3:93, 94 If you fully understand the truth of origin behind My creation of human beings, no wrong thoughts will occur and there would be no one who is ill. But because people know nothing, they are using their minds in a selfish manner. From My eyes, the eyes of Oyagami, I cannot but feel pity for this. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 46 九三、九四、親神が人間をつくった元の理をよく知ったならば、悪い心も起こらず病気になる者もないのに、人々は、何も知らないで勝手な心づかいをしている。親神の目から見るとこれが不憫でならない。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:51
III:93
Although humans are living merrily, they are doing so without any knowledge of the origin. The verse says that, if “this origin is known in detail,” no one will fall ill. Put conversely, people fall ill because they are not aware of or attentive to the origin. Illness can be seen as alerting their attention.
III:94
God says in the Mikagura-uta, “It is natural that you know nothing.” In the eyes of God the Parent, it is pitiful that the children—humans, that is—are merrily going about their lives without any knowledge of the origin. In their ignorance, they are taken ill, cause conflict, confuse themselves, and suffer.
