2:34 From now on I shall distinguish the truth of kara and nihon. Once this has become understood, people’s minds will become completely pure and the world will settle in harmony. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 25 三四、今後はからとにほんの理を分けるようにするが、これさえ分かって来たら、人々の心は澄み切って世界は円満に治まるようにになる。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:53
From now on, says the verse, God will distinguish between “Kara” and “Nihon.” Once this distinction is made, the world will settle.
The phrase “make a distinction” is rich in meaning, I think. It would be difficult to settle the world by dealing with both Kara and Nihon in the same way. First, therefore, God will distinguish between Kara and Nihon and then bring a settling to the world. Thus, rather than handling the negative and positive at the same time, God’s procedure is to make a distinction between them before bringing a settling to the whole.
