SONG 8

Hiroi sekai ya kuni naka ni,

ishi mo tachiki mo nai kai na.

In this wide world, within the country,

stones or standing trees are there not?

 

Fushigina fushin o suru naredo,

Tare ni tanomi wa kaken dena.

Marvelous construction will be done. However,

to anyone, asking I do not do.

 

Mina dandan to sekai kara

Yorikita koto nara dekete kuru

All step by step, from the world,

coming and gathering, it will be accomplished.

 

Yoku no kokoro o uchiwasure,

tokuto kokoro o sadame kake.

Greedy mind forgetting,

thoroughly the mind, settle it.

 

Itsumade miawase itaru tomo,

Uchi kara suru no ya nai hodoni.

How long one may look to arrive (to decide), 

from within to do, nonexistent to the extent.

 

Musho yatara ni sekikomu na,

mune no uchi yori shian seyo.

If free and unlimited blessings are given, do not be agitated.

From what comes from your innermost heart,  ponder it.

 

Nanika kokoro ga sunda nara,

hayaku fushin ni torikakare.

In everything, if the mind becomes clear

quickly the construction, to set out.

 

Yama no naka e to irikonde,

ishi mo tachiki mo mite oita.

Inside the mountain,  entering,

the stones and standing trees you have seen.

 

Kono ki kiro ka ano ishi to

omoedo kami no mune shidai.

This tree to cut, that rock to…., God thinking, is dependent on your heart.

 

Kono tabi ichiretsuni

sumikiri mashita ga mune no uchi

This time, everyone 

has completely purified the innermost hearts.

Summary of Song 9: We must remove greed from our minds and go out to spread God’s truth of the Soul and tell people that God will guide them to purify their minds. If we do not spread the truth  and have a pure mind, our prayers will not bring people to our places of worship.
