OFUDESAKI 11-70
Interpretation:
God descended from heaven in 1838 to the residence of the Nakayama family to save the world. There lived the instruments God used to start human beings. In the story of the Origin, God selected a fish and a sea snake to begin human beings. From the muddy ancient ocean, God selected the good qualities of other sea creature to add to these two parents.

This location is where God created human beings million of years ago. This same location is where God descended from heaven in 1838 to save the world.
The Original Mind
In the Ofudesaki the word shinjitsu appears in about 180 verses. Tenrikyo Headquarter defines shinjitsu as truth, truly, true,sincerity, sincere, clearly, and true. In fact the word truth appears in 73 verses. In the traditional Headquarter translation, God tells us that God will tell us the truth. When reading the Ofudesaki, I was alway excited to read what God’s truth was. But alway disappointed when I could not find it in the verses. Could we be translating the word shinjitsu incorrectly?
Could Shinjitsu be the Original mind given to the first parents of human beings? This is pure mind without disappointment (oshii), desire (hoshii), self-love (kawaii), greed (yoku), and arrogance (kouman). As mentioned in the 2nd part of the Joyous Service, and the Ofudesaki, God created the perfect human body from the existing sea creatures in the muddy ancient ocean, and from heaven was added the pure mind of God. This mind or shinjitsu is what God wants us to return to. It is only with this mind that our bodies can function to give us the “Joyous life” This is why God tells us to return to the Origin.
This is also a mind that God tells us that we must possess to perform the Joyous Service. God tells us that when we attain the Original mind, God will provide us any blessings.
