6:17 No matter what kind of path befalls you now, devote yourself to bringing the Joyous Life into reality in high spirits. I am hastening so that all of you can come out to the true path as soon as possible. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 89 一七、今のところどんな道であっても、心勇んで陽気ぐらしの実現に精進せよ。親神は、一日も早く正道に出るようにと、急いでいるのである。 |
Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:69
The first sentence tells people to “hasten with spirited minds.” The word “hasten” is a translation of the Japanese phrase “sekikome yo,” in which “kome” (a conjugated form of komu) conveys a sense of urgency. The second sentence expresses God’s desire for the main path to be quickly achieved. The term “main path”–which, as I said before, is related to the Service–refers to the path of single-hearted salvation, which is to be implemented through the Service.
