5:70, 71 Unaware of My deep intention that wishes to teach the people of the world of any matter, like the people of the world, you are suspicious, thinking that I am deceiving you, or telling you something dangerous.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 83 七〇、七一、どんな事でも、世界中の人々に教えて置きたい、という親神の深い意図であるのに、それを知らないで、世界の人々は皆一様にこの親神の教をうそ偽りか何ぞのように思い疑い、何か危っかしいもののように思うている。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:59–60

V:70

In fact, God the Parent desires to teach everything to all people in the world. God’s intention behind this desire is profound.

V:71

Yet, unaware of that intention of God, people in the world think that this path is perilous. Imagining that Oyasama’s teachings involve something dangerous, the people remain cautious about them.
