Master Woo Myung Book – Where You Become True Is The Place Of Truth – Dō Is the Ordinary

Dō literally means “path”.

To do dō or to seek Truth means to walk a path, the destination being to get to Truth. When Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life”, the “I” in the sentence refers to Truth. Going to Truth is the way, truth and life.

The world is complete and Truth – the shapes and forms of everything created and where they were placed is Truth and completion. The world just as it is made is dō.

People do dō because they want to become extraordinary. They want to have abilities such as being able to cure illness, or fly, or be superior to ordinary people in some way.

But illness is cured in hospitals by doctors and medicine, and people cannot fly because they do not have wings. Dō is people living in the world according to nature’s flow, without behaving in a delusional way. That is, dō is people simply living, eating and walking as people do.

It has become habitual for people to live constantly wanting to gain something but this only brings suffering and burden. A person who tries to possess or gain something will become possessed by that mind to the extent of how much of this mind he has in him. Such a person will not be able to achieve dō.

In order for falseness to become Truth, it must be eliminated. If a false ghost tries to achieve Truth without dying, it remains a ghost. Dō is completely discarding the ghost that is false and being reborn as Truth. A person who has been born as Truth is the most ordinary: he does not know anything extraordinary and he does not speak either of extraordinary things or the ghost world. He will simply just live.

To just live is to be the mind of the Universe itself: to sleep when it is time to sleep, and to eat when it is time to eat. A person who has this mind does not have any false minds. There is only Truth within him so all of his actions are true. All things done when one has the mind of the Universe are true – all things done by a person who has become one with the mind of the Universe are true.

Dō is the ordinary. It is the world. It is to live as one with the world. The world is just as you see it, it is just the way it exists.
