6:67 Because Oyasama is My Shrine, do not ever think that even the slightest human thought is behind anything She says or does. *Note: Oyasama had a human body and God borrowed Her mouth to express the divine revelation. This is a verse admonishing people who thought that all that Oyasama said or did were merely the words or actions of a human being.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 102 六七、おやさまは親神のやしろであるから、何事につけてもおやさまの言う事する事は、人間心が少しもあるとは思ってくれるな。 註　おやさまは、人間の身体を具えておられたが故に、ともすれば、その口を借りて仰せられる天啓の声をば、単なる人間の声と考え、又、おやさまのなされる事をば、単なる人間の業と考える人々に対して戒められたものである。
