āØ About This Reading
In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the profound meaning of natureās flow. All things in the universe arise and change according to the great order of nature, not by human control or effort. When people resist this natural flow, they face conflict and suffering; when they live in harmony with it, life becomes like waterāever-flowing, free, and without obstruction. Just as water ultimately returns to the ocean, we too can reach the complete and eternal world when we discard conflict and live within natureās order. š±šš§šæšļø

What Is 'Nature's Flow'?
āNatureās flowā means everything is based on and happens according to a certain order. Everything in the world took place, and is still taking place, according to natureās flow. Thus natureās flow, or universal order, is the work of the world; it is the work of heaven and earth. People try to fix and change this universal order, but each time they do so they encounter severe disasters and suffer. And when this happens they look to God, because they cannot overcome these disasters.
It is not by God that people live; they live by natureās flow. Teaching people about natureās flow is a big task. Teaching people the laws of heaven is called chundo (meaning the way to heaven) but natureās flow is something that must be taught to man and earth specifically. Natureās flow is to be within order; and to be within order is to be like water that flows; and to be like water that flows is to be without conflict and stagnation. To not stagnate is to be alive; and to be alive is to be able to always move forward. To be able to always move forward is to be able to arrive in the complete world. From the waterās point of view, the complete world is like the ocean, which is without words, free, at peace, and without qualms. In the complete world, the conditions for life for all things are the same - there are no causes for dissatisfaction because all things are one. This is what it is to be complete.
