4:13 You return to Jiba each time you receive a disorder of the body, but when time passes, you forget [the blessings that brought about your recovery]. I make a mark on the body again and again because I am waiting to use you as My useful timber. Yet you are living carelessly because you are unaware of My intent. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 55 一三、身に障りを受ける度毎にぢばに帰って来るが、時が過ぎると、忘れて了まう。親神がかくも再々身に知らせるのは、神のよふぼくに使おうと思うて待ちかねているからであるのに、その心も知らずにうかうかとしている。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:40
The Scripture says that day by day “disorders will befall” people–which is to say, people will be provided with opportunities to work with health disorders, although they may not quite see such experiences in those terms. Most likely, they will simply regard themselves as having been taken ill. At any rate, they will come to Jiba to ask for help, one after another. Those people may only be interested in receiving help, yet from God’s perspective they are returning to Jiba because God has been waiting for them “impatiently.” They will come without knowing this. The reason God is waiting for them is indicated by the next verse:
