Hideo Takahashi’s Poems #11

Divine Promise
Goi Sensei would say the following to us:
“You can rest assured
because I have reserved a good seat for you in the spiritual world.”
He also said
“Your life after death will be peaceful and stable.”
What a joy it is that through these promises of Goi Sensei,
Our seats in the other world (including the divine world)
Are already reserved.
Therefore, let us live optimistically and at leisure
Regardless whatever pains and difficulty
We may experience from now on
Even if we were to fall ill or develop dementia.

A Member of the Great Assembly of Light for World Rescue
I can’t hear well even if I wear a hearing aid
I can’t see well even if I wear glasses
I need a cane to walk
Still, I am kept alive.
It is a divine desire that I continue to remain alive.
I, therefore, pray for world peace and form the INs
Being resolute to become
A thick pillar of light for the world rescue
A pillar of light for the
Protection of the earth and Japan.
Now, as a member of the Great Assembly of Light for World Rescue
And a thread of Great Light of the Great Savior
I am an indispensable existence for divinities.
Let me accomplish my heavenly given missions.
Let me be just in accordance with the divine heart.

Flowers of Life
When we are ninety
We have flowers of the age ninety.
When we are eighty
We have flowers of the age eighty.
We prayer colleagues get aboard the cosmic law of great harmony
Assist our fellow human beings get aboard this law as well
And bloom the flowers of our life.
The flowers of life bloom
Even more beautifully and largely
Without ever falling,
Whether we are in a nursing home
Bedridden
Or alone.
The flowers of our life and souls
Become increasingly radiant and beautiful
Month by month and year by year
Aboard the cosmic law.

Praise Yourself
People who pray “May peace prevail on Earth”
Are divine children
We are creators of peace.
People who pray for world peace
Are the salt that purifies the earth
We are light of the world.
We are irreplaceable
Treasures of humanity.
Let us honor ourselves
Love ourselves
And praise ourselves.

Burn till the End
Just like a kerosene stove
That continues to burn every last drop of kerosene in the tank
I want to burn every last drop of my life power.
I want to use up all my thoughts
In continuing to cast myself into the Great Light for World Rescue
Saying “Thank you, Goi Sensei”
And offering gratitude to divinities.

In Praise of Masami Sensei
(I)
Masami Sensei is a person who sprinkles light
She moves just in accordance with the divine will
And leaves behind only refreshing air.
Although she is over eighty
She never shows the slightest sign of physical difficulty
She must be experiencing
And sprinkles shining smiles and refreshing air
Just like blowing wind that scatters petals of cherry blossoms.
(II)
The source of Masami Sensei’s energy is
Love and compassion.
People receive the power to live
From her overflowing love and compassion.
From each of her words and actions
Sparks of peace and prayer are issued
Blooming flowers in people’s hearts one after another.
(III)
Masami Sensei’s words are light
Her actions are flowers.
As an embodiment of light
She turns on the light in people’s hearts
And allows their flowers to bloom one after another.
Her words are light
And her actions are flowers.
(IV)
Masami Sensei is the most humane person.
She is the most feminine woman.
Being a luminous vessel
She moves just in accordance with light
Without taking a single unnecessary action.
She does not rely on human intellect
And moves aboard the vibration of love
Leaving behind refreshing air
And a transparent blue sky.
(V)
She lives her eternal life
That is divine, sacred, and dignified.
She softens her light
To associate with the people she meets
And to merge with the land she visits.
All those who meet her are naturally purified
And open their hearts.
Her name is Masami Sensei.

Divine Sanctity
By forming the Divine Spark IN
Your own divine sanctity awakens first of all.
Divine sanctity is the divine heart itself.
It is so precious, unharmed,
Pure, unstained
Noble, and awe-inspiring
That people naturally feel like admiring you.
