Commentary

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:35

God is trying to inform people “quickly.” God is trying to communicate through a child’s crying at night. It should not, therefore, be taken as an annoying situation. In fact, this applies not just to a child’s crying at night but to “whatever occurs,” in which God’s intention should be perceived.
