4:101 Although this path is at first a difficult path to understand, it is a wonderful teaching that is truly unparalleled in this world. All that I tell you will become true without fail. Because it is a path with promising prospects, keep a steady eye to the future. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 66–7 一〇一、この道は、一寸には分かりにくい難しい道ではあるが、真実に世に類いまれな結構な教であって、親神の説く処は必ず真実となって現れる、末頼もしい道であるから、将来をしっかりと見ていよ。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:61
It may be slightly hard to interpret the phrase “This path may be somewhat difficult, but it is marvelous indeed.” The path of salvation that the Scripture speaks of in the present portion–that is to say, the path that uses the Service to bring salvation–is difficult and not at all straightforward to follow. However, “it is marvelous indeed.” I explained the term “marvelous” before. The verse here is saying that this is a marvelous, unprecedented, and precious path and that people would do well to closely watch how it unfolds in the times ahead.
