『おふでさき註釈』、p. 65

九二、日々につとめ人衆の者はしっかりせよ、心を静めてとふきづとめの手を早く付けるようにせよ。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:59

God asks the Service performers, those entrusted with the Service, to “be firm.” God also instructs them to “calm [their] minds and learn the hand movements quickly.” The word “te” in the original means “hand movements” in this instance, too. God desires people to quickly learn the hand movements for the Service. The responsibility of those who perform the Service is extremely weighty since the Service is the all-important “path of salvation for the entire world.”
