Tenrikyo-Ofudesaki - Checking My Vocabulary -Distinguish
"Distinguish"-
"recognize, to separate one thing from another, To perceive clearly". The
work " Service" involves prioritization and a sincere effort to make the effort to clearly distinguish our
self-centered imagination from the original consciousness that it appears
reflected within.
Making that distinction then opens our mind to the distinction between the unchanging true origin of our mind and the temporary truths of the world that we are capable of creating by the free use and play of the power of imagination and recognizing that distinction allows us the opportunity to choose between adhering to original truth or imagined truths. Our choice makes a big difference in the way that we perceive and experience the world.
