5:58 Although I have made various preparations until today to open this broad path, those nearby are not aware that they have come from My deep intention. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 81 五八、この往還の道をつけようとして、今日までにいろいろの準備を整えて来たのであるが、そばの者は、それが親神の深い意図からである、という事を知らずにいる。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:58
In order to open the broad path from the “high mountains,” God has been making preparations and arrangements. What we call Oyasama’s hardships are certainly not unforeseen misfortunes befalling Her. Indeed, the phrase “I have been preparing” conveys a sense of provoking the authorities’ actions. The meaning of the verse is that, although God has been making arrangements to open a broad path from the “high mountains,” people close to Oyasama do not know the nature of what is happening–which is to say, they are unaware of God’s intention behind what is happening. The next verse explains this in more detail.
