Chapter 29
Mēnā Ka Whai Koe ki te Ao
Quick Answer
He tapuaki te ao, kāhore e taea te hanga, kāhore e taea te here. E noho ana ngā mea i ōna ake pūnaha — ētahi ka haere, ētahi ka whai, ētahi ka ngāwhā, ētahi ka tāpua. Ko te tangata mōhio, ka wehe i ngā ritenga nui rawa.

故物或行或随，或嘘或吹，或强或羸，或挫或隳。
是以圣人去甚，去奢，去泰。
Whakamaoritanga
Nō reira, ko ngā mea, ētahi ka haere, ētahi ka whai, ētahi ka ngāwhā, ētahi ka tāpua, ētahi ka kaha, ētahi ka ngoikore, ētahi ka tūhuratia, ētahi ka hingahinga.
Nō reira, ko te tangata mōhio, ka wehe i te nui rawa, i te whakakake rawa, i te kaha rawa.
Whakaaroaro Hōhonu
He aha tēnei upoko mō?
He tapuaki te ao, kāhore e taea te hanga, kāhore e taea te here. E noho ana ngā mea i ōna ake pūnaha — ētahi ka haere, ētahi ka whai, ētahi ka ngāwhā, ētahi ka tāpua. Ko te tangata mōhio, ka wehe i ngā ritenga nui rawa.
He aha tēnei ki ahau?
Ka pīrangi au ki te whakahaere i ngā mea katoa, engari e mōhio ana ahau he tapuaki te ao. Mā te tuku me te karo i te kaha rawa, ka taea te noho haere i runga i te hari.
He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?
Me rapa mō tētahi pīrangi ki te whakahaere, kātahi ka tuku. Me mōhio he tapuaki te ao, kāore e taea te here.
