1 “Do you think your Father would ever allow anyone in this world to understand his work?

너희 아버지께서 하시는 일은 이 세상에서 누구하나 알게 하시는 줄 아느냐.

2 Not heaven, not spirits, not humanity—none of the three understands his work. Only the true seed understands.

천부지(天不知) 신부지(神不知) 인부지(人不知) 삼부지(三不知)이니, 참종자 외에는 모르느니라.

3 The destiny of the Early Heaven is: eighty years of destitution and eighty years of splendor.

선천 운수 궁팔십(窮八十) 달팔십(達八十)이요

4 The coming destiny is: one hundred and five days between the winter solstice and Cold Meal.”

지금 운수 동지(冬至) 한식(寒食) 백오제(百五除)니라.

Strive to Attain Enlightenment into the Mind

심통 공부 어서 하라

5 “The Early Heaven has thus far been a time of great dao mastery inspired by creatures.

선천에서 지금까지는 금수대도술(禽獸大道術)이요

From this time forth and throughout the Later Heaven, it will be the time of great dao mastery through the knowing of the mind.

지금부터 후천은 지심대도술(知心大道術)이니라.

6 Must we not know each other’s minds if we are to attain a paradise of harmony?

피차 마음을 알아야 인화(人和) 극락 아닐쏘냐.

7 Ours is the practice of cultivating and purifying the mind, so strive to attain enlightenment into the mind.

마음 닦는 공부이니 심통(心通) 공부 어서 하라.

How can you accomplish anything without first attaining enlightenment into your mind?

제가 제 심통도 못하고 무엇을 한단 말이더냐.

8 Buddhism underlies Immortalism.”

불(佛)은 선(仙)의 밑자리니라.
