Text: English translation and original Japanese

196. Maturing of the Child Oyasama taught us again and again: "It is not that the incorrigible child does not understand. It is that the teachings of the Parent have not reached him. If the teachings of the Parent reach every nook and corner, the maturing of the child can then be seen." Through the grace of Oyasama, the path was made in which those who could not understand would be able to understand, those who could not be saved would be saved, and those who were to suffer would not suffer.

一九六　子供の成人 教祖の仰せに、 「分からん子供が分からんのやない。親の教が届かんのや。親の教が、隅々まで届いたなら、子供の成人が分かるであろ。」 と、繰り返し繰り返し、聞かして下された。お蔭によって、分からん人も分かり、救からん人も救かり、難儀する人も難儀せぬようの道を、おつけ下されたのである。
