154. God Brings Them to the Residence Some of Oyasama's words are as follows: "When police officers come, it is God bringing them home to the Residence. When I go to the police, it is God taking Me there. "They constantly come boisterously to interfere. This is like coming to dig for a precious jewel buried in the ground. "It is not that police officers come here to interfere. It is God bringing them to the Residence."

一五四　神が連れて帰るのや 教祖の仰せに、 「巡査の来るのは、神が連れて帰るのや。警察へ行くのも、神が連れて行くのや。」 「この所に喧しく止めに来るのは、結構なる宝を土中に埋めてあるのを、掘り出しに来るようなものである。」 「巡査が止めに来るのやない。神が連れて帰るのである。」 と。
