| 1:72 The people of society may wonder to themselves what you think you are doing. Yet this is because they do not the principle of causality. Because the day will one day come when they will understand it, the laughter at the time being is instead no more but a source of my enjoyment. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 16 七二、世間では、何故あんな事をするのであろう、と不思議に思うであろうが、それはいんねんという理を少しも知らないからで、やがてそれを悟る日が来るから、一時の笑いは寧ろ親神の楽しみとするところである。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:46
1:72 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.
