- At This Time Heaven and Earth Work Through Humans
- 1 One day, Sahng-jeh-nim recited the following to His disciples:
- 事之當旺 在於天地 必不在於人
然 無人 無天地故 天地生人 用人
以人生 不參於天地用人之時 何可曰人生乎
- 2 The success of a work lies in heaven and earth. It does not necessarily depend upon humans.
- 3 But in the absence of humans, heaven and earth would not exist. Hence, heaven and earth give birth to humans and make use of them.
- 4 You have come to the world as a human being. At the time when heaven and earth work through humans,
- 5 how can you expect to be called a human if you do not participate?
- (JSD Dojeon 8,54)
