6:14 There are many people living in this world, but their minds are clouded as if in a haze; they cannot see ahead. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 88–9 一四、世の中には、多くの人々が暮らしているが、その心はもやのように曇っていて、先は見えずにいる。 |
Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:68–9
After noting that a great many people live in the world, the verse refers to the state of “sono uchi,” which is translated as “their minds.” The Japanese phrase here can mean “within their hearts and minds.” In the original, the second line contains the term “ichiretsu,” which has the meanings of “all” and “equal.” The verse says that the minds of all people, whoever they are, are “as if in a haze,” meaning that they are confused, clouded, or dusty.
