The way to clear away the “regret” and the arrival of the time to begin this
(25) Until now, I have listened to whatever things. This time, indeed, I shall clear My regret away.1
(26) What do you think this clearing away is to be? There is no knowing where or when I may withdraw.2
(27) This regret from My long journey till now: know that it is not a small matter.
(28) From now on, I shall give returns for it. Be aware of it, all of you.3
(29) Without saying who it is to be, [Cosmic Space-Time] is watching everyone throughout the world closely.4
(30) Whatever you may say or think, there is nothing that [Cosmic Space-Time] does not know.
(31) Hereafter, whatever I shall do, [Cosmic Space-Time] will give you notice of it beforehand.5
(32) From now on, if the regret of [Cosmic Space-Time] appears, there is no knowing what will happen.6
(33) Today, everything has piled up to its limit. Watch! I shall clear away the regret of [Kami].7
The significance of the Kanrodai and [Kami]’s regret over its removal
(34) Until now, no one has known the Jiba of Origin, where I began the human beings of this world.
(35) This time, by all means, I wish to teach this truth clearly to the entire world.8
(36) Therefore, I began to set up the Kanrodai. It is for the place of the true origin.9
(37) The reason I began such a thing is that I desire to save the whole world.10
(38) Despite this, it was taken away by My children who knew nothing. Behold My regret!11
(39) Listen carefully! There is no knowing what kinds of returns will be given hereafter.12
(40) This regret of [Cosmic Space-Time]: it is by no means a small matter.
(41) About the returns: do not think of them as small matters. There is no knowing what [Cosmic Space-Time] will do.
(42) What do all of you think of this talk? The regret of [Kami] is indeed great.13
(43) Though until now I have passed through every kind of path step by step,
(44) As the appointed time has not yet come, I have been keeping still.
(45) Now, the day is fully pressing. At the appointed time, I shall give the returns at once.
(46) When do you think this day will come? When the twenty-sixth day has come.14
(47) Thereafter, I shall reveal all the true mind of everyone of you by all means.
The deep love of the Parent for the children and showing proof of marvelous salvation by means of the Salvation Service
(48) Do not wonder why I say such things. I speak out of My deep love for you.
(49) For all of you children in the world, there is only love in the thoughts of [Cosmic Space-Time].
(50) Therefore, I desire to sweep clean the heart of everyone throughout the world.
(51) Why do you think I desire this sweeping? It is because My thoughts are only for your salvation.
(52) The salvation is not just to cure illness. I intend it to be a marvelous salvation.15
(53) What do you think this salvation is? It is to be free from illness, death, and weakening.16
(54) Such a thing has been unknown anywhere until now. I desire to show you the proof of it.
(55) It is a thing not to be found anywhere until now. At this time, [Kami] desires to begin it.17
