When we spread God’s truth to other people, what do we convey? What would make people likely to be more receptive? Do we talk about our prayers (Services), Oyasama, or the five dusts or evil thoughts. These are all topics one would want to teach eventually. What do you think God would want us to teach first?

The answer may lie in our Service that is performed daily, especially in the 2nd part of this Service.  God has granted us this special Service to save the world. In the 2nd part of the Service, God is telling us what to say to others. The following is the 2nd part of the Joyous Service.

Why is the Origin of human beings so important to convey? In the Ofudesaki, God tells us God created human beings to live the “Joyous life”.  From earth or from the ancient muddy ocean, God selected a fish and sea serpent to become the first couple. To the first couple, God added the good qualities of the other sea creatures in the muddy ancient ocean. God wanted to create the perfect body to attain the joyous life.  From heaven, the pure mind of God was added to the first couple. This initiated the beginning of human beings.

The importance of God adding the pure mind cannot be overlooked in the story of the creation. The subject of the Original pure mind is what God wants us to convey to others. This is supported in the fact that in parts 1 and 3 of the Service, we are asking God to help sweep the evil thoughts of others, for them to attain the Original pure mind.

In summary, the Joyous Service is a very special Service, intended to help the world attain the Original pure mind. God tells us that when we attain the Original pure mind, only joy will come from our hearts/souls.
