Meetings and partings…it is through partings that new meetings arise.<br />
Whether it is a meeting between two beings or between human and nature,<br />
Our minds are always being engulfed with contact and conflictAlthough the air that blows feels refreshing<br />
At times it stirs the deepest scars within us<br />
Even the emotionless wind that comes to us<br />
Causes multiple emotions<br />
There is no way we can remain detached when<br />
We meet with beings full of emotions<br />

Joy, sadness, and painWhen we do not have a map for true life<br />
Thoughts of the future and past arise without mercy<br />
If you have a fantasy, it will be shattered<br />
If you have expectations, you will be disappointed<br />
It is when we calmly watch ourselves with absolute detachment that<br />
We can see a true reflection of ourselves.</p>
<p>Fantasy or emotion<br />
These are just waves and not the sea itself<br />
Do not cling to the waves, trying to ride it forever<br />
Do not try to become the sea itself either<br />

Master of the winds<br />
Master of life<br />
This is only possible through absolute detachment.<!-- LOAD END --></td>

Religion becomes art, politics become art, and education also.<br />
The essence is from where infinite creation begins<br />
To one who is enlightened to Truth<br />
The ways are countless with no limits<br />
However, ways that have arisen outside of truth<br />
Have no soul and may even lead to danger.To connect with the essence we must give ourselves up entirely<br />
To become one with the origin we must entrust ourselves completely<br />
This is a transaction with the heavens<br />
When we completely open ourselves up<br />
When we approach with our hearts and not our heads<br />
We may gain the heart of heavenFor one who has connected to the essence<br />

Without writing a single word, by simply holding his sword<br />
He becomes a great master recorded into history.We cannot learn the essence, it can only be given to us<br />
We cannot receive it without letting go of the &#8220;I&#8221;<br />
Only when there is complete oneness will there be true connection.<br />
In becoming one with the essence<br />
Even if there exists the smallest of gaps-the distance of the eye of a needle,<br />
It is the same as being a hundred miles apart.<!-- LOAD END --></td>

<p>Drawing this line of when we can justifiably take life or<br />
not is difficult.</p>
<p>To draw this line between good and evil is also a difficult<br />
task.</p>
<p>What is good and what is evil changes with each period, each<br />
religion, and each nation.</p>
<p>What is the basis for defining good and evil that embraces<br />
all this?</p>
<p>To take or give life, good and evil are fruits cut out from<br />
one root.</p>
<p>There is no way to maintain life without taking life.</p>
<p>Evil grows by stepping on good and good rises by treading<br />
on evil.</p>
<p>If the purpose of one¡¯s life is not set,</p>
<p>The war between good and evil will never end.</p>
<p>The way to live a life of dignity is to realize your higher<br />
purpose.</p>
<p>When you set the purpose of your life as the completion of your<br />
soul,</p>
<p>The circle of life and death rises to one of infinitely higher<br />
value.</p>
<p>The soul is precious because it is only through the soul that</p>
<p>You can realize the higher purpose of your life.</p>
<p>It is when we labor</p>
<p>Working for the benefit of all life,</p>
<p>Working for our greater selves</p>
<p>That our higher purpose is created</p>
<p>To take life for this purpose</p>
<p>Is the same principle as cutting down a tree to build a table.</p>
<p>The plants and animals that enter the mouth of a person</p>
<p>Who has realized the completion of his soul</p>
<p>Will return to the place of origin together with the soul.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dahnyogaonline.com/_images/033104k2.jpg" alt="" width="181" height="282" align="right" /></p>
<p>When biting into an apple</p>
<p>Or picking a flower,</p>
<p>It is the consciousness with which we do this that is important.</p>
<p>Although many lament the wrongs of this world</p>
<p>The world is by nature right.</p>
<p>It is because we are trying to fix a world that is already<br />
right,</p>
<p>That no matter how much we try, it does not get fixed.</p>
<p>The thing that needs to change is not the laws or</p>
<p>frameworks of this world,</p>
<p>But the consciousness and preconceptions of people.</td>

Even in a drawing, each being of Nature shines with beauty.</p>
<p>For one tree to grow beautifully, there are countless exchanges.<br />
The energy of the sun, moon, and wind¡¦<br />
Innumerable energies that cannot be seen grow the tree.<br />
And the tree opens itself up fully to all of them.<br />
This is the way, not only for the tree, but for birds, flowers¡¦<br />
All beings that exist inside Nature.<br />
Only humans ceaselessly build walls, draw borders, and withdraw deep inside the self.</p>
<p>The stars in the skies appear as if they are spread and separate,<br />
But in the eyes of the Universe, they are one big clump<br />
If we observe the world while doing away with empty space,<br />
Thousands, millions of things exist separately.<br />
When we focus only on our thoughts and preconceptions, the whole cannot be seen.<br />
This is just like looking at the stars and moon without seeing the empty space that lies beyond.</p>
<p>When we lose sight of the origin of our life<br />
We forget how to exchange and lose our connection to our origin.<br />

<p>Just as the sun and moon are suspended in empty space,<br />
So it is, that the origin of humans is empty space.<br />
With empty space as the basis, all things that exist between the heaven and earth are connected as one.<br />
When we become connected to our origin, we become the center of the Universe.<br />
When we stand at the center, our hearts open fully<br />
And each and every cell inside our bodies awakens.<br />
We are able to embrace and exchange with all when we are at the center,<br />
Holding an open love.<br />
This is when we become complete beings.<!-- LOAD END --></p>

It is when the body gives itself whole to the mud<br />
That a true lotus will blossom.</p>
<p>And it is only when the lotus blossom comes to be<br />
Do we come to know the eternal world that is beyond both the mud and the lotus.</td>

An Ilchi Message for the Soul

Laziness is an Illusion







 
Many people use laziness as an excuse.

&#8220;Well, I have a natural disposition to be lazy, so&#8221;Even as they claim that fixing their lazy habits<br />
would change their entire lives, they still<br />
cling on to the illusion that they are &#8220;naturally lazy.&#8221;<br />
To one such man, I suggested he take up rock climbing.</p>
<p>&#8220;Rock climbing might help me build muscle and boost my courage, but how can it help me get rid of my laziness?&#8221; he questioned.<br />
Nonetheless, he started rock climbing.</p>
<p>When you hold on to a single rope with the weight of your whole body, your legs tremble and your whole body sweats.<br />
There is a burning pain in your hands you grab hold of the rope.</p>
<p><img src="http://dahnyogaonline.com/_images/021104k1.jpg" alt="" width="201" height="187" align="right" />This man would have normally given up at experiencing just one tenth of the pain, giving laziness as an excuse.<br />
But he held on for his life and reached the top of the cliff.</p>
<p>Smiling at his own enlightenment, he said,<br />
&#8220;As hard as it was, I could not let go of the rope.<br />
Seeing myself holding onto the rope with all my might, I realized laziness is just an illusion.&#8221;<!-- LOAD END --></td>
