Commentary

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:33

God’s heart is filled with “the words of God.” Thoughts and intentions that God desires to convey to humans are piling up mountainously high. While desiring to convey them, God finds it impossible to do so.
