Everything that takes shape in the form of sickness, poverty, flash of worry or anger, and so on, is a manifestation of karma (thoughts, words, and actions from a past consciousness), appearing at the moment when it is supposed to vanish away.
Therefore, when they arise in your life, Goi Sensei does not recommend searching for the hidden causes behind them by digging up the mistaken attitudes that you may have held in the past. Instead, he recommends thinking that all this suffering and wrong thoughts are occurring in the process of fading away, Kieteyuku Sugata*, and that they will absolutely vanish into nothingness if you throw them into the Prayer for World Peace with gratitude to your Shugo-rei and Shugo-jin. You keep practicing this simple-mindedly at any moment, day and night.
Then, once your Gō-sōnen has entirely disappeared, you will know that you are one with your Shugo-rei and Shugo-jin, and your Hon-shin* will shine through and a truly wonderful world will take shape around you.
Notes:
Kieteyuku Sugata: The process of fading away, literally translated, which is the essential view in the practice of praying the Prayer for World Peace.
Shugo-rei and Shugo-jin: The guardian spirits and guardian divinity who always protect and guide a person for his or her salvation. Goi Sensei teaches us that your main Shugo-rei, or guardian spirit, is your spiritual parent and an awakened spirit of your ancestor and that Shugo-jin are guardian divinities, branched out from Choku-rei, or the Direct Spirit, to cooperate with Shugo-rei to develop the person’s Hon-shin.
Gō-sōnen: Karmic thoughts which came to exist when we defined ourselves as physical entities. They have been accumulated in the subconscious realm of humans from the past lives up to the present.
Hon-shin: The true mind, literally translated, is the divine self of a person, or real you, that comes from and resides in the Divine world.
