5:83 Because I did not teach the true path until now, upon looking at the courses of life people have lived, there was no way to distinguish between those who were aware and unaware of My teaching. It was a life completely devoid of any sequence or knowledge of anything.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 84

八三、これまでは、親神がまだ真実の道を教えておかなっかたから、人々の通ってきた道筋を見ると、親神の教を知るも知らぬも区別のない、さっぱり順序も何も分からぬ暮らしをしていたのである。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:61

The path that has been followed thus far is a chaotic path without a clear distinction between Kara and Nihon.
