Wednesday – Light rain
I am the father of this world, saving those who suffer and are afflicted.
- (LS16, pg 231)
Out of the office with M. all day on business.
Thoroughly exasperated at Department Chief O.’s cowardice. Mr. Toda comforted me, comparing my situation to that of the bold young officers during the war who suffered under faint-hearted generals’ leadership.
I deeply feel that this year is vital for the company, for myself and for the Soka Gakkai. Each of us, as a gear in the kosen-rufu process, must strive to the utmost to lead the organization to vicotry.
Went to a discussion meeting at the O.’s home. No new faces.
Home at 12:50.
A still moonlit night. Recited poetry to myself on the way home, for the first time in a long while. My thoughts are many.
I read somewhere that if our hearts are light, our tasks will be light as well, and that prudent actions are more important than wise thoughts.
