3:35 Because human beings have shallow minds, you do not have even the slightest idea of what kind of path you must go through in the future. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 35 三五、人間というものは、心の浅はかなものであるから、将来どんな道筋を通らねばならんか、少しも知らない。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:36
The word “shallow” is intended to include the meaning “unreliable.” This verse is saying that humans are shallow and unreliable and have no idea what lies ahead on their paths.
