Master Woo Myung Song Lyrics and Verses – It Will Take Time
The wind is blowing.
The rain is pouring.
Because of the wind and the rain,
no one can come here;
if they were to endure them,
the sky would become bright.
Even though the day has come when
the Sun, Moon, and Milky Way are so bright in the sky,
few are able to find their way here.
When the day is cloudy,
people complain about the cloudiness,
and when the day is sunny,
they complain about the Sun.
But none of them know the true will of these things.
Instead they become bound to their blame of the weather
and of others,
and this blame shapes their images.
Only the pretty young Moon in the sky
exists as it is without telling lies.
Nature lives adapting to its conditions without fail.
But man is ignorant,
and so even though he sees the logic of Nature,
he remains trapped and dead within himself.
Indeed, this is sad beyond expression.
The living person is trying to save those who are dead,
but the dead do not know the will of the living;
the dead are mute, deaf, and blind fools.
Great Nature exists of its own accord
and lives as it is of its own accord
without ever coming or going.
Man sees the whole of creation
with a head and eyes like those of a venomous snake;
thus that snake-like mind is a dead mind.
And the living person looks upon this snake-mind
and sees that it lives as a dead mind.
That such a mind would return to the great Mind of Nature
means it will gain the great wisdom of the Universe.
Living and dying both depend on one’s mindset.
He who is one with the great Mind – the Mind of great Nature –
will live for all eternity in the eternal Buddha-ksetra with Nature.
It will take time.
Human experiences –
the regrets in one’s heart and the love one longs for –
will disappear with the years.
Time cures all things.
But even though time may have passed,
what remains in one’s mind will take hold of him.
And when it does,
he will live as a slave to his emotions,
unable to escape from them.
The logic of this world is that
the lives of all creations of this world be ones in which they
see everything as it is,
live as it is,
and have no wants in their minds.
Such is the true logic.
All creations of this world live according to their shapes,
and because their shapes are their images,
they live according to their images.
Man, too, has his image
in which his mind resides,
and so he also lives according to his image.
When the Creator brought forth all creations in the world,
He did it so that their minds would exist
depending on their environment.
In other words, their minds differ depending on
the environment they are in;
their lives differ depending on the countries in which they live.
But man has a mind of his own with which he lives;
such a mind lives self-centeredly
and trapped within itself.
Thus, he has no freedom,
no great freedom.
He has become trapped in his own grave
and is thus dead.
His image is one that is a maya of his delusions.
Even after he dies,
he would relive his delusional life
and so he would suffer pain and burdens.
He is dead, for he has yet to become free.
Truth can exist only when there is Truth,
and such is the true logic.
In this universe,
there exists the pure bright Sun,
but because man is blinded by his mind
he cannot see its light.
So though man has eyes and ears,
he does not really have them,
for he is blind and deaf.
Even when it comes to living,
every person is alive,
but because no one knows this,
there is not a single living person in this world.
A living person is one
whose consciousness has become awakened.
To be awakened means to gain realization
when one becomes one with the Whole,
which is the perfect Truth.
One gains realization when one’s self no longer exists
and when he is headed to the Land of Light.
To gain realization means that
one realizes what he has,
for this Light has appeared
and has shed its Light upon it.
He who lives in his mold is dead,
which is why he does not know he is dead.
Man lives because he breathes,
while a person who is true lives because
his consciousness has become awakened as
the perfect Consciousness.
The will of the Universe is one that is alive.
Though the living and the dead dwell together,
the living will live even after they breathe their last breaths,
while the dead will not, for they are indeed dead.
Once man lives,
then the whole of the universe will live,
since all other creations in the universe are already alive.
One can only live
when one no longer has his self
and has thus become Truth.
That one has become Truth means he lives,
for his consciousness has become perfect;
he lives for his image has become Truth itself.
God and Buddha are perfection itself.
And all that are reborn as perfection
will live inside of man.
They are all the infinite Universe
in which Heaven, man, and earth are one.
And because this infinite Universe is inside man,
they are all alive.
Because the individual and the Whole are one,
they are all alive.
The Whole that is within the individual
and the individual that is within the Whole
all live as they are.
They are all completely one with the Creator Himself
and are thus alive.
They are alive, for they are the Creator Himself.
They do not live or die,
but are simply the Creator Himself.
They are the eternal and immortal God Himself
and so are absent of death.
The true will of this Universe is
that man understand the logic –
the logic being that he can live in the Land of Truth
while he is alive and even after death,
and that all are to live as one.
When all are one,
Heaven will be built on earth,
and those who live in this Heaven
will understand the logic that
they are able to live in Heaven
because Heaven exists.
Understanding this is the Truth among truths
as well as the completion of the Universe.
Because man knows the Universe,
it has meaning;
the Universe would have no meaning
if there were no man.
Man is the master
and as such, there would be no point
if there were no man.
To live is ‘dō (Truth).’
To live as dō is Truth.
Everything that exists
must be born again as existence
and live in the Land that is
the eternal and never-dying world.
This is Truth’s ultimate plan.
Truth’s ultimate plan is
the creation of the ‘Jung (Body)’ and ‘Shin (Mind).’
Truth’s ultimate plan is that all creations live as Truth.
The will of this Universe is alive.
The place that the universe was born from
is the Universe which is before and beyond the universe.
The place that is before and beyond the universe is
the foundation of all creations.
The whole of creation and the foundation are one,
but man does not know this.
He does not know this because
he is trapped within himself
and is thus unable to be one.
One can only know and teach what he has in his mind
and so a person who has the Universe
is able to teach about the Universe,
just as a person who has Truth
is able to teach about Truth.
Only a person who is God and Buddha
can teach people about God and Buddha.
One whose mind is the Universe itself,
one whose mind is Truth itself,
is able to teach people about them
since they are him.
One can teach the logic of Truth
only when one is Truth itself.
The reason man does not know anything is
he does not know of Truth at all;
he does not know it because,
he has no righteousness within.
The logic of the world is
that man lives according to his caliber.
That one lives according to one’s caliber means
one would live according to the mind one has.
It means that he would live in the world
according to his mindset,
depending on what he has in his mind.
Therefore, he who has falseness in his mind
would live his life falsely,
while he who has Truth
would live as Truth.
Only a person who lives as Truth is Truth;
he remains in the true Land as he is
without ever changing.
He who is completely bereft of this universe
will have the whole of the Universe.
He who is completely bereft of his self will live.
He has died only to live again.
Only a person who has been reborn is
a person who is Truth.
Truth is
the eternal and never-changing
origin and progenitor of all creation
that is before and beyond the universe.
He will live
because he is God,
who is the eternal and never-changing Energy and Light.
There is no other creation in the world that has
a sense of self aside from man,
and because he lives with this,
he is dead.
Life and death are one because he who has
the eternal and never-changing Energy and Light within him
will know no death,
for this Energy and Light is Truth itself.
One is dead when one does not have the Energy and Light.
A dead person is indeed dead,
for he has delusions which are not true.
Those delusions are his grave,
for they are false,
and in this grave he is trapped and dead.
He who has Energy and Light in him
is one who is Truth, which is God.
And because of this, he is alive.
Because he has been reborn as this Truth,
his image is Truth;
thus, he lives.
God and Buddha are the biggest and the most supreme.
Though they have allowed for this whole world to live,
man is dead and is thus ignorant of their will.
This universe is the Land of Truth just as it is,
and it exists as it is.
However, man’s mind,
or in other words his consciousness, is dead,
and so despite seeing the world,
he can neither have it nor understand its logic.
Man has lived self-centeredly,
thinking that the world, all creations, and he are separate.
When man’s consciousness has become
the Most High and Most Great,
then he has returned wholly to God and Buddha
and thus knows the logic of the world.
This world is alive,
and the Creator of this world is alive as well.
And because they are alive,
all living creations exist.
To a person who has become free of his conceptions and habits
and has been born again with
the conceptions of the God who has always existed,
life and death do not exist
because his mind has become God.
His mind has become the Jung and Shin
and so he is without death.
He who has been reborn as Haneol-nim – as God –
is one who has come to have the Jung and Shin.
He who has come to have the Jung and Shin knows no death,
and it is with that Jung and Shin that he will live forever.
The Land of this Jung and Shin is the whole of this world.
The past and the future all exist in
the Land of this Jung and Shin,
and in that Land is where man will live for all eternity.
This is a logic that only a person
who has been reborn as the Jung and Shin
and has in him the Land of the Jung and Shin knows;
the Jung and Shin are the Most High and the Most Great,
and so only a person who has come to have
the Jung and Shin
can know this logic and actually understand it.
The infinite world is
the world in which all creations are one,
and so they all exist inside a person
who has this infinite world in him.
That they exist in him means he has them in him.
That they are in him means they are his.
That they are his means he is entirely them.
They are alive.
They are alive for they are living.
A person who has his false mind will live in his false delusions
then eventually die.
But a person who has the True Mind is Truth, itself;
thus he is absent of death
and will live for all eternity in the Land that is true.
Since the beginning of mankind,
the Universe has spoken about so many things
with regards to Truth.
But man has not understood their meanings
nor understood their true logic.
Now is the age in which every person can know this logic
and live his life in accordance with it.
However even at this time,
people are dead in their graves but do not even know it;
even though they have been made to be reborn,
they continue to be stubborn in their dead state;
they continue to be dead.
God is
the God of life
the God of eternal life,
and the God of rebirth.
This God is the God of the living;
the dead have no God.
Only the living can know God.
Only the living can become God.
Only the living can live the life of God.
Only the living is striving to save the dead.
Listen all of you!
Now is the time at which the God who is seated on
the great white throne of life and death
will lay down his judgment.
Those of you in whom God lives
will hear the voice of God
and know that you are alive.
The world is telling you that God exists in man,
but you do not know that this God is you.
This God is blocked and buried by
the strength of your demon.
Therefore, a person in whom God is alive
lives in eternal Heaven while he is still alive.
Now is the time at which
you must hear the voice of God.
He who realizes the times
and hears the voice of God
is the one who is the greatest and the highest in the world.
May the whole of mankind become one.
May the whole of mankind live in the one Land.
It is only when people practice a method
that transcends beyond religion
that they may all meet in the one Land and live there.
May everyone wake up from their dreams
and step out of their graves.
May we build the new Heaven together.
This new Heaven is alive,
and it is one that cannot be had by those
for whom this universe is not Heaven.
This universe must be Heaven in order for
this universe to exist within you in the next world.
Listen all of you!
Let us live.
Let us live forever.
May you change your mindsets,
enshrine Buddha and God in your hearts,
and have the Land of God and Buddha in you
so that we may build Heaven.
-Woo Myung-
