- Those Who Think of Sahng-jeh-nim
- 1 One day, Gim Gahp-chil asked Sahng-jeh-nim, “Can a mediocre and lowly person like me receive the blessings of the coming world?”
- 2 Sahng-jeh-nim looked at him with a serious face and loudly said, “Gahp-chil, what are you saying? This is the time of wish fulfillment.”
- 3 On another occasion, Sahng-jeh-nim said, “The wealthy and prosperous live in complacency. Lacking room for any other thoughts, they devote themselves to perpetuating their wealth. How could their thoughts include Me?
- 4 The poor ponder their fate and eagerly await the day of completion. As their fate closes in on them, they will think of Me. They are My people.
- 5 Only those who eat My food will carry out My work.
- 6 The lives and deaths of all people lie in your hands.
- 7 In the future, heaven will kill all but perhaps one in ten lee. Do you not think some seeds should be kept?
- 8 People have capacity whether it is great or small. Strive to expand your capacity. People of small caliber are easily swayed. The slightest wind blows them away.”
- (JSD Dojeon 8,7)
