4:45 Until today, because you still have not seen any kind of path, there has been no one who deeply believed in the real teachings. From now on, the truth of according to the mind will immediately become revealed, so it is best that you ponder fully and resolve your mind. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 59 四五、今日までは、どういう道もまだ見えて来ていないので、本真実の教を深く信じる者も無かったが、これからは、直ぐに心次第の理が現れて来るから、よく思案して心定めをするがよい。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:48–9
“Until today”–or, until now–people have not been able to see any kind of path that is reliable and worthy of being followed. No path that should be followed has come into sight so far. From now on, however, a path to be followed can “be seen quickly,” which is to say that it may come into sight even immediately. So people should ponder deeply and make a commitment.
