Commentary

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:54

Verse 104 above says that God will work miracles. Now verse 105 tells us that the miracles involve sweeping the dust away and completing the cleansing—that is, sweeping the dust completely out of the hearts of humans so as to finish the cleansing of the hearts.
