179. God is Laughing Once Ie Murata had palpitation of the heart. It became so severe that it troubled her a great deal. So she asked Oyasama for instructions. Oyasama told her: "Your palpitation of the heart is God laughing. God is saying that you do not understand the divine will."

一七九　神様、笑うてござる ある時、村田イヱが、動悸が出て、次第に募って来て困ったので、教祖にお伺いしたところ、 「動悸は、神様、胸が分からん。と言うて、笑うてござるのやで。」 と、お聞かせ下された。
