Master Woo Myung Poem – Lifespan
Man ages with time,
with life.
That man ages is Nature’s flow.
Nature is a flow;
it is of its own accord.
In any case, every person lives his one lifetime
in solitude.
One lifetime is all a person has in life.
Man’s life is a finite period in the phenomenal world.
A finite period in the phenomenal world is
the time in which creations are of their images.
Every creation has a lifespan
in which it is of its image;
every image has a lifespan,
which differs accordingly.
The one source is what created this world,
but man does not know this logic.
Thus mankind must wake up from his sleep;
he must know the world in which all are one
as well as know the state in which
there is no life or death;
he must know them and become them
in order to become complete.
