Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:39–40
IV:7
From now on, God will try to hasten people’s spiritual growth and their work each day. The verse says, “Be aware of it.” God is telling people to remember this.
IV:8
Despite a strong desire to hasten people’s spiritual growth, God will not give instructions by spoken words. If no spoken instructions are to be given, how will this hastening be done? Verse 13 says: “Day by day, disorders will befall you, and you will come again. But no one knows how impatiently God waits.” I think that the kind of hastening that is promoted through health disorders may be the strongest form of hastening. While no spoken instructions will be given, we may assume that this hastening may be done in a variety of ways, including through health disorders, although verse 8 does not directly say so.
