"May 21, 1907 (Apr. 10, lunar calendar), 2:30am Sah, sah, another word, another word. I shall instruct you, basing My talk on the order of development. I begin to speak on a small matter like the beginning of this path. In the beginning, forty-five or six years ago, I began the construction with a building one tsubo square. This was the beginning. That building of one tsubo has resulted in what you see now. At that time there was one who asked Me what to do through My mediators. When I gave him My answer, he responded. When he spoke to Me, I gave him My answer. This has already been recorded in the past records. It began with one tsubo. You might think one tsubo is trifling. Beginnings are such. It was the Seki who said, “I will take responsibility.” All of you, become of this mind. It began with My words, “Begin with one tsubo,” and the path progressed. It was a difficult path, a worrisome path, but from this difficulty the construction was accomplished and the path progressed. Now there are churches in all parts of the nation. But in the beginning there was nothing distinct. It was indeed vague, vague."
