13:80, 81 If I were to keep still forever, no matter how much time may pass, there appears no hope for the world to be cleared of filth and anxiety. Thus I am stepping forward Myself to work. Yet there is no one who knows where I will step forward and what kind of work I shall do.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 209

八〇、八一、いつまでも親神がじっとしていては、いつになっても、世の中の汚濁と不安とが一掃されて安らかに治まる時が来そうにないから、親神が自ら進み出て働くのであるが、どこへ進み出てどういう働きをするかは、だれも知った者はない。
