Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:59–60
Verse 91 referred to an example of miraculous salvation. Here the Ofudesaki tells us that this Service is intended to “bring peace to the world,” the phrase “bring peace to” being a translation of “osamete.” The Japanese verb “osameru” means to settle and stabilize things that are agitated or disturbed or to restore such things to the way they should be. So the verse here is saying that God desires to bring or restore the world to the way it should be. That is what God wishes to see realized.
