6:88 You human beings may presume that you were born and now live by your own power, that is not the case. Human beings were created precisely because Oyagami exerted My mind and efforts in various ways. *Note: We must always remember that Oyagami has protected us not only at the time of creation but continues to do so even today, constantly each day and night.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 105 八八、人間は、自分勝手に生まれ、自分勝手に生きていると思っているであろうが、そうではない。親神が、種々と心を尽し骨を折ったればこそ、人間は創造されたのである。 註　親神様の御守護は、人間創造の時のみならず、今なお、日夜絶えず人間の上におかけて下さっている事を、忘れてはならぬ。
