13:47 Without knowing this truth, you human beings believe that there is fundamentally separating the nobility from the destitute, the high from the low. However, this is not the case at all. Human beings are all equally My children, the children of God.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 204 四七、この真実を知らずに、人間は何か本来貴賎尊卑の別があるように思うているが、それは全く間違いであって、人間は皆、一列平等に親神の子供である。
