The imminent arrival of the time, the cleansing of the heart, and the replacement of the mind

(44) Though until now I have been patiently holding back in whatever matters,

(45) Now hear Me! Until now, you have only listened to what I said in My talks.1

(46) But today, as I am hastening the path, all things will quickly appear.2

(47) Once they begin to appear, it will be too late. Therefore, all of you must ponder.3

(48) Though even until now [Kami] has tried to persuade you by teaching various things step by step,

(49) However earnestly I appeal to you, no one understands. Oh, the regret of the Parent…

(50) Even until now, I made great efforts to persuade you. This time, indeed, you must ponder.4

(51) What are you thinking on hearing this talk? It is the result of matters accumulated and piled up.

(52) Know that the regret and anger of [Kami] on this day are not small matters.

The stopping of the drum and [Oyagami]’s regret

(53) [Cosmic Space-Time] is the Parent who began human beings and this world which did not exist.5

(54) Be that as it may, the drum is being stopped by children who know nothing. Behold My regret.6

(55) This time, I shall give a return for this. Beware of it, all of you, wherever you may be.

Clearing away the regret

(56) Until today, you have known nothing. But now, things are beginning to appear—a great promise.7

(57) What do you think this path is about? It is to cleanse the heart of everyone in the world.8

(58) What do you think this matter is about? It is to clear away [Kami]’s regret.9

(59) Hereafter, I shall not indicate anyone in particular. I am watching the innermost heart of each of you.10

(60) From today, [Cosmic Space-Time] will go forth to work. There is no knowing what I shall do.11

(61) The work that [Cosmic Space-Time] will do from now on: perhaps no one knows where I shall do it.

(62) I shall work in the high mountains as well as in the low valleys, here and there, throughout the world.12

(63) When [Cosmic Space-Time] works throughout the world, perhaps there is no one who knows how to settle matters.13
