Third Edition
Hitherto I have been sitting behind a bamboo screen, so nothing has yet appeared.
But now, as I have come into the light, everything shall immediately be realized.
Inoue/Eynon
Since, hitherto, I have been dwelling behind a bamboo screen, you were unable to see anything at all.
Now that I have come out into the open, you will see everything immediately.

6:61, 62 *Note: The expression “behind a bamboo screen” (misu no uchira) refers to how Oyagami was holding back in fully expressing God’s manifestation as Oyasama, revealed by the fact that She had always worn a black crested garment. The expression “into brightness” (akai tokoro) refers to how Oyagami will fully be revealed into the open when Oyasama began to wear red clothes after Her return from Yamamura Palace (Refer to notes for 3:42 and 5:56, 57). |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 101 六一、六二、註 みすのうぢらとは、親神様が神威の顕現を控えておられた事で、具体的には、おやさまが、これまで黒紋付をお召しになっていられた。 あかいところとは、親神様が自ら表へお現れ下さる事で、具体的にはおやさまがこの度山村殿からお帰りになってから、赤衣をお召しになった。（第三号四二註、第五号五六、五七註参照。） |

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:80
VI:61
The phrase “I kept Myself behind a bamboo screen” in the next verse refers, according to Ofudesaki chushaku, to the fact that Oyasama was dressed in a black montsuki or crested formal garment. Oyasama has not manifestly demonstrated that She is the Shrine of Tsukihi. So nothing has been visibly clear. Nothing has presented itself.
VI:62
At this time, Oyasama has come out into brightness. So everything, whatever it may be, will be visible or present itself. The term “brightness” refers to both the fact that Oyasama answered a summons from the Nara Prefectural Office to appear at the Yamamura Palace and the fact that shortly afterward She began to wear red clothes.
