Ofudesaki Part 14, verses 72–92

The cleansing of the heart, guidance by means of bodily disorders, and the Parent’s admonition and regret

(72) Hereafter, I shall truly begin to sweep clean the heart of everyone, whoever you may be.

(73) How do you think this sweeping is to be done? There is no knowing how I shall admonish you.1

(74) Whatever happens, do not worry. Everything that happens is an admonition by the Parent.2

(75) No matter how I try to tell you the truth by words, there is no understanding. Oh, the regret of the Parent…3

(76) Therefore, the Parent will enter the body. There is no knowing what I shall do.

(77) However trying your condition may be, it is not an illness but the regret of the Parent.4

The way to clear away the Parent’s regret is the Service done single-heartedly

(78) I do not direct this talk at a particular place. You are all children of Mine, the Parent.5

(79) When the regret of the true Parent comes out, perhaps no one knows the way to settle it.6

(80) But if you are truly sincere, I shall teach you everything [whatsoever].

(81) There is no knowing what I shall say, but should you reject it, I shall withdraw at once.

(82) Until now, I was stopped from whatever I did. There was nothing but rejection.7

(83) Today, whatever I may do or whatever I may say, do not reject it.

(84) I earnestly request you to take this path. The Parent assures you, so there is no need for worry.

(85) Do not wonder what this is about. I need musical instruments for the Service quickly.8

(86) Now today, whatever you may do, you need not worry, for the Parent assures you.9

(87) Until now, because they know nothing, those in high places have always forbidden and opposed Me.10

(88) This time, no one will be able to stand against Me. From anyone who is of mind to defy, the Parent will withdraw!11

(89) On this matter, hasten to resolve your minds firmly and begin quickly.12

(90) Hasten to prepare everything for the Service. Fear nothing, for the Parent gives you assurance.13

(91) On this matter, resolve your minds and ponder. I am in haste to assemble the performers.14

(92) If you quickly unite your minds and do the Service correctly, the world will settle.15

Nevertheless, when the Service was conducted when this verse was written, it was immediately stopped from the outside. Since the people close to Oyasama tended to be depressed over this, Oyagami stated: “It will not do to be depressed. I will take charge, so be sure to conduct the Service without any concern.”
