Master Woo Myung Teaching – Why the Holy Writings of Saints Cannot Be Heard or Understood
The holy writings of saints are often read and even memorized, but no one understands their true meaning. This is because they were written from the perspective of Truth, the true world and unless one becomes this viewpoint, he inevitably reads them from his own perspective. Man is an entity that lives in his mind, his own world instead of the true world; thus he does not exist in the true world. True heaven does not exist in him, so he is unable to understand or hear the stories of the land of heaven. If he comes out from living within his self, his mind world, he becomes the true world and when he reads the holy writings from this perspective, there is nothing he cannot understand because he has become the holy writings.
Man lives his life wandering because he does not realize where he presently exists. He needs to realize that the place he is in is a video, a world of hell, and he must come out from that world of illusion by repenting. Countless religious denominations exist because each person’s mind is different, and each person interprets the holy writings from the perspective of his human mind, ignorant of their true meaning. However, these interpretations are in the end just word-play and none of them can make man real.
The true way to know the meaning of the holy writings is to become the saints who wrote them. If one gets rid of the self-made picture world that has turned its back on the world, he will become a saint. Then, he will know everything.
