Third Edition

If your sincerity does not comply with the intention of God, all shall be done in vain, however earnestly you may exhaust yourself.

Just this, whoever may come to consult, he will not be heard. My anger being so sever, I, Tsukihi, will only withdraw.

Inoue/Eynon

If your sincerity does not harmonize with God's heart, however earnestly you devote your heart, it will be in vain.

Without harmony, however hard you may implore Me, you will not be answered; for I, Tsuki-Hi, shall withdraw.

12:134, 135 Unless the sincerity of human minds are in accord with My mind, no matter how much you may pray or devote yourself, I cannot accept it. No matter how much someone may exhaust themselves in prayer, if that person’s mind is not in accordance with Mine, I shall stop My protection within the body of this person.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 193

一三四、一三五、人間の心の真実が親神の心に適うので無かったならば、どんなに心を尽くして願うても、親神の方では受け取る事が出来ないから、こればかりは、だれから何と頼まれても、親神は、その人の身の内の守護をとめてしまう。
