Ofudesaki chushaku

4:60 At this time, I shall begin the path of single-hearted salvation that will be marvelous in every way and explain the truth of the beginning of this world. Once I do so, all human beings will know that they are My children and will come to follow the path.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 61–2

六〇、この度は、何も彼も珍しいたすけ一条の道を始めかけて、この世の元初まりの真実を説いて聞かせる。そうしたならば、人間は皆親神の子供であるという事が分かって、この道について来る。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:51

On this day, today, says the verse, God will start “marvelous things,” which are unprecedented and extremely precious. What does the phrase “marvelous things” refer to? It refers to the path of single-hearted salvation. This path of single-hearted salvation is described as “marvelous.” The phrase “the original causality,” which is a translation of “yorozu innen,” means the original cause of all things or the causality of origin of any and everything. Although the word “yorozu” has the meanings of “all,” “every,” or “universal,” the phrase “yorozu innen” does not mean various causalities. The meaning of the verse is that all people will come to follow this path through the original causality of any and all things.
