八四、今までは、人間のちえや力のはびこっていた事もあったが、今後親神の教が行きわたってさえ来たならば、悲しみや苦しみは影をひそめてしまって、皆、親神の意図通りの陽気ぐらしをするようになる。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)

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

The term “Kara,” which began to be used in Part II, refers to those who do not understand God the Parent’s intention and whose behavior is arrogant. Nihon, referring to those who have understood God the Parent’s intention, will hereafter never be overcome by Kara, says the verse. Nihon will eclipse or outshine Kara, instead.
