3:109 I am holding this one, whose life I received four years ago, in an embrace with the wish to bring her soul back to Jiba, the place of the original causality. This is proof of My free and unlimited workings. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 47 一〇九、この者を四年以前に迎いとり、その魂を再び元のいんねんあるぢばへかえそうと親神が抱きかかえているが、これが即ち、親神の自由自在の働きのある証拠である。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:54
The phrase “this one,” according to Ofudesaki chushaku (Annotations to the Ofudesaki), refers to Shuji’s daughter Oshu, who was received by God in March 1870 by the lunar calendar. She is earlier referred to in Part I as follows: “You say that you wish to train the child for two or three more years. But she is no longer in the hands of God” (I:60).
Verse III:109 says that God the Parent has been holding Oshu since receiving her four years ago. Such, we are told, is the proof.
