Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:56
The phrase “To God” is a translation of “Kami no ta niwa”–”Kami” meaning “God” and “no ta niwa” being a phrase used in the Yamato dialect meaning “to or for [someone].” The first sentence says that all people in the world are God’s own children. The verse goes on to say that, for that reason, all of them would do well to see God as their Parent.
