This term refers to physical or mental suffering.

If all the thoughts of God about everything are taught to you, your minds will be spirited.

When I have taught you all of My thoughts step by step, your bodies, too, will be refreshed.

Ofudesaki IV:27-28

Those who come here to summon or to investigate, come because it is God's intent.

Ofudesaki V:59

Never take it as a trivial matter. The intention of Heaven is profound.

Ofudesaki X:2

This talk, given step by step, is about the intention of Tsukihi: to bring forth universal salvation.

Ofudesaki VIII:2

I wait impatiently for My children to awaken to the truth. There is nothing else in the thoughts of God.

Ofudesaki IV:65

God's intention can be summed up as that of saving all humankind. Various ways of fulfilling this intention are described in the Ofudesaki.

The term is often used with the same meaning in the Divine Directions, as well. We read, for instance:

Regarding the Place for the Service, the Place for the Service, listen and understand well. You do not seem to understand what it is about. The Place for the Service is the origin of the world, I say. Nowadays, people in the world have heard about it. They say that this origin is small. There is also what one calls the order of things. Remember the years you spent running and hiding. I tried hard but unsuccessfully to have My intention upheld. Because the intention could not be upheld, the Shrine portals were opened; such was the order of things.

Osashizu, July 17, 1898

I will tell you a little in advance. This time, this time at last, there will be a beginning that can also be called a way of settling. This time, though, things will be difficult. There will be a cloudy day when the world will be overcast. There is a long way to go before My intention is fulfilled. You will need to ponder.
