『おふでさき註釈』、p. 61

五七、五八、次々によろづたすけのつとめを教え、理を説き聴かせて、親神の教を知ると知らぬの順序を明らかにする。日々親神の急き込んでいる事は、この事ばかりである。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:51

IV:57

God will teach the path to universal salvation in a step-by-step manner. The phrase “universal salvation” refers to any and every kind of salvation. Through teaching us all about the path by which we can receive any and every kind of salvation, God will distinguish between “Kara and Nihon,” a phrase that appears repeatedly in this Scripture and that refers to those who do not understand God the Parent’s intention and those who do.

IV:58

The verse is saying that God is focusing solely on quickly distinguishing between Kara and Nihon.
