The 36th Method :
Waiiting on Heaven(Daecheon)... Awaiting the Divine Ressponse... Matter 42.
"Waiiting on Heaven"
(Daecheon) means that a person of ultimate sincerity patiently waits
for the certain and inevitable response from God.
Without a deep devotion that anticipates God′s mutual response,
there is no true sincerity toward God.
Because there is no limit to waiting for God′s response,
there is likewise no limit to the sincerity one offerss.
Evenif the moment for a divine response seems to have passed,
one never ceases their heartfelt sincerity in beliving and trusting in God.
[Original Text]
■ 待天者는 待天必有感應於至誠之人也라 (대천자는 대천필유감응어지성지인야라)
Those who wait on Heaven wait with the conviction that Heaven will
surely respond to a person of absolute sincerity.
■ 無待天之深則無信 天之誠이면 (무대천지심즉무신 천지성이면)
If one lacks the depth of waiting on Heaven,
they lack trus faith and genuine sincerity toward Heaven.
■ 待天之無限而誠亦無限하야 (대천지무한이성역무한하야)
As one′s waiting on Heaven is boundless,
their devotion and sincerity also become utterly infinite.
■ 雖經感應이라도 自不已信天之誠也니라. (수경감응이라도 자불이신천지성야니라.)
Even if the anticipaed response has already passed,
they do not stop on their own accord trom believing in Heaven
with unwavering sincerity.
