Wednesday – Sleet
Rainfall from morning. A cold wave is upon us. The coldest weather so far this year.
Spent half the day talking with Mr. Toda. He thoroughly instilled in me that I must carry on and fulfill the task that he, my teacher, has begun.
In the afternoon, he went to the Ministry of Finance and returned shivering. He smiled and said, “How cold the world is!”
“Daisaku,” he told me, “I am not defeated. I lost a battle, but that is past. The real fight starts from now.”
Resolve balzed up anew within me that I must strive never to let anyone so much as point a finer at Mr. Toda or at the Soka Gakkai.
Must keep on eye on I. He pretends to be on our side but manoeuvres against Mr. Toda behind his back.
Home at 11:00. Tomorrow I must go to the Omiya area.
