These verses tell us that events in our lives are not worldly common or accidental. Everything that appears has a reason. Who suffers from these natural disasters will depend on one’s own soul, or what fates are in their souls. This is why we who know God’s truths (Tenri) must spread these truths to the world. It is our own souls that monitor our behavior, and gives us joy or suffering. When our minds are pure (without greed and arrogance), then only joy and health will come from our souls. This is the message that the world must understand. This is why God descended from heaven to teach us. Human beings were created to live the Joyous life!. The following is from the Ofudesaki concerning natural disasters.
