The source of SGI's arrogance

Something may now be inherent but wasn't always inherent. An example is a gene that has been introduced into a genome and begins to self propagate, thus becoming inherent. Another example is found in the Lotus Sutra in the parable of the poor man with the gem sewn into his coat. The man inherently possesed the gem but only after it had been sown into the lining. This is True Cause with a beginning. Only the Eternal Buddha possesses True Cause with no beginning. That is why he is the Eternal Master and to whom we owe our deepest gratitude. No one, save for the Eternal Buddha Shakyamuni, has realized the Great Law of Namu Myoho renge kyo since time without beginning.. Those others who have realized this Law have done so by virtue of this Buddha. There is no independent realization of the Great Law. Believing there is (an independent realization of the Great Law) or mis-attributing the sower of the gem is the source of SGI's arrogance.
