5:50 Though you may wonder at what miraculous things I will do with My free and unlimited workings, I shall discern the sincerity of your minds and immediately respond accordingly with a return.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 79

五〇、親神の自由自在の働きと言えば、どんな不思議な事をするのかと思うであろうが、親神は人間の真実の心を見定め、直ぐそれに応じてかやしをするのである。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:56

This is a particularly important verse, isn’t it? It indicates the nature of God’s workings. The verse says, “I shall give returns when I accept your minds.” The Japanese word “shidai,” which is translated here as “when,” can mean both “immediately after” and “in response to.” God’s returns will depend only on our minds. God will give returns according to our state of mind. This is something that is taught repeatedly throughout the Ofudesaki. A concise way of explaining God’s workings is to say that they are blessings according to the state of mind.
