Ofudesaki chushaku

4:61 Because there is a large variety in the causalities of every person, different peoples have differing predicaments. However, this is not because I am discriminating among you and bless you only according to your respective causalities. Also, I do not make any discrimination among peoples and countries. My mind, the mind of Oyagami, is fair and impartial.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 62

六一、多種多様のいんねんより、人種を異にし境遇を異にしているのではあるが、そのいんねんに応じて親神が守護を差別するものではない。又、人々国々によって分け隔てをするものでもない。公平無私は親神の心である。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

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

All people will come along with God because of the original causality of all things. We might imagine that there may inevitably be some discrimination, given the sheer number of humans there are; however, the Ofudesaki tells us not to entertain such a thought, for there is absolutely no discrimination whatsoever.
