8: 2, 3 I shall tell you gradually of My intention and embark on bringing about manifold forms of salvation. Now, if you were to ask how these forms of manifold forms of salvation are to be brought about, offer Me your mind of true sincerity and perform the Service of manifold forms of salvation. If you do so, I shall accept that sincerity and reveal every kind of salvation through the truth of the Joyous Service.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 130 二、三、親神の意中をだんだんと説いて聞かして、よろづ一切のたすけをするのである。さて、このようによろづよのたすけを皆行うというのは、どうして行うかというと、誠真実の心を捧げてよろづよたすけのつとめをする事である。そうすれば、親神は、その真実を受取ってどのようなたすけも皆、よふきづとめの理によって、現すであろう。
