Summary of Song 10:  Talking about hinokishin of spreading God’s truth of the soul/heart. We must have a pure mind for our prayers to be effective; but we also have to spread the truth (hinokishin) before our prayers are accepted.  This is why God tells us the people we want to convert by performing the Service, do not understand the soul/heart. Remember we also have to understand the soul/mune/heart to be able to convey this truth to others.  It also helps us to purify our minds so our prayer (Joyous Service) become effective in bringing people to our places of worship.
