From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:79
“[T]he Shrine of Tsukihi” that has already been received refers to none other than Oyasama. The verse is saying that although the Shrine of Tsukihi has been firmly received, things have not progressed to the point where the shrine of each can be received. That is to say, the Service performers have not yet assembled. That is why God has “been keeping still.” This phrase, which is a translation of the Japanese phrase “izumi ita,” is interpreted in Ofudesaki chushaku to mean that divine workings have been restrained. At the same time, since divine workings are naturally reflected in human beings, this means that the people have not been fully spirited.
