However difficult it may be, see the truth through your own mind!

5:75, 76 There are many human beings in this world and many kinds of people among them. Although it will not be an easy task to purify every mind, it is not impossible once each and every person purifies their mind, gains insight into My true intention, and aligns themselves accordingly to it. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 83 七五、七六、世界中の人間は数多く、又いろいろの人があるから、これを全部澄ます事は容易な事ではないが、人々が各自に自分自身の心を澄まして親神の真実の心を悟り、これに添うようにつとめれば、出来ない事ではない。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:60
V:75
There are so many people in the world that it is no easy work to purify the innermost hearts of all of them.
V:76
No matter how difficult this work may be, God remains committed and tells people to “see the truth through your own mind!” God wants them to purify their mind and see the truth. God wants them to purify their mind so that they can see the truth through the purified mind.
