7:13 No matter how much wealth or authority someone may have, if his or her negative causality appears, he or she must suffer the consequences through illness or other adverse circumstances. No matter how impoverished a life someone may lead, he or she can live joyously without worry or hardship as long as his or her mind is sincere enough. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 115–6 一三、如何に富貴で権勢があっても、いんねんが現れて来たならば、事情や身上で苦しまねばならぬ。如何に貧しい暮らしをしていても、真実の心次第で、心配や気苦労が無く、陽気に暮らす事が出来る。 |
