5:51 While you may wonder how I will give this return, though you may be a thousand or two thousand leagues away, I shall reciprocate you accordingly upon discerning your mind. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 79 五一、このかやしを言うても、どうしてかやすのであろうと、思うか知れないが、たとい道のり千里、二千里隔たってあっても、親神が人間の心を見定め次第、それにむくいるのである。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:56
The verse asks what we think God’s workings–i.e., returns given according to the state of mind–are like. God will discern our state of mind and immediately give returns commensurate with it, even if we are “a thousand leagues away,” which is to say, regardless of how far away we are.
