What do you think this Service is? II-9
It is the preparation to save all mankind

Any salvation whatever is all through the Service VII-83
If only you do just as God says.

Little by little, I will teach the Service. This preparation, VII-95
I will sweep clean everyone’s innermost hearts.

By this Service which teaches the path quickly, VII-99
all minds in the world will be purified.

However serious your future illness may be, X-20
you will all be saved by the service done single-heartedly.

If you quickly unite your minds, and with conviction XIV-92
do the Service, the world will settle.

This regret, how will it be cleared away; XV-85
Solely by the Service, everything will be revealed.

The Service, never think that I have other intentions.  XVI-65
I have only the single desire to save you.

But you must remember that your prayers must be sincere for God to answer them. What is sincere? Sincere means that you must believe sincerely from your heart that mankind was created to live a joyous life.

Prove this prayer to yourself, and help spread it to the world.
