7:107 I shall never say anything ego-centric or something that lacks foresight that human beings may think of saying. Everything I say is said with the distant future in mind and solely for the purpose of saving the entire world.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 128 一〇七、人間が考えるような、自分本位な、又将来の見えない事は、親神は決して言わぬ。親神の説く事は、遠く先々までも見透して一列を救ける事ばかりである。
