Ofudesaki chushaku

3:144 Because this path entirely consists of teachings of single-hearted salvation, I wish to quickly cut the root of the wrongful minds of those who defy My workings (ri).

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 51

一四四、総てこの道はたすけ一条の教であるから、理にさからう人々の悪心の根を早く切ってやりたい。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:61

When reading the second half in Japanese, we insert “no” and read, “Muhon no….”

In any matter whatsoever, God’s sole intent is single-hearted salvation; God is singly intent on working to save all humans. As part of this work, God desires to quickly cut off the root of “rebellion,” which, taken in a broad sense, refers to war. In the human world, nothing is as brutal or tragic as war. The word “root” here refers to the use of mind that causes war. God desires to put an end to such a use of the mind.
