『心偈』51

「母ヨトナ 聲ヲ待タジナ 汝ガ母ハ」

             柳宗悦『心偈』

 

It's the mother. You don't have to wait before you call your mother.

 

The purest love that can seem to be on earth is mother's love.

Her purity is just going to disappear "me."

If a mother doesn't show this purity, we can't call her a mother.

Children call her "Mother," she fills her answer in mind before she hear children's voice.

So children ask in her answer.

Mercy go ahead of agony.

In Bible "The sad person is cheered up." In fact a fact don't allow even feeling sad without being cheered up.

If you can understand this truth, you can't be except living of thanks.
