　 人ら しき　人の無きかも世や末に　ひそかに思ふ吾にありけり

Privately I have come
Around to thinking that
Truly it is a world
Without human beings who
Are truly human beings.

 S6-289A
　 　 　 　 　
　 　 形のみ　人にしあれどその心　鳥虫獣とえらぶ事なき
41 　 In form, a human being
Indeed, but inside
Nothing is there to
Distinguish from the
Animals and insects.		 S6-289B
　 　 　 　 　
　 　

物欲の　外望み とてなき人を　見る毎神知る人の尊し
42 　 How precious are
Those who know God,
I think, every time I see
Those with no desire apart
From material things.		 S6-289C
 
　 　

神は無しと　言 ふ人々の忽ちに　戦きふためく世の大峠かも
43 　 The great tribulation
Will be a world
Where those who say
There is no God
Panic and shake.		 S6-289D
 
　 　

移りゆく世の状 前つに知らせらる　信徒の幸大いなるかも
44 　 Great is the happiness
Of members who know
In advance what
Will happen in this
Ever changing world.		 S6-289E
 
How happy are the true
Followers of God to be
Informed beforehand
Of the future state of the world
That will change in time!		 Sept 12.2009 by taki
