Third Edition
Listen attentively! From now on, replace your mind and never think that human thoughts are intermixed!
Because you have taken Me as an equal human being, you could understand nothing.
Henceforth, whatever I may say or do, you must not take it in the least to be human.
Inoue/Eynon
Listen attentively and hereafter reform your minds. Do not ever think that My mind is human.
Because, hitherto, you have regarded Me as human like yourself, you have understood nothing.
Henceforth, no matter what I may say or do, do not ever think that I am merely human.

7:54–56 *Note: Because Oyasama had a human body, followers believed that what She said was mixed with a human mind and tended to listen half-heartedly, they had a hard time gaining insight into Oyagami’s true intention. As we are taught, “The mouth is human, the mind is that of Tsukihi” (12:67), while Oyasama is of human form and teaches with a human mouth, Her mind is that of Tsukihi, or Oyagami. Thus the Ofudesaki cautions us over and over that whatever She says, we must not think of it as something said by a human being, but rather be convinced that it all comes from the mind of Oyagami. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 122 五四―五六、註 おやさまはやはり人間の身体を持っておいでになったので、おやさまのお説きになる事を、人間の心が混じっているように思うて、軽く聞き流し勝ちなために、なかなか親神様の真意を悟る事が出来なかった。「くちわにんけん心月日や」と仰せになっている通り、人間の形を具え、口でお説き下さるのであるが、親さんのお心はつく日の心即ち親神様のお心であるから、これから、何を説かれても、人間が言うのであるとさらさら思わずに、どこまでも親神のお心であると信じなければならぬ事を、重ね重ね戒められたのである。 |
