14:25 I created human beings out of the desire to have the entire human race to live a truly enjoyable life and to share in this joy through watching this. *Note: “Joyous life” (yoki yusan) refers to an ideal life blessed with good health, prosperity, and peace where greed is forgotten.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 216 二五、親神が人間を創めたのは、一列の人間に楽しい真実の暮らしをさせ、親神もまた、それを見て喜びとしたいからである。 註　よふきゆさんは陽気遊山で、慾を忘れて健康と繁栄と平和に恵まれた理想の生活。
