I nānā ʻia, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia — ʻo ia ka ʻole o ka ʻike ʻia. I lohe ʻia, ʻaʻole lohe ʻia — ʻo ia ka ʻole o ka lohe ʻia. I pāpā ʻia, ʻaʻole 'aʻe i ka lima — ʻo ia ka nui ʻole loa. ʻO kēia ʻekolu mea, ʻaʻole hiki ke nīnau hou ʻia, no laila, hoʻomoe ʻia lākou i loko o ka hoʻokahi. ʻAʻole maʻamaʻa kona wahi ʻōlino nui, ʻaʻole hoʻi poʻepoe kona wahi lalo; he lōʻihi a lōʻihi, ʻaʻole hiki ke kapa ʻia, a hoʻi aʻe nō i loko o ka mea ʻole. ʻO ia ka lua ʻole o ka lua, ka mole ʻole o ka mole, ʻo ia ka poʻe poʻe a luku. E al迎面 mai nō, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻoe i kona poʻo; e hahai aku nō, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻoe i kona kua. E mahope nō o ka hale o ka wā kahiko, e alakaʻi aku nō i nā mea o nāwā. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka hoʻomaka ʻana mai o ka wā, ʻo ia nō ke kaula o ke ao.

He aha kā kēia paukū e ʻōlelo ai: ʻO ka Tao, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻike, lohe, a pāpā ʻia. He mea poʻepoe a hōʻole loa, ʻaʻole hiki ke kapa ʻia. ʻAʻole loa ʻo ia mea, ʻaʻole hoʻi ʻole, akā, ʻo ia nō ke kaula o ke ao a pau.
Pehea ka pilina iaʻu?
I koʻu noho ʻana, ua nui nā mea āna e ʻike nei au, e lohe nei, a e hoʻopā nei. Akā, aia nō lākou aʻe aku o kēia mau mea, he mea nui a hohonu aʻe ka mea āna e loaʻa ai au.
He aha kaʻu e hana ai i kēia lā?
I aneu lā, e mālama 'oe i kou naʻau no ka mea ʻole, a e alakaʻi aku i kou noho me ka mālie, no ka mea, ʻo nā mea nui loa, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻike ʻia.
We look at it, and we do not see it, and we name it 'the Equable.' We listen to it, and we do not hear it, and we name it 'the Inaudible.' We try to grasp it, and do not get hold of it, and we name it 'the Subtle.' This is called the Form of the Formless, and the Semblance of the Invisible; this is called the Fleeting and Indeterminable.
