Commentary

Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:64

God will start telling a marvelous story no one has ever heard before. Therefore, God wants people to calm their minds thoroughly and listen carefully. The phrase “something marvelous” refers to a previously unheard story that is truly precious. The verse is giving advance notice of God's intent to tell the story of the truth of origin.
