SONG 4

Hito ga nanigoto iwo tomo,

Kami ga miteiru ki o shizume

Whatever others may say,

God is watching. The mind, calm it.

 

Futari no kokoro o osame iyo

Nanika no koto o mo arawareru

Both of your minds, settle them.

Then anything shall be revealed (guidance to those we have spread the teachings to) .

 

Mina miteiyo sobana mono

Kami no suru koto nasu koto o

All look, those people near  me,

what God acts and works.

 

Yoru hiru don chan Tsutome suru

Soba mo yakamashi utate karo

Night day, don chan we perform the Service.

The neighbors may feel it noisy and annoying.

 

Itsumo tasuke ga seku karani,

hayaku yoki ni narite koi.

Always saving you, I am hastening.

Hasten to become joyful and come.

 

(Murakata hayakuni) (Tasuketai),

(Naredo kokoro ga) (wakaraide).

The villager, quickly I wish to save.

But the mind, they do not understand (to its connection with the heart).

 

(Nanika yorozu no) (tasuketai)

(mune no uchi yori) (shian seyo)

Any and all to save.

What comes from the innermost heart, ponder over it (suffering or inconvenience comes from the innermost heart to purify the mind).

 

Yamai no sukkiri ne wa nukeru

Kokoro wa dandan isami kuru

The root (dusts/evil thoughts) of illness will be completely rooted out (if we do not act upon our evil thoughts when the soul metes out suffering)

The mind will step by step become spirited.

 

Koko wa kono yo no gokuraku ya

Washi mo hayabaya mairitai

This is this world’s paradise

I too wish to quickly pray

 

Kono tabi mune no uchi

sumikiri mashita ga arigatai

This time, the innermost heart

has become completely pure, how grateful (when we do not act on our evil thoughts when the soul manifest suffering)

Summary: tells us how to purify our minds so our prayer become effective.  Purify our minds by calming our minds and not taking action on our evil thoughts when the soul delivers sufferings or inconveniences.
