has destroyed
the demon’s house that contained those minds,
there is eternal life.
The road to eternal life has been long and far
because man did not know the method
to get rid of his minds and his habits.
When one has no minds,
heaven, earth and man are one,
and they are him.
When one has no body,
he returns to the origin of the Universe that is one,
and the Universe is within him,
he is within the Universe;
all creations are in the Universe,
and the Universe exists in all creations.
When all things have no minds
and are without individual selves,
all things are one,
and all things live eternally.
