1:55 A great long period of time has passed since the beginning when I, Oyagami, created the human beings and world which did not exist. Because people could not hear the true teachings during that time, you must have been waiting longingly for it without knowing the identity of your reliable Parent.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 13 五五、親神が、元々無い人間無い世界をつくって以来、随分長い人間を経て来たのであるが、その間人々は真実の教を聞く事が出来なかったために、頼る親も分からずさぞ待ち遠い事であったろう。 註 本歌は、今まで長年人間が真の天啓の教を聞く事の出来なかったのを、道中たとえてお教え下されたのである。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:43
1:55 The verse is saying, “You must be feeling ‘very tired,’ weary, and disheartened, having wandered without any guide over such a long span of time from the beginning of this world until now.”
