3:25 Because things that, I, Oyagami, say that I will do cannot be observed by the human eye, it may prove rather difficult to attain it and you have not even the slightest idea of what I may do from now on |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 34 二五、人の眼に見えない親神の言う事する事であるから、なかなか容易すく悟る事も出来まいし、又、今後どのような事するか、一寸には分かるまい。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:34
Although God is teaching us through the mouth of Oyasama, we cannot physically see God. Thus, the verse says that we are likely to find it hard to understand God’s words or workings or discover the meaning behind them.
