Chapter 21
Te Hurahia o te Pūtapaka Nui
Taketake
道之为物，惟恍惟惚。惚兮恍兮，其中有象；恍兮惚兮，其中有物；窈兮冥兮，其中有精。其精甚真，其中有信。
自古及今，其名不去，以阅众甫。吾何以知众甫之状哉？以此。

He aha tēnei upoko mō?
Ka mea te karaipiture nei ka tāpiri te pūtapaka nui i a ia anake ki te Ara. He mea āhua korowha te Ara, engari i roto i tōna korowhatanga, kei reira ngā ahua, ngā mea, me te wairua. He wairua tūturu, he pono nui. Mai i te tīmatanga o te wā ki tēnei rā, kāhore te Ara e pūmau, ā, ka āhei mātou ki te mōhio ki ngā mea katoa mā roto i a ia.
He aha tēnei ki ahau?
I roto i tōku ao, ka mōhio ahau he aha te āhua o te pūtapaka nui e pā ana ki ōku ake whakapono. Ka mārama ahau he hōhonu, he pōuri te wairua o te ao, ā, mā te noho marie, mā te titiro ki ō roto, ka kitea ēnei mea. He mea nui kia mau ki te pono, kia whakapono ki te āhua korowha o te mōtēatanga.
He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?
I tēnei rā, noho marie, kia āhua tākaroa, kia titiro ki ō roto. Wānangatia te wairua o te Ara, te mea āhua korowha engari he pono tūturu. Kia mau ki te ngākau Māori, kia whakapono ki ngā mea ka puta mai i tōna korowhatanga.
