17:51, 52 If you are to ask for what reason the cleansing of people’s hearts is to be done, it is because I wish to save all My children. This single-hearted salvation is not just the salvation of physical anxieties; My thoughts are about wanting to provide extraordinary salvation.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 250–1

五一、五二、人々の胸の掃除をするというは、何のためかというと、一列子供を救けたいからである。そして、このたすけ一条というのは、ただ身上の悩みを救けるだけではなく、珍しいたすけをしたいと思うているのである。
