Ofudesaki chushaku

3:127 All of you, reflect upon your bodies and fully exercise caution and realize that it is something you are borrowing from Me, Oyagami. There is no knowing when My blessings will be stopped by a wrong usage of your mind.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 50

一二七、人間は、だれでも自分の身を振りかえって、親神からの借物である事を悟ってよく注意せよ。心得違いがあれば、親神の守護はいつ止まるかも分からない。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:58

We are borrowing the body from God. We can only use it as if it were our own because we receive God’s providence that looks after it. The verse cautions that our misuse of the mind could lead to a situation where there is no telling when or where God might go—that is, it could lead to the unexpected withdrawal of God’s providence.
