Third Edition

When I explain any and every intention of God, you will become cheered up.

Inoue/Eynon

If I were to explain all of God's intentions toward everything, your hearts would surely become inspired.

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:44

If God explains every aspect of the divine intention in drawing people forth–that is to say, God’s intention to use them for the work of single-hearted salvation–their minds will be spirited. Although people may be thinking that they have received God’s reproof and admonition, they will realize the true nature of the affliction. Once they realize that God has drawn them through the health disorder to use them for God’s work, their minds can become high-spirited and brightened.
