Maintaining the Utmost Propriety(禮,례) ... Article 7. ■ Geuk(克,극) means being extreme or reaching the utmost sincerity. ■ Rye(禮,례) is the ritual of expressing reverence to God (Hananim). ■ Without propriety, there is no respect, without respect, there is no sincerity. ■ If one fulfills their propriety and reverence toward God,   God will finally descend with joy. ◆ Original Text(원문).◆     ●克은 極也요 禮는 敬天神之禮也라(극은 극야요 예는 경천신지예야라)        Geuk is the ultimate, and Rye is the ritual of revering the Heavenly God.     ● 無禮則不恭하고 不恭則無誠하느니 (무례즉불공하고 불공즉무성하느니)         If there is no propriety, there is no reverence, if there is no reverence,         there is no sincerity.     ● 若盡禮盡敬이면 天神이 穆臨于上하시니라.(약진례진경이면 천신이 목림우상하시니라.)        If one exhausts all propriety and reverence,         the Heavenly God Will solemnly descend upon them.   ◆ Interpretation◆       This concept is identical to the idea found in the Samil Sindo(three - one Teachings),       which states that if one desires and prays through "Sound"(Voice) and "Qi"(Energy),       0ne can surely meet God face - to - face.         ■ The Samil Sindo consists of 366 characters.        ■  The 366 Sa consists of 366 items/ artcles.        ■ Not only that, but the contents of these scriptures are structured           around the same core concept.        ■ Ultmately, thesre two scriptures allow one to know God.       ※ Furthermore, while one may desire and pray through "Sound" and "Energy",           it is only when one is fully equipped with Propriety(禮,예) and Reverence(敬,경)           that they can truly meet God.           This content possesses a universal persuasiveness that applies to allhuman           beings throughout history and across the globe.     ▣ Key Terminology Note(주요 용어 설명).         ● Samil Sindo(삼일신고) : A sacred text in Korean ethnic religions(like Daejonggyo)             gocusing on the nature of the universe and the divine.        ● 366 Sa(366사/ 참전계경) : Also known as Chamjeongye - gyeong,            a text detailing 366 rules for daily living and spiritual cultivation.
