Master Woo Myung Book – Mind – The Natural Span of Life

The elderly live in their way,
and the young live in theirs;

they all live lives
but their thoughts differ.

When a person lives a long time,
he comes to know discarding.

Discarding is none other than
the non-existence of self.

To be without self
is to shed one’s ego.

To shed one’s ego
is to throw away one’s memories.

This is the reason people should live to
the natural end of their lives.
