7:5, 6 Although I wish to inform those in high positions about the causality of origin as soon as possible, being unaware of My profound intention, they all selfishly think only of themselves and are unwilling to lend an ear to My talks.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 115 五、六、上に立つ人々へ一刻も早く真実根本の元のいんねんの話を知らしてやりたいと、親神は思うているのであるが、上に立つ人々は、その深い意中を知らずに、銘々勝手な我が身思案ばかりして、親神の話に耳を傾けようともしない。
