9:30 In order for Me to teach you things that not even a single person has known about since today, I must first tell you with certainty who your original Parent is. *Note: “Parent of Origin” (moto naru Oya): the original Parent, Tsukihi, is manifested at this time through Oyasama as Shrine. It is Oyasama, who receives the truth of Oyagami who is the original Parent of this world.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 146 三〇、今日までだれ一人として知らぬことを教えるからには、先ずもとの親を確かに知らせる。 註　もとなるをや　元の親、月日両神はこの度おやさまをやしろとしてお現れになっている。親神様の理をお受けになっているおやさまこそ、この世の元の親である。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2010)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 38:44

Teaching people things unknown until now involves making the Parent of Origin clearly known. The phrase “the Parent of Origin” refers to God the Parent, who created humankind and the world. God will teach people things such as what God’s intention was in creating humankind and what blessings God is giving to us humans. God will bring about salvation by teaching us these things.
