13:21, 22 Since human beings have done nothing but add dust day after day, it has accumulated mountainously so that it even makes My mind joyless. It will not at all take an average task to clean the vastly accumulated dust. Yet if you begin the Joyous Service, the dust can be swept away and My mind will become clear of its own accord. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 201 二一、二二、人間が、日々にほこりをつけてばかりいるから、それが山積みして、遂に親神の心まで陰気になっている。この一杯積もったほこりを一掃するのは、なかなか並大抵な事では出来ないが、よふきづとめに取り掛かったならば、これを緒口として次第にほこりをはらう事が出来て、おのずと親神の心も晴れやかとなる。 |
