3:14 Because this path is a path of attaining and sharing insight, once you fully realize awaken to this allegorical story, establish the Shinbashira, construct the Kanrodai, and come to conduct the Service of the Kanrodai after the performers have assembled, the world will settle in harmony in accordance with My intention. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 33–4 一四、この道は諭し悟りの道であるから、このたどえ話をよく悟ることが出来てしんばしらが定まり、かんろだいが建設され、人衆そろうてかんろだいのつとめをするようになったならば、それで世の中が円満に治まるようになる、という親神の意図が実証されるであろう。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:32
What is called for by “this talk” is our “enlightenment” and nothing else, certainly not our worldly reasoning. This is essentially a matter of awakening, which is the key to everything else. When we awaken to or become enlightened about the truth of this teaching, “tested proof” will come, meaning that what God is saying will be proven or substantiated. In the Ofudesaki, “proof” and “test” are among the terms that appear fairly often and that do not lend themselves to easy interpretation. The Japanese word that is here translated as “test” can be written with characters that mean “try” and “test.” The meaning of the verse is that, if we fully awaken to what God is teaching, God’s words can be proven and substantiated. We can test the teachings so that firm proof can be produced to substantiate them.
