Caveat: 42) 내 몸으로받은 느낌만 옳다고 생각한 어리석음을 참회하며 절합니다

“I bow in repentance of all the stupidity that I believe by feeling only [the sensations] of my body.”

This is #42 out of a series of 108 daily Buddhist affirmations that I am attempting to translate with my hands tied behind my back (well not really that, but I’m deliberately not seeking out translations on the internet, using only dictionary and grammar).


40. 내 코로 맡은 냄새만 옳다고 생각한 어리석음을 참회하며 절합니다.
        “I bow in repentance of all the stupidity that I believe by only following the smells my nose finds.”
41. 내 입으로 맛 본 것만 옳다고 생각한 어리석음을 참회하며 절합니다.
       “I bow in repentance of all the stupidity that I believe by only trying tastes with my mouth.”
42. 내 몸으로받은 느낌만 옳다고 생각한 어리석음을 참회하며 절합니다.

I would read this forty-second affirmation as: “I bow in repentance of all the stupidity that I believe by feeling only [the sensations] of my body.”

Is this related to the fact that today (Wednesday) is staff volleyball day? I definitely feel stupid, through the sensations of my body, when I try to play volleyball.
