"たすけて頂いた喜びは、自ら外に向つて、人だすけの行為となり、ここに、人は、親神の望まれる陽気ぐらしへの普請の用材となる。これをよふぼくと仰せられる。 親神は、一れつたすけの切なる思わくから、多くのよふぼくを引き寄せようと急き込まれる。"

Our joy at having been saved is directed outward and is transformed into acts of saving others. Herein we become the material for the construction of the world of the Joyous Life. God the Parent calls such material Yoboku (timber). Desiring ardently to save all humankind, God the Parent hastens to draw forth a great number of Yoboku.
