5. The Same as Flowing Water Among the words that Oyasama told Shirobei Umetani were these: "When I was in a trance, the divine voice said within me, 'It is the same as flowing water. Fall to a low place. Fall to the bottom. You cannot save others if you live in a mansion with a stately gate. Live in poverty. Live in poverty.'"

五　流れる水も同じこと 教祖が、梅谷四郎兵衞にお聞かせ下されたお言葉に、 「私は、夢中になっていましたら、『流れる水も同じこと、低い所へ落ち込め、落ち込め。表門構え玄関造りでは救けられん。貧乏せ、貧乏せ。』と、仰っしゃりました。」と。
