1) The Ofudesaki contains two references to the "mind of saving others." One goes as follows:

If you are truly of a mind to save others, there is no need for the persuasion of God.

III:32

In a series of verses (III:28-41)--which includes this one and mentions a child's crying at night (29) to provide a topic for teaching--the Ofudesaki urges human beings to focus the mind on "saving others." What is desired by God the Parent is human participation in salvation and, to help us understand this, the Ofudesaki refers to the teaching of a "thing lent, a thing borrowed."

The other reference occurs in the following passage:

And though each of you throughout the world has been pondering until now,

To My sorrow, no matter how deeply you have pondered, you have no mind to save others.

XII:89-90

This passage alludes to the perspective that attaches the greatest importance to one's own salvation while neglecting to serve God the Parent's work of universal salvation, regarding this work as entirely God's responsibility. Such a perspective, says the Ofudesaki, ought to be replaced. The Scripture explains that salvation comes from helping others be saved, adding that the implementation of helping one another be saved will lead to marvelous salvation (Ofudesaki XII:85-98, XIII:26-49).

2) In the Divine Directions, the "mind of saving others" is referred to in connection with two topics. One has to do with the journey that Oyasama took, which is to say, the Divine Model of Oyasama. We read, for instance:

In My constant effort to lay this path, I even taught children to nurture the mind of saving others. Many years have since passed.

Osashizu, August 26, 1898

Passages such as this (cf. Osashizu, February 2, 1899) essentially convey the same message as what was seen above with respect to the Ofudesaki.

The other topic is the Sazuke, the Divine Grant. The "mind of saving others" was typically taught in the Divine Directions that were delivered when the Sazuke was bestowed. The earliest of these came in 1888:

Sah, sah, what saves others is the truth of the mind of sincerity. Sah, sah, through your mind of sincerity toward others you yourself will be saved. All of you, settle this truth in your minds. Then you will be saved.

Osashizu, August 9, 1888

From 1889 on, the Sazuke-related Divine Directions were almost always identical and nearly invariably included the following passage:

The mind of saving others is the real truth of sincerity alone and, by this truth of saving others, you are saved.

Osashizu, December 20, 1889, vol. 7

The Kakisage, authorized in 1890 when the Besseki system was instituted, uses the same wording as found in those Directions.
