What is this word "true?" Is it round or angular? Or is it something flat? What is its definition? And centering on what can "true" be defined? That is the issue. When you say "true person," what kind of person is he? A true person would have two eyes and a nose. It's simple: it is a person who has eyes, nose, mouth, and every part of the body. Then does "true" indicate being limited to a certain place or transcending a certain place? (Transcending.) Then how? With what? Why must it transcend that line of limitation? What does this tell us? We know that it must have a content that can represent everything. In arithmetic, there are formulas, and in physics there are axioms. How can "formula" be defined? Is formula something small? The unit of a formula is simple, however, and should have subjectivity in comparing everything. Unless that is so, the formula and its standard of units cannot be established. If the formula and its units are wrong, calculation from the small unit will not exactly fit the enormous universe. When we look at forms of measurement, we find systems such as decimal systems and duodecimal systems. These are small, but parts based on them all fit perfectly. If they didn't, they wouldn't revolve properly. Even if a part is correctly formed, it does not come into existence unless it coincides with the whole. If not, the whole would be lost. This holds also in the world of humanity. What is a true person? In the life of a person, there are things such as scales and measures which connect forces and expand them to the world. I am saying that all of them expand with balance. It becomes evident that a human being needs such a formula for the path of his life. (133-9)
