Ofudesaki chushaku

4:121 Now, from now on, I shall equally and steadily tell everyone about creation, to both those in the high mountains and those in the low valleys.

*Note: Human beings were all the same at creation and there is no distinction among everyone. Yet the reason why we are born in the upper classes or the lower classes results from how each person lived their previous life.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 70

一二一、さあこれから、高山の者にも又谷底の者にも皆一様に、元初まりを、しっかり説いて聞かそう。

 人間は皆、元初まりは同一であって、何の差別もないのであるが、上流に生まれ下流に生まれるというのは、皆各々前生の実績の然らしめる処である。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:65

From now on, however, God will “teach both the high mountains and the low valleys about the beginnings of origin”–which is to say, God will tell the Story of Creation to both of them equally without discrimination. Once they go back all the way to the beginnings of origin, they will see both those in the high mountains and those in the low valleys are equally children of God. The Ofudesaki’s teachings are based on the origin of our existence.
