The paths that humankind has passed through until now and the regret of [Cosmic Space-Time]; the way to clear away this regret—the Service
(89) No one knows what kinds of paths humankind has passed through from the beginning until now.1
(90) From now on, I shall tell you about every kind of path and all of their courses step by step.
(91) When you hear of all these courses from [Cosmic Space-Time], you will understand that My regret is not unreasonable.2
(92) After [Cosmic Space-Time] has cleared away this one matter, there will only be joyousness.
(93) This joyousness day after day: perhaps no one knows what it is.
(94) Joy in everything is all by the Service. I shall teach you every kind of marvel.3
(95) In preparing to teach you the Service step by step, I shall sweep clean everyone’s innermost heart.4
(96) Thereafter, your mind will become spirited day by day, and I shall teach you the hand movements for every Service.5
Salvation in childbirth and from smallpox, and the salvation of the world
(97) What do you think this Service is? It is from My single intent to save you in childbirth and from smallpox.6
(98) What do you think this salvation is about? I shall teach the Service to free you from smallpox.7
(99) By this Service which teaches the path quickly, all minds in the world will be purified.8
(100) How are you hearing this talk? It is solely about the preparations for the salvation of the world.9
Have faith that the words of Oyasama are from [Cosmic Space-Time]’s mind
(101) Of whatever salvation, you are assured, because your true Parent lives.10
(102) If you believe this to be true, everything will be in accord with the mind of true sincerity.11
(103) If only your mind becomes truly pure, nothing at all will ever be in error.
(104) Until now, no matter how great was [Cosmic Space-Time]’s concern, no understanding was in the minds of you close to Me.
(105) From now on, whatever Service I may teach, it is not from a human mind.
(106) [Cosmic Space-Time] will teach on every kind of thing, things never known since I began this world.12
(107) [Cosmic Space-Time] never speaks about thoughts conceived in the minds of human beings.13
(108) [Cosmic Space-Time] will teach about every matter to all humankind equally, and the world will be filled with joy.14
(109) If only human beings throughout the world have purified their minds and lead lives joyously…
(110) When the mind of [Cosmic Space-Time] is truly spirited, so will be all human beings.15
(111) When the minds of all the world are spirited, [Cosmic Space-Time] and human beings will be one in mind.16
