Be on guard for
‘Though there are
The arts of heaven,
Also are there the
Arts that are hell.

    今の世の 地獄の芸術天国の 芸術に変へなん我望みかも
200   My hope it is that
The hellish art of
Today’s world will be
Transformed into
The art of paradise.

凡人と なり又神人と応身し 世人救わんミカエルの吾

201   As an ordinary person,
Then again, as
God in man, I,
Michael, do save
The people of the world.

超凡の 業としいうは神力を 無碍に揮はす事にぞありける

202   That which is said to be
Activity of the super ordinary
Is none other than
The act of flexibly
Wielding divine power.

自由無碍 凡と神との隔てなく 応変自在の我身なりける

203   Freely and flexibly
Without distinction of
The ordinary or the divine,
I adapt myself
To each circumstance.

神の業 人の業との境なき 身こそ神人合一なるらむ

204   One who works free
Of the boundaries of
Divine or human is
Truly a human being who is in
Union with God.

    神を語り 恋を語りつ芸術を 語る吾はも神のまにまに
205 Speaking
Of God, speaking
Of romantic love, and
Speaking of art,
One with God am I.

    キリストも 釈迦も恋てふもののみは 語らぬままに世ぞ去りにける
206   Christ and Sakya
Both left this world
Without speaking of
What is called
Romantic love.

人生の 花と謳はる恋とても 正も邪もあり心せよ若人
207 Young people! Keep in mind
There are positive and there are
Negative aspects to the
Romantic love that is
Celebrated as the flower of life.
#9, page 3, S6-156A
 
Keep in mind,
Young men and women!
Even the passion of love,
Extolled as the flower of youth,
Has right and wrong.

恋の花 咲かすはよけれ仇花も あるぞ若人心ゆるすな
208 Be on guard, young people,
For although making the
Flower of romantic love bloom
Is good, there are those
Flowers that bite back. 
#10, page 3, S6-158B
 
恋に勝ち 邪悪に勝ちて来し吾の 心の空は雲一つなき
209 Having prevailed in
Romantic love,
Having prevailed over evil,
The sky of my heart
Has not one cloud.

自由無碍 心のまゝにありながら 則越えぬこそ尊かりける
210 So precious, acting
As my mind directs
Freely and flexibly
Within the bounds
Of God’s laws.
