Ofudesaki chushaku

4:32 If you are able to truly gain an understanding of the true talks of single-heartedness with God in any matter, the human thinking of those who are yet to know My teachings ought not to have their way with you.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 57–8

三二、何事についても、人々が神一条の真実の話を本当に悟り得たならば親神の教を未だ知らない人間思案なぞにままにされそうな筈はない。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:45

The phrase “single-heartedness with God” implies being focused solely on and totally committed to God. It means living in complete accord with God’s intention. Once we “come to know” or fully master this way of living, then we “will never be overcome by Kara” in any matter–Kara referring to those who do not yet understand or are not in accordance with God’s intention.
