Verses from Ofudesaki About God’s Guidance

In the Ofudesaki God tells us about God’s guidance to help people understand their own soul. God knows that it will be difficult for people to understand the teachings, so God has granted us the Youki-tsutome. This is a prayer asking God to help us spread the teachings to others, so they can purify their minds. The following is from the Ofudesaki concerting God’s guidance:

(kono you o)(hajimeta Kami no)(yuu koto ni)

(sen ni hitotsu mo)(chigau koto nashi). 1:43

These workings (of guidance), started of God, to say about,

in a thousand even one, to fail occurrence nonexistent. 1:43

(dandan to)(mieta kita nara)(tokushin se)

(ikana kokoro mo)(mina arawarru). 1:44

Little by little, seen appeared (of guidance) if so, be convinced,

what kind of mind also, all to reveal (by God’s guidance).

God is showing people the kind and amount of negative thoughts are present in the mind by the guidance given. It is these thoughts that they will act upon creating their negative fates that their own soul delivers back to them. God is showing them their future if they do not remove their negative thoughts.
