5:23 It is like how you human beings admonish your children. You become angry out of your love for them and because you are concerned for their future. Never think that anything I do is done out of spite. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 75–6 二三、人間が、我が子に対して意見をするのも同じ事である。腹を立てるのも、その子の身を思い将来を思う我が子可愛いい上からするので、決して、憎む余りにするのではない。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:50
Drawing the analogy of human parental emotions, the verse tells people to think about why they admonish or reprimand their children. Any anger parents might feel, says the verse, is most likely to come from parental love.
