Among The Ordinary There Is The Extraordinary

By Teacher Woo Myung

Just as there are no trees in places that are too high

People who believe they are the greatest are like high mountains 

where trees cannot grow for they have no one around them.

One who has a large open mind without self can accept everything.

One who is Truth without self achieves ultimate love and intimacy with people.

He loves all has great mercy and compassion and treats others with great love.

Among the ordinary there is the extraordinary.

A distinguished person thinks only he is excellent and supreme

But the ordinary person can accept everything with the greatest mind.

And lives with the extraordinary and remarkable wisdom of the nature’s flow.

He who lives in harmony with the people in the world with true love

Is the extraordinary one

But no one knows this man is extraordinary

One who enjoys being exalted cannot live in harmony for only he is excellent

He is the foolish one

For he lives with his own standards of what is good and what is bad.

All is one

He who is liked by everyone. He who has no thorns, no ill will, in his mind

He who sees everything as it is

He who sees others just as they are even with all their faults

And he who has no mind of his self is the extraordinary one.

Among the ordinary is the extraordinary.

The ordinary is the greatest, the most distinguished, and sublime perfection.

But no one knows this for there is no one who is truly ordinary

One who is ordinary can accept everything

For he has a large, open mind
