The upper people are thinking that at present they can manage everything as they please. But their minds are all mistaken. Really it is ruled over by God.

You think that the rulers control your present path. But your thinking is mistaken, for it is governed by God.

3:120 The people in high positions think that they can freely repress this path. But because this is the path of single-hearted salvation, it will not be at the mercy of human beings. It will go according to what I, Oyagami, intend. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 49 一二〇、この道を、上に立つものが自由に出来るように思うて圧えよう思うが、これはだすけ一条の道であるから、人間のままにはならぬ。親神の意図通りになるのである。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:57
Although people think that the path is at the mercy of those in positions of power and authority and is under their control, such a thought is mistaken and is very far from the truth, according to this verse. The path is as God pleases, i.e., it is as God wills it and is under God’s control.
