Ofudesaki Part 13, verses 1–20

Scripture

Part 13

Part 13: This part explains the Salvation Service in greater detail than does Part 2. The meaning of “[Cosmic Space-Time] withdraws” is explained not only as the stopping of the providence within the body but also as Oyasama’s withdrawal from physical life. In anticipation of the impending advent of the important time, we strongly feel the urgency of the situation where there is no time at all to waver.  

The hastening of the Salvation Service and the workings of [Oyagami]

From 12 o’clock, 28th day, 4th month

(1) Until today, you have worried about many things. But from tomorrow, a broad path will open.1

(2) Until now, because I foresaw all the paths of hardship, My words were filled with warnings.2

(3) Hereafter, as it is [Cosmic Space-Time] who firmly assures you, there will be no danger in anything at all.3

(4) Whatever tidings you may hear, rejoice all the world. They are the workings of [Cosmic Space-Time].4

(5) The work that [Cosmic Space-Time] will go forth to do from now on: perhaps no one who knows what it will be.5

(6) Day after day, looking throughout the world, I feel pity for all My children.

(7) [Cosmic Space-Time] is solely hastening preparations to save you in anything [whatsoever].6

(8) Until now, I have given you nothing but warnings. From now on, there will be warnings no longer.7

Free yourself from human through and set about performing the Salvation Service as taught by Oyasama. [Cosmic Space-Time] will withdraw if you deny the teachings of Oyasama

The 5th day, 5th month

(9) Until today, being aware of nothing, you have used only the human mind and worried yourselves.8

(10) From now, firmly replace that mind, lean on [Kami], and do the Joyous Service.

(11) When it is done, I shall directly reveal blessings clearly. Watch for them.9

(12) If only the blessings are clearly seen, thereafter all will be the Kanrodai for all time.10

(13) Hereafter, you shall not be able to turn away from whatever words [Cosmic Space-Time] once says.11

(14) If you erase the words of [Cosmic Space-Time], I shall withdraw at once. Beware!12

Admonition in order to make people listen to Oyasama’s teachings

(15) Until now, in the minds of those within and those of the world, there has been no true understanding.13

(16) For [Cosmic Space-Time], this is the greatest regret. If I could somehow make your minds clear…

(17) How can I bring understanding to your minds? In any case I must admonish you.

(18) This admonition is not just for a few.  As it concerns the hearts of so many, it is indeed difficult.14

(19) However difficult it may be, I shall admonish My children, one and all.15

(20) What is the best way to accomplish it? By all means, I shall manifest the regret of [Kami].16
