357 Awakening to God’s Truth

357 Awakening to God’s Truth

“Awakening to God’s Truth”

We humans are small beings;
Earth is magnificent and the universe has no bounds.
Objectively, it must appear as though
We are tiny and alone in the infinity of space.

However, human beings are great.
The source of this greatness is our souls’ birthplace.
Because our souls were created by God,
We in turn have the power to create.

Our lives are brief.
During their span, our perceptions are tested.

Shakamuni Buddha realized “the oneness of the universe and ourselves”
Christ realized “God’s love”
Both are the great spiritual heritage of humanity.
The greatness lies in their teachings of God’s truth.

The chance of realization is always available to us.
In the depths of misery, we find a book of divine philosophy.
Among suffering and conflict, we meet an enlightened person.
By these encounters, people are guided to God’s truth.

Meeting with God’s truth awakens us.
Even if we have many troubles and contradictions,
We must decide to live honestly.

Then our lives will begin to shine.

「神理への目覚め」

私たち人間はちっぽけな存在だ
地球は雄大で宇宙は果てしない
広大無辺な空間の中でポツンと存在する
それが私たちの客観的な姿だろう

しかし私たち人間は偉大な存在だ
その偉大さの根源は魂の出自にある
魂は神により創造されたからだ
故に人間は創造する力を持つ

私たちの人生は儚く短い
その中で何を悟るかを試されている

釈迦牟尼仏は「宇宙即我」を悟り
キリストは「神の愛」を悟った
いずれも人類の偉大なる精神的遺産
その偉大さはふたりが語る神理にある

人生には必ず悟りの縁が用意してある
不幸のどん底で出会う神理の書
苦悩や葛藤の中で出会う覚者
出会いにより人は神理へと導かれる

神理に出合い、そして目覚める
あらゆる葛藤や矛盾を抱えながらも
真直に生きる決意をするのだ

そして人生は輝きを放ちはじめる
