영어 번역 & 자막 헤니엘(이지은)
00:00:00 Many people read self-help books to achieve their personal dreams and develop strong willpower. However, in the end, they often end up like highly intelligent chimpanzees.
00:00:27 In contrast, numerous sacred scriptures, including the Bible, advocate a different approach. They suggest letting go of your ego's plans and instead embracing God's plan, which is believed to lead to the true fulfillment of your dreams.
00:00:40 Self-help books often emphasize key principles: trust, genuine desire, avoiding negative influences, and maintaining focus on goals. They suggest relying on the power of the universe or seeking divine assistance to turn your dreams into reality.
00:00:52 While these books focus on serving the ego's glory, sacred scriptures revolve around God's glory, advocating for actions that realize God's dreams.
00:01:01 The self-help books in the mundane world is focused on serving ego's glory. In contrast, sacred scriptures revolve around God's glory, and my actions are assisting to realizing God's dreams.
00:01:15 Both approaches suggest different methods: self-help books encourage making your dreams come true through visualization, whereas sacred scriptures advocate helping God's plan come true by surrendering to divine will.
00:01:30 I don't make specific plans because outlining detailed steps to achieve a goal can take away the joy if I actually reach it. This might be considered enjoyable in the mundane world, but on the Bodhisattva's path, it's not.
00:01:50 If you can do whatever you want, you might feel a sense of distance from the God.
00:01:55 "Why doesn't God execute any of his plans with me?", "Why does God allow me to do whatever I want?" If this happens, don't you feel like an outsider in the universe?
00:02:07 Similar to the teachings in self-help books, Christians often believe that realizing their ego's desired dreams is a manifestation of God's love. This belief sometimes leads individuals to compete with fellow church members, striving to demonstrate the success of their personal plans. However, God loves those who are following His plan, not necessarily those who pursue their own desires.
00:02:38 Take Jesus, for example. His life didn't align with the conventional idea of success in the ordinary world, and he didn't pursue glory for his own desires. His followers even betrayed him. However, he stayed committed to God's plan, even at the cost of losing everything, including his own human life. Similarly, figures like Buddha, Confucius, Socrates, and many others sacrificed their own lives to follow God's plan.
00:03:04 These figures don't fit the typical narratives found in self-help books. For instance, if Socrates had targeted sophists for success in Athens and charged expensive tuition rather than offering free classes, who would want to follow his life?
00:03:25 Even during his time, some thought Socrates focused more on unhappiness than happiness because his life didn't match conventional ideas of success in the ordinary world.
00:03:35 When it comes to following God's plan, individuals like saints, Bodhisattva, and scholars have done so. They've got inner strength and mental power that help them keep going, as they're with God, even when the ordinary world ignores them.
00:03:52 I'm not saying we shouldn't make plans; plans are necessary to make our ego feel safe and comfortable. What I mean is, we should create plans that are flexible and open to change according to God's guidance.
00:04:15 The plan should be as follows: I've made this plan because I believe it's the best way to follow your guidance. I'll head in this direction, but please feel free to intervene at any time and make changes to your plan. I'll adjust my plan immediately based on the new changes.
00:04:33 Bodhisattva should consistently follow God's updates.
00:04:38 So, we shouldn't fixate on our original plan. Instead, my plan should be seen as a rough guideline that quietly and consistently directs our ego toward a general goal. We aren't certain about what lies ahead, but we keep going, waiting and hoping for God's updates and commands.
00:05:15 Without this, we're not living a Bodhisattva life. Even if we live a life like a Bodhisattva, we're more likely to reach our ego's desired plan. My desired plan and God's plan should align to live like a Bodhisattva. A Bodhisattva's desire is self-benefit with bringing benefit to others.
