Throughout the world, we can see good people, but we still see also greed, arrogance, hatred, and suffering. In the Tip of the Writing Brush is the following:
The present path is covered with evil (greed, arrogance, and self love). Take up God, and begin the sweeping. 3-145
The path thereafter will be broad and clear. Take along with you as many as you wish. 3-146
What does this mean? Taking up God is equivalent to praying. We are praying to God to help us eliminate the evils (greed, arrogance, and self love) in the minds of the world. When God accepts our sincere prayer, God will bring people into our lives and help them sweep evil from their hearts. With this process the world will live in joy with everyone helping each other. The power of prayer brings people to God.
