1) The Status Of Human Beings ④ Lord of All Creation A. Lord of All Creation - 2
What does the lord of creation mean? Who is the lord of creation? It said nowadays that it is a human being, but in reality it is God. Isn't it? You know that there is spirit: the spirit in man. Since man is the lord of the spirit, one can have a direct connection to God, so that he is called the lord.
Man alone cannot be the lord of all creation. How could he become a lord of all creatures in the light of his being himself a creature created by God? The creatures are relative end products. One cannot reach the cause by looking at the end products alone, nor can one occupy the origin, but rather the creatures are occupied by the cause. You are the end results. We should know what the "lord" means as the center of spirit, implying tacitly that God and man were originally one. (32-137) |
