1:27 While a slight disease may be easily treated, since you are on the receiving end of My severe reprimand, your condition ultimately cannot be treated despite the skill of the doctor or effectiveness of the medicine.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 9 二七、軽い病気の場合には容易く治療も出来ようが、厳しい親神のしかりを受けるようになっては、いかな名医妙薬の力でも根本的治療は出来ないのである。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:39

1:27 Since what is being shown now is “God’s regret” that has piled up—or God’s feeling of impatience—no doctors or medicine would be able to cure it.
