About the truth of single-heartedness with God, there is the truth of single-heartness with God and the truth of humankind. It is like beginning to undertake the creation of this world; I have assembled instruments. It is no easy task to assemble Tsukihi’s instruments. Concerning the present situation, what are called instruments are of various kinds. I have told you. They are diverse, I say, and I have gathered many. Each is a principal instrument. What sort of instrument did I draw forth first? You do not understand, although I have repeatedly explained. If you come to understand, the path can be laid, and there are instruments that I shall buy in due course. It is necessary to draw forth instruments, step by step. I shall draw one, draw all, draw one. One instrument is to be firmly determined. I shall make earth firm. Without the truth called water, it will not be made firm. Without what is called fire, it will not be made firm. You do not understand this matter at all. If you do not understand, you would do well to come and ask. You may not understand what is old and what is new. From now, from now on, about the path at this time, let this path be the path of single-heartedness with God; the path of humans has worldly common reasoning, which leads to many problems and the principle of sloppiness. “What an illness!” you think at this time. When it leads to a further problem, you think, “What a problem!” About the instruments that I have begun so far, they may be damaged after rigorous use. About new instruments, I want to cut away and repair the new instruments at this time. There is a truth called damage. About any matter, listen and understand. New instruments cut well day after day. There are beautiful instruments, old instruments, and damaged instruments. Old instruments may be left as they are; new instruments cut well.
