To follow the path of the Divine Model of Oyasama means to maintain our radiant joyousness at all times in the course of our lives. I am talking about the sort of radiance that allows us to transform everything--even things that worldly common reasoning would label as negative--into the positive solely through working with the mind. Bear this point firmly in mind.

The path of the Divine Model that Oyasama demonstrated is itself a model that gives proof that the realization of the world of the Joyous Life--which God intends to have all of us savor--depends solely on the replacement of the mind.
