Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2010)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 38:38-9
9:1 The verse is saying, “Whatever I said, you assumed that it had come from human thinking.”
9:2 The Scripture is telling people, “You should never assume that there is any human thinking behind anything Oyasama says.”
9:3 The verse, which asks people to listen carefully to whatever Oyasama says, assures them that nothing She says is informed by human thinking.
9:4 Using the word “Tsukihi,” this verse emphasizes that it is not a human being who is teaching here. Whatever is taught, it comes from Tsukihi, God the Parent, and is indubitable. The verse asks the people, therefore, to listen carefully to what they are told. Each of the four verses we have looked at so far has made the point that Oyasama’s words are absolutely free of human thinking.
