In the Ofudesaki, God tells us how to save people. First we must purify our own minds. Then spread the teachings to others. Afterwards to perform the Youki-tsutome asking God to help these people sweep their negative thoughts. God when accepts our prayer, will place illness as guidance to help these people understand their own soul to purify their own minds. The following is from the Ofudesaki concerning God’s guidance that appears when we perform the Youki-tsutome:

Little by little, marvelous people (with illness from God’s guidance), are seen to exist.

Who by your eyes, this is not seen? 4-10

How delightful, of many people will, assemble.

Heaven’s gift (to heal their illness), saying to come. 4-12

When these people come to our places of worship, we perform the Osazuke on them. They are healed, and we further inform them of the teachings to purify the mind. The osazuke only heals God’s guidance. It does not heal existing illnesses.
