　 人間は　低き文化を作るもの　高き文化は神造るなり

Human beings fashion
Culture of a low level;
It is God that
Creates culture of a
High level. 

 S6-349A.
　 　 　 　 　
　 　 眼に見ゆる　物質に迷ひ眼にみへぬ　魂忘るる人こそ哀れ
215 　 Truly pitiful is the person
Captivated by the material which
Can be seen with the eyes and
Forgets the soul which
Cannot be seen with the eyes.		 S6-349B. 
　 　 　 　 　
　 　

魂の　眠れるままに世を渡る　人こそ盲のしるしなりける
216 　 Those who pass their
Lives with their souls
Asleep is proof that
That they are
Indeed blind.		 S6-349B- [SS678F]. 
Alternate translation
Those whose / Souls sleep / Their entire lives / Is proof that / They are indeed blind.
