Come here and
listen being all ears
to the Way that I preach
being all mouth!
(Gobun No. 49)
"When my heart preaches, departing my own heart, it is only my mouth that preaches. At such a time, the sermon comes out somehow naturally of my mouth in the absence of the ego. It means that the Heaven makes me preach. And when the listener also listens only with his ears, there truly is oneness."
ここに来て口ばかりにてとく道を
耳ばかりにてきき給へ
（御文第49号）
「心はおのが心をはなれて説くときは、口ばかりなり。そのとき何となく無心の所にいづるなり。これすなはち天のいはしむるなり。また、きく人も耳ばかりにてきき給はば、まことに一体なり。」
