9:21 I will answer your question that asks where I, Oyagami, will step forward to do My work. I will rush out into the places where the people in high positions are and faraway places. In this way I shall reveal My free and unlimited blessings, establishing the path among high society and distant lands.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 145

二一、親神が進み出て何処へ言って働きを現すかを言うて置こう。それは、上に立つ人々の所や、遠い遠い所へ飛び出て行くのであって、こうして親神は、自由自在の守護を現して、上流社会や遠隔の地に、この道をつける。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2010)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 38:43

The phrase “rush out” appears repeatedly. The verse here indicates that God the Parent will work proactively in a variety of places. Where, for example, will Tsukihi rush out to work? The answer given is the high mountains, referring to the ruling class, as well as distant places.
