OFUDESAKI 6-35
Interpretation:
God’s intention was to have us attain the same mind as God. This is a pure and spirited mind, that will bring upon only joy from our hearts.
We Reap What We Have Sowed Because of Our Heart
Why is understanding our hearts so important in our religion? The following may give one a clue:
(Ichiretsu wa) (mina meme no) (mune no uchi)
(Hokori ippai) (tsumori aru kara) 8-61
Everyone, all of each of your innermost hearts
piles of dust have accumulated.
Kono michi o shinjitsu omou koto naraba
mune no uchi yori yorozu shiyan se 2-15
This path, if you truly think about it.
From what comes from the innermost heart, all ponder.
It appears that our fate comes from our hearts. We reap what we have sowed because of our own hearts. Our hearts collect our demerits from acting on our evil thoughts. This is why God tells us to ponder our own minds, when suffering is delivered by our own hearts. This is the way to purify our own minds. When our minds become purified, our hearts will only bring upon positive fate, a joyous life.

OFUDESAKI 6-33
Interpretation:
God describing the condition of the world before the beginning of human beings I believe through evolution, it has taken millions of years to attain the human body that we have today. But it is God that began this process in the muddy oceans. I also believe that we have not reached our potential that God had envisioned in the beginning. As our minds become more spirited or pure, our bodies will eventually reach their potential that God had envisioned in the beginning. Remember, human beings were made to live the Joyous life. In the Ofudesaki, God predicts a life without death, illness, aging, etc.
