Commentary

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:50

After asking the question “What are your thoughts on hearing this talk?” the verse implies that this talk comes from a desire–born of profound love–to save the children, all human beings. Thus, God speaks to humans “repeatedly.”
