4:44 I am informing you who are close to Me through a disorder of the body because of My profound intention. You are simply considering it to be an illness, yet it is best that you reflect on its fundamental meaning. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 59 四四、そばな者に身上に知らしてあるのは、親神の深い考えがあっての事である。それを、単に病気とばかり考えているが、それよりも根本に立かえって悟るがよい。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:48
The phrase “all matters” implies “everything, no matter what it is.” So the verse is saying that whatever is happening embodies God’s profound intention; however, even those who are “close to” Oyasama are paying little attention to it. We must not make light of anything that has happened, least of all a disorder of the body or any other challenging circumstance. We need to seriously take it to heart. It is important to ponder deeply over God’s intention, which is behind whatever is happening.
