I have no corporeal existence, but Universal Benevolence is my divine body. I have no physical power, but Uprightness is my strength.
Oracle of the Kami of Sumiyoshi
Universal Benevolence
Topic: Divine Love & Goodness
“I have no corporeal existence, / but Universal Benevolence is my divine body. / I have no physical power,
but Uprightness is my strength. / I have no religious clairvoyance beyond what is bestowed by Wisdom, / I have no power of miracle other than the attainment of quiet happiness, / I have no tact except the exercise of gentleness.”
Oracle of the Kami of Sumiyoshi
