Commentary
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:49
The verse says that, although God has not so far hastened anything or urged people to hasten anything, from now on God will. What is it that God will try to hasten? The answer is the broad path. God will set out on the broad path, open the broad path, or hasten preparations for it. As we noted before, the foundation of the broad path is the Service.
