| 1:11 If the Service performers assemble and perform the Service as quickly as possible, because I, Oyagami, am the true Parent, I shall also become spirited in mind upon seeing My children in a joyful and spirited state. | 『おふでさき註釈』、p. 6
一一、人衆そろうて一日も早くかぐらづとめをするならば、親神は人間の実の親であるから、子供が喜び勇む有様を見ると親心として親神の心も勇んでくる。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:35
1:11 When the performers assemble and quickly set about performing the Service, “those close to Me [will] become spirited.” This refers to the spiritedness that comes from the Service. A spirited performance of the Service will lead to an even higher level of spiritedness. Then as the verse says, “as those close to Me become spirited, God, also will be spirited.” That is, as those close to God spiritedly perform the Service, God will also become spirited. When God the Parent becomes spirited, humans will be able to receive ever greater blessings. This verse is extremely important. When we perform the Service, we should perform it in a way that can allow God the Parent to be spirited. When God becomes spirited, more and more blessings will appear. What will bring the greatest joy to God is our spiritedness that flows from the Service.
