In the Ofudesaki, God wants us to understand the Origin of human beings. When we understand the Origin, we will be able to understand why we suffer or have joy.
In the story of creation of human beings (genesis), God from the muddy ancient ocean selected a fish and a sea serpent. From the existing ocean, God selected a few other sea creatures and added them to the first couple to create the perfect body to live the Joyous life. From heaven, the Original pure mind of God (shinjitsu) was placed into the first parents of human beings. With the pure mind from heaven, and the perfect body, human beings should be able to live the Joyous life. But unfortunately, negative thoughts have attached to our minds. Our bodies are not compatible with the negative thoughts. This is why there is suffering and illness in the world.
God’s mind, or the Original pure mind is without the negative thoughts of disappointment (hoshii), covetousness (oshii), self-love (kawaii), greed (yoku), and arrogamce (kouman). This is a mind God wants us to attain. When one attains this mind, one will have health and happiness. The following is from the Ofudesaki:
Having the Original pure mind, because single salvation exist.
