Master Woo Myung Quote – People See Outward Appearances but Truth Sees the Inner Heart
In the Bible, it is said that people see outward appearances but Jehovah sees the inner heart. This means people judge others based on their appearance.
Man’s mind is a bundle of attachments, therefore it is filled with self-centered and selfish minds. A person is judged to be a good person if he pretends to be nice, knowledgeable, great, modest, wealthy, well-mannered, and humble. Moreover, these days a person’s worth is judged not by his heart but by external factors such as how much money he has, what car he drives, which house he lives in, and whether or not he wears designer clothes. But from Truth’s point of view, there is nothing of value in man’s filthy and evil body and mind.
A person of true value is one who has become Truth; a person who has become Truth is Truth and as such, he is complete.
A person doing the second level of the meditation can see the limitations of the consciousness of someone doing the first level of meditation. In the same way, when Truth sees a person who has done levels seven and eight, he can see the limitations of that person’s consciousness – the areas he has not been able to become Truth itself and complete. Truth looks only at whether a person’s mind has become the pure Energy and Light of Truth. This is what Truth wishes people would become.
