Master Woo Myung Words of Enlightenment – People live according to their minds – One who has the true world in his mind will live without death
Ever since we were little, we went to kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and then studied in specialized fields in society according to what we majored in. One who studied law makes a living practicing law, a person who learned about architecture makes a living as an architect, and a person who studied computers makes a living with computers. One lives in this world with what he has in his mind.
Some who have an ability in their minds make their living with that ability. If you are equipped with an ability in the mind, you will be capable and will therefore live well. When you simply do the work that you do, do not have other distracting thoughts, and are second to none in what you do, you can live well because you are capable. Also, if you are humble and are considerate of others, there will be no blockages and you can live well. Just as you live your life according to what you have in your mind, when a person who has the false world in his mind comes to have the true world in his mind and is born again in the true world, he can live forever without death. This is why it is said God, Buddha, Allah exists within me, and that the land of God, Buddha, Allah exists within me. Only the one who makes it exist within his mind while living can live eternally in the Land of Truth and live forever.
Whether one lives or dies also depends on what he has in his mind.
One who is born in the true world will live, and one who lives in the false world will end up dying when he dies. What you have “eaten” or taken into your mind is what exists in your mind. You will live according to what exists in your mind.
