What is a paradise on earth?
It is not the world I wish for.
It should be the world that God wishes for.
——————–
I pushed heaven far, far away from me.
In this way,
I, by my own hands, created a barrier between
Heaven and earth.
——————–
I used all that exist on earth
As my own possessions
And as I pleased!
——————–
I made light of how God is also the King of the earth.
But even I who carry this sin have been forgiven!
——————–
O God,
I now admit that You govern both heaven and earth
As Your kingdom!
——————–
You, O God, have removed the barrier
Between heaven and earth
And reunified them as one world!
——————–
We were sent down to earth
While carrying, with us, heaven.
Now that we came to know this divine will,
Let us return to God!
——————–
Carrying all that exists on earth with us,
Let us return to heaven
And become one with it!
——————–
O Meishu-sama,
You taught us that
Only those who have attained eternal life
Have the right to live in a paradise on earth!
——————–
To be born anew as a child of God
And live eternally—
This, everyone, is the true “paradise on earth.”
——————–
You, O Meishu-sama, taught us over and over
That a paradise on earth will definitely
Be accomplished!
