Ko tēnei upanakorero e ārahi ana kia pupuri tātou i te kotahitanga o te wairua me te tinana, kia mātao ō tātou hau pēnei i tētahi pēpē, kia maumahara tonu tātou ki te mōhio-kore, ā, ahakoa ka whakatupu haere, kia kaua e rongonui rawa atu i a mātou anō.

Ki te pupuri i te wairua me te mōtea, ka taea te noho tahi, kāore i wehe? Ki te whakapūmau i te hau o te oranga, ka taea te mātao, me te āhua o te pēpē? Ki te horo i ngā whatu o te mōtea, ka taea te kore māere? Ki te aroha ki te iwi, kia whakatupu i te whenua, ka taea te kore hianga? Ki te tatau o te rangi ka u, ka huaki, ka taea te noho pērā anō? Ki te mōhio nui, ka taea te noho mōhio-kore? He whakaputaina, he whakatupuna, he whakaputanga, engari kāore i whiwhi; ka mahi, engari kāore e herea; ka tipu, engari kāore e whakahaerehia. Koinei te tāonga tērā o te māori.

He aha tēnei ki ahau?
He uaua mōku te noho tau, te ū ki tētahi momo taumata māori. Ka tino ngenge ahau ki te whakaaro nui me te pupuri i ngā mea katoa, engari kei te ako ahau he aha te wātea o te kore here.
He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?
I tēnei rā, me noho mōrire ahau, me tāpua tōku hau, me mōhio ki tētahi mea mōrie pēnei i te pēpē, me tuku noa i ngā mea ka tae mai.
When the intelligent and animal souls are held together in one embrace, they can be kept from separating. When one gives undivided attention to the (vital) breath, and brings it to the utmost degree of pliancy, he can become as a (tender) babe. (The Tao) produces (all things) and nourishes them; it produces them and does not claim them as its own; it does all, and yet does not boast of it; it presides over all, and yet does not control them.
