9:31 If you know with certainty who your original Parent is, I shall accept every type of request and save you.

*Note: This verse is teaching us that if we believe that Oyasama, the Shrine of Tsukihi, is truly our Parent, we experience any form of spiritual salvation in accordance with our minds.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 146

三一、元の親を確かに知ったならば、どんな願でも皆引き受けて救けよう。

 本歌は、月日のやしろたるおやさまを真に親と信じるならば、如何な霊救も心次第である事をお教え下されている。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2010)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 38:44-5

Once we come to truly know the Parent of Origin, God will assure us of salvation, regardless of what we are suffering from – whether it is illness or anything else. This is why the salvation offered on this path is described as being previously unknown. The word “clearly” implies that it is not enough for us to simply obtain information on the Parent of Origin; rather, we should allow the meaning of “the Parent of Origin” to deeply settle in our mind so that we can truly respond to the Parent’s intention.
