14:23, 24 The people of the world have all been the same, and did not know of My true intention no matter where they were from. Since this made you joyless because dust piled and accumulated in your minds, from now on, be sure to firmly replace your minds in accordance with My teaching and live spiritedly upon attaining the mind of joyousness.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 216

二三、二四、世界中の人は何処の人でも同じ、親神の真意を知らず、心にほこりを積み重ねてばかりいるから、陰気になるのであるが、今後は、親神の教に従い心をしっかり入れ替えて、陽気づくめの心になって勇んで通るようにせよ。
