Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you'll help them to become what they are capable of becoming.
-Goethe
What people ought to be is spiritually awake.
When one is spiritually awake, then it's easy to accept help to affirm one's faith in Amida's Primal Vow.
When one is spiritually awake, it's easy to treat them as if they are what they ought to be: good people.
When the spiritually awake person helps other people to become what they are capable of becoming, everyone's heart is close to the Pure Land!
