5:20 Though they may be called bodily disorders, there may be instances where they happen to be My guidance for you to come to the path, my admonition against you for your misuse of the mind, or the manifestation of My anger, thus it will do well for each of you to quickly ponder. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 75 二〇、身の内の障りと言うても、親神が道につけんがための手引きもあれば、又、心得違いに対する訓戒もあり、立腹もあるから、皆銘々に早く思案するがよい。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:50
The Ofudesaki explains that such disorders of the body can come from God’s “guidance, admonition, or anger.” Health disorders can have various meanings. I think I talked about this before. Other possible meanings of health disorders may include God’s “care,” “regret,” “call for [our] service,” and “urging.” Here, the verse says that health disorders can represent “guidance,” whereby God leads people by the hand; “admonition,” through which God alerts people to their errors; or “anger,” which implies that people have caused such worry for God that it has become necessary for the word “anger” to be used. The verse urges people to ponder deeply over what their health disorders indicate.
