Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:59
A while ago, we came across the term “root,” which was contrasted with “branches.” It refers to the foundation or the origin. God urges us to be quick in setting about pondering and “then hasten.” What is it that God wants us to hasten? The answer is the preparations to inquire fully into the foundation or the depths of origin–which is to say, the preparations to uncover and thoroughly understand the origin. Verse 64 has a strong tone in asking why we are not preparing to achieve this.
