Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:41
[Verse 54] says that, if God sweeps every nook and corner of the world, people’s minds will naturally become spirited and be filled with joy. This is the first time the term “yokizukume”—translated here as “full of joy”—has been used in the Ofudesaki. The term “yokigurashi” (usually rendered as “Joyous Life”) does not occur in the Ofudesaki. Instead, this Scripture uses “yokizukume” and “yokiyusan” (the latter word, literally meaning “joyous play,” is translated as “joyous life” [14:25]). The meaning of “yokizukume” is that everything is filled with joy, as is suggested by phrases like “joy in everything” (7:94). The suffix “-zukume” means “filled completely with” or “consists entirely of”; thus, the phrase “kurozukume no fukuso,” for instance, means “all-black clothing.” A concrete example that comes to mind is what was worn by a ninja, who was trained in the traditional Japanese skills of fighting and moving stealthily. When the entire world is filled completely with joy (yokizukume), all people will feel overjoyed and grateful at all times, wherever they are and whatever they see or hear.
