Just a word! You say that it is a fit or a distraction. It is not an illness, but the impatient urging of God.
Inoue/Eynon
Listen well. I hear people talk of frenzy and insanity; they are not illness, but the urgency of God.

2:11 Whenever people of the world come in contact with her, all they say is that she is in a frenzy or that she is mad. However, it is not that she is crazy or is it because of a disease of any sort. It is My hastening that wishes to quickly draw to this path. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 20 一一、世間の人達が、寄ると触ると、あの人は逆上しているのだとか、狂気しているのだとかうわさをしているが、決して気違いでも無ければ病気でもない。早くこの道に引き寄せたいと思う親神の急き込みである。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:49–50
II:11 The Japanese word “nobose,” translated here as “fit,” refers to a fit of temper where rationality is lost. The word “kanteki,” translated as “madness,” literally means a “small round charcoal stove” and metaphorically refers to a tendency to flare up in anger. Both are related to emotional instability.
