Tenrikyo Ofudesaki - The Services - Are Not All the Same -
It should not surprise us that the Services for preparing the mind for awakening to the truth of its origin are not all the same; as no two human minds are exactly the same, the ways for the original parental heart to intimately communicate with all of the self-centered imaginations of the world are as diverse as the number of individuals that make up the world population.
For us to go forth with confidence to engage in the task of finding ways of settling the minds of the world requires us to first settle our own mind so that we can be guided by the model of parental love and the truth of the parental heart that loves all equally, hastening and teaching in whatever way is appropriate for returning our mind to its original pristine condition by being one with its origin.
