Tenrikyo Ofudesaki - The Original Cause Even Now -
The
original mind of God, the truth of origin, the original cause of all things
is here now. What we call the world rises out of the free and unlimited
workings of that original consciousness and appears to our human minds, our
self-centered imaginations.
That original mind, the mind of God, resides at the "heart", "core", "root" of the
human mind. That original consciousness exists now and always. It
exists originally and providentially before anything appears. Nothing and no
one has ever appeared to any anyone or anything without the original mind of
God. If we make is so now is indeed the beginning of a new world of joyous
life for all equally.
Even until now, I have told you
that now is the beginning
of this world, yet no one knows what I mean.
of this world, yet no one knows what I mean.
