Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2010)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 38:44
This is a verse quoted in Instruction Two. After quoting this verse, the Instruction went on to say, “[S]aving people through teaching the origin is the essence of salvation on this path.” I think that verse 29 succinctly expresses the most essential feature of the salvation offered on this path. In order to provide salvation of a kind previously unknown, it is necessary to let people know the origin. God saves people by teaching them the origin. This is a complete contrast to the kinds of teachings likened to “weeding and fertilizing.” God the Parent brings about previously unprecedented salvation by teaching the origin, the foundation of all things.
