Hōʻike ke k天堂 i ke ʻano o ka naʻauao ʻulaʻula, kahi e pili ai ka mea ʻike a me ka mea hōʻike ʻole i ka ʻuhane hoʻokahi. ʻO ka mea mōʻkā, ʻaʻole ia e ʻōlelo, no ka mea, ʻaʻole he mana e hōʻike ai.

ʻO ka mea ʻike, ʻaʻole ia e ʻōlelo; ʻo ka mea ʻōlelo, ʻaʻole ia i ʻike. Pāpā i kona mau ʻupena, pani i kona mau puka, kūlou i kona mau kua, wehe i kona mau pūʻali, hoʻomaloʻo i kona mau kukui, a huʻi me ka lepo — ʻo ia ka huikahi ʻulaʻula. No laila, ʻaʻole e hiki ke kokoke aku ia ia, ʻaʻole e hiki ke mamao aku; ʻaʻole e hiki ke pōmaikaʻi, ʻaʻole e hiki ke pōʻino; ʻaʻole e hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi, ʻaʻole e hiki ke hoʻonele. No laila, ua kaulana nui ia ma waena o ka honua.

He aha kēia paukū e pili ana?
Hōʻike ke k天堂 i ke ʻano o ka naʻauao ʻulaʻula, kahi e pili ai ka mea ʻike a me ka mea hōʻike ʻole i ka ʻuhane hoʻokahi. ʻO ka mea mōʻkā, ʻaʻole ia e ʻōlelo, no ka mea, ʻaʻole he mana e hōʻike ai.
Pehea ka pilina iaʻu?
Ke ʻimi nei au i ke ʻano o ka naʻauao ʻulaʻula, kahi e kūlike ai ka nui a me ka ʻuʻuku. Ke ʻimi nei au i ka ʻuhane like ʻole, kahi e kokoke aku ai au i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo.
He aha kaʻu e hana ai i kēia lā?
I kēia lā, e hoʻomaha au i koʻu mau ʻōlelo, a e hoʻolohe i ka leo o loko. ʻAʻole au e ʻōlelo akā, e hoʻomaka e hoʻolohe i ke kahea o ka ʻuhane.
He who knows (the Tao) does not (care to) speak (about it); he who is (ever ready to) speak about it does not know it. This is called 'the Mysterious Agreement.' (Such an one) cannot be treated familiarly or distantly; he is beyond all consideration of profit or injury; of nobility or meanness: he is the noblest man under heaven.
