『おふでさき註釈』、p. 63

七二、七三、いろいろと筆先に知らせてあるから、早く心にこれを悟るようにせよ。親神の胸の中さえそれと汲み取る事が出来たら、身上の障りも治り心も晴れ晴れとする。

God is saying: “I have already told you step by step what My intention is by using the writing brush. I want you to quickly awaken to this intention.”

The verse indicates that the suffering of illness will disappear once the divine intention explained in the Ofudesaki is fully understood. God hopes that people will take their illness as an opportunity to ponder deeply.
