1:71 The people of the world may think there is something funny about this marriage considering the age difference between you, the bride and groom. Yet no matter how much they may laugh, this is only because they do not know about My intention. This marriage was brought about because of the profound causality that brought the two of you together. To tie the knot as husband and wife—this is the foundation of life, so this is of primary importance more than anything else. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 16 七一、世間の人々は、この結婚を、年齢の点から不自然に思うて、可笑しく思うであろうが、いくら笑うても、その人達は親神の真意を知らないからで、この結婚は相互のいんねんを寄せるのであって、夫婦の縁を結ぶという事は人生の根本であるから、何よりもこれが一番肝心である。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:46
1:71 In the eyes of ordinary people in the world, the marriage may seem like a mismatch. Yet, even if they laugh, this marriage is of prime importance as it will lay a foundation. In fact, we are told that God will delight in such laughter and in even derision. God is looking forward to what is to come once the cleaning of the Residence is completed.
