This time, I begin the single-hearted salvation after
having tested it on Myself.

When we look at the Divine Model our self-centered imaginations are liable to speak of the poverty, and hardships that are shown therein. We should however remember that from the point of view of God, what was being shown was high-spirited freedom and joy. The Model shows true satisfaction, regardless of the circumstances. Looking back then on the parent's request to change the world by making their baby stop crying at night, we can see that God's model was not to change the world but to try and change the mind that is dissatisfied with the world the world. This is not to say that we are hastened to resign our self-centered imagination to a world without joy. On the contrary, the intention is to replace the depressed self-centered imagination with the high-spirited and free, power of the origin and in so doing bring to each of us and to the world, the natural causal changes that accompany single-heartedness with God.

This salvation is not brought about by formulas of worship,
or by exorcism, or by calling on oracles.

Having compared and contrasted the two states of mind, high spirited and original with the depressed and alienated, God now wants to make sure that we understand how to quickly get to single-heartedness with God. That is how to awaken to single-hearted salvation with out being side tracked by any further misunderstanding.

When we reflect upon the long journey of mankind I think that it becomes clear that our self-centered imaginations have always found ways to interact with the truths that deal with our relationship to and interactions with the gods and the supernatural world. The above verse broadly summarizes the kinds of approaches that we have discovered and that would have been particularly true in nineteenth century Yamato. It is I think, important to note that God does not criticize such approaches, nor does God deny that they represent a truth to the human mind. The point here is that they are not the way to this one particular truth of origin and single-heartedness with God. Why then do we continue to do these things? We continue these practices because they are appropriate for a particular time, place and level of spiritual maturity. Still those who would be Yoboku and who wish to awaken to single-heartedness with God quickly should be made aware by this poem that such activities are, according to God, doing something else.

At this place, I shall teach everything.
Be single-hearted with God, and from your innermost heart…

Ponder from your innermost heart to understand.
Through saving others, you will be saved.

One could link this to verse 40 and write volumes, however I think that we might gain the most from viewing this as saying that by helping others to purify their minds and make them like clear water we will settle and remove the mud from our own mind. As Yoboku I think that these verses make clear that we are in the sweeping and removal business. If we help other people to sweep their minds so that the one truth can be known then by so doing we will also sweep our own. If on the other hand we work to put other truths into the minds of people then we are just doing something else, like we always have. It is just more worldly common activity.
