Until now, horses and cattle that is said, the conditions exist.

*reincarnation to animals exist when one has too much negative thoughts and negative fates in the soul

The past and future (lives) knowing about is nonexistent.

(konotabi wa) (saki naru koto o) (kono yo kara)
(shirashite oku de) (mi ni sawari miyo)                        2

This time, your future to become, from this lifetime

I shall make it known in advance. Disorders of the body, look at it.

*God lets us know what kind of mind we have by the illness we receive. Remember if we have evil thoughts in our minds, we are mostly likely to act upon them. This will create debits that the soul collects, stores, and eventually release as negative fate in the future.

(kono you wa) (ika hodo waga mi) (omoutemo)
(Kami no rippuku) (kore wa kanawan)                        3

These workings, however much one’s body you think about.

*these workings refer to God’s guidance as illness. One need to ponder one’s own mind for negative thoughts, when suffering or illness appears

God’s anger, this will not be realized.

* God wants you to ponder your own mind for dusts, instead of worrying about the illness upon the body

(meimei ni) (waga mi shiyan wa) (iran mono)
(Kami ga sorezore) (miwake suru zo ya)                     4

Each of you, concern over one’s body you do not need.

God will each, distinguish you.

*God is distinguishing one’s mind by these illness. One has to ponder the mind to purify it. Then the body will heal when the mind is pure

(hito yashiki) (onaji kurashite) (iru uchi ni)
(kami mo hotoke mo) (aru to omoe yo)                         5

bad and good are existing. Think about it.

(kore o mite) (ikana mono demo) (tokushin se)

The same mind furthermore is nonexistent.

(oyako demo) (fuufu no naka mo) (kyoudai mo)
(mina meimei ni) (Kokoro chigau de)                            8

Even between parent and child, husband and wife within, and siblings also,

all individual their minds differ.

* each individual has different kinds and amount of negative thoughts and their associated fates

(sekaijuu) (doko no mono towa) (yuwan de na)
(kokoro no hokori) (mi ni sawari tsuku)                       9

Throughout the world, about any person wherever I do not say.

The dust of the mind causes harm to the body.

*these negative thoughts or dusts are disappointment, desire, self-love, greed, and arrogance. When one acts upon them, demerits are created that the soul collects, stores as fate, and manifest as sufferings

(Minouchi no) (nayamu koto oba) (shiyan shite)
(Kami ni motareru) (kokoro shiyan se)                         10

Within the body, the suffering matter, God says to ponder.

*God wants you to be healed

(imamade wa) (Kami no juuyou) (shinjitsu o)
(shitaru mono wa) (sarani nai node)                             12

Until now, on God’s blessings, the pure mind to

(korekara wa) (ikana mutsukashi) (yamai demo)
(kokoro shidai ni) (naoran de nashi)                             13

*one need to have a pure mind

(shinjitsu no) (Kokoro o Kami ga) (uketoreba)
(ikana juuyou) (shite miseru de na)                               14

Human’s own children’s objections, think to look at.

The emotions that build up are from love that is said.

(shiyan shite) (Kokoro sadamete) (tsuitekoi)

(kono you o) (hajimete kara no) (shinjitsu o)
(mada imamade wa) (yuuta koto nashi)                      33

Since these workings were begun, the pure mind

as yet until now, spoken about you have not.

been taught. But watch the future.

(nihon niwa) (imamade nanimo) (shirai demo)
(korekara saki no) (michi o tanoshume)                       38

To nihon, until now, nothing they were aware.

(edasaki wa) (ouki ni miete) (akan mono)
(kamaeba oreru) (saki o mite iyo)                                  42

The branches may look big, but are useless things,

*the branches represent the physical appearance of kara. These can be deceptive, as they can be taken away

and break when handled. Watch the future

* break represents suffering from obstacles and illness

(moto naru wa) (chiisai you de) (ne ga erai)
(dono yona koto mo) (moto o shiru nari)                      43

The Origin creation is small. The workings of the roots are great.

*the growing roots reflect the attainment of the  pure mind by nihon

In all things, the Origin to know, resulting in.

(jitsu ya tote) (hou ga erai to) (omouna yo)
(kokoro no makoto) (kore ga shinjitsu)                         44

The truth is, the received (mysterious) acts are great do not think.

The truth of the mind, this is the pure mind.

(ningen wa) (azanai mono de) (aru karani)
(mezurashi koto o) (hou nazo to yuu)                            45

(sorekara, wa) (Kami no hataraki) (nanimo kamo)
(juuyojizai o) (shite miseru de na)                                  48

What marvelous path there is.

(dandan to) (kono yo hajimete) (hi wa tatedo)
(tare ka shinjitsu) (shirita mono nashi)                         62

More and more, this world’s beginning day has passed.

Anyone, the pure mind knowing person does not exist.

(ika hodoni) (Kami no kokoro wa) (seeta tote)
(mina no kokoro wa) (mada ukkari to)                         63

How much God’s mind hastens to obtain (the pure mind),

all minds are yet inattentive.

(hayabaya to) (shiyan shite mite) (sekikome yo)

Of these workings, the pure mind, the root to dig

*workings are God’s guidance that helps you understand the negative thoughts in one’s mind. The roots’ growth represents the pure mind

knowing person, furthermore does not exist.

*how do we attain the pure mind? It is like digging a root, which is very difficult. Little by little as obstacles appear from our own souls, if we calm our minds and not act upon our evil thoughts, we can gradually purify our minds. This is the broad path, and also the path of the soul

(kono nee o) (shinjitsu horita) (koto naraba)
(makoto tanomoshi) (michi ni naru no ni)                     66

This root, the pure mind, if you have dug it up,

*only joy will come from our souls

(kono michi o) (horikiri touri) (nuketa nara)
(kami shimo tomoni) (kokoro isamu ni)                        67

(korekara wa) (nandemo sekai) (ichiretsu o)
(isameru moyou) (bakari suru zo ya)                            68

From now on, whatever, the world to everyone, to be

(nanimo kamo) (sekaijuu e) (oshietai)
(Kami no omowaku) (fukaku aru no ni)                       70

(sore shirazu) (sekaijuuu wa) (ichiretsu ni)
(nando abunaki) (you ni omoute)                                   71

That unaware of it, throughout the world, to everyone,

how dangerous like the workings are, they are thinking.

*they are thinking that illness as guidance is dangerous, but it is to help purify the mind

(dono youna) (koto demo Kami no) (yuu koto ya)
(nanno abunaki) (koto ga aru zo ya)                             72

From now on, please the pure mind (to attain). The soul’s interior

* God telling us to please attain the pure mind

will quickly settle. The preparation do it and come.

*when the mind is pure, the soul will settle. Only positive fates will come from our souls. God telling us to purify the mind

(sekaijuu) (ouku no hito de) (aru karani)
(kore sumasuru ga) (mutsukashii koto)                        75

this purification is difficult.

(ika hodoni) (mutsukashi koto to) (yuuta tote)
(waga kokoro yori) (shinjitsu o miyo)                           76

How much difficult things that are said one receives,

*one receives illness as guidance

from your own mind, see the pure mind.

*when obstacles appear in your life, always ponder one’s own mind for evil thoughts, always having a goal of attaining the pure mind

(kono kokoro) (sumushi wakarita) (koto naraba)
(sono mama mieru) (koto de aru nari)                           77

This mind looking at, if it is understood,

(imamade wa) (nani yono koto mo) (shirenanda)
(choto miekaketa) (hoso michisuji)                                 81

Just a little is seen, a narrow path.

(kono michi o) (dandan shitoi) (iku naraba)
(nandemo muko ni) (mieru honmichi)                            82
