2:2 When I establish this broad path, even the minds of people in high positions will become spirited, leading them to come here. Furthermore, this is not about the distant future. The present momentum is shows that it shall be realized soon. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 1 8 二、往還道をつけかけると、上に立つ人々もこの教を聞いて心が出かけて来るようになる。しかも、それは遠い事ではない。もう直ぐにもそれが実現する機運に向かっている。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:48
II:2 This portion of the Ofudesaki is full of verses that are difficult to interpret. The minds of “[t]hose in high places” – people of power and influence – will become spirited.
The phrase “The appointed time has arrived” may seem a little hard to understand. Having been told that the minds of those in positions of power and influence will become spirited, people have been wondering when that will happen. This verse says the time for that has come.
