Third Edition
To begin to preach when things have come into sight is worldly; I will teach you beforehand what is still unseen.

1:18 In all matters, it is normal in the world at large to talk of something once it comes to be seen. However, I, Oyagami, do not only teach of things that can be seen but also things that will appear in the future. So though there may be something among My words that you may not be able to understand with the human mind, you must not make a premature judgment and doubt or deny what I say. Believe in My words and wait for the day when they become reality. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 7 一八、何事でも、自分の眼の前に現れてから説き出すのが世間普通であるが、親神は眼の前の事だけではなく、将来の事まで教えて置くのであるから、親神の言葉の中に人間心では分からない事があっても、疑うたり否定したりするような早計な事をしてはならない。どこまでも親神の言葉を信じて、その実現の日を待つがよい。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:36
1:18 It is the way of the world to talk about things after they appear and become apparent to the eyes. In contrast, God teaches of things even before they appear and become visible. When things God speaks about come true, we can be convinced of the truth of God’s teachings.
