E mea ana tēnei upoko, ko te hunga kua tino nui ō rātau ariā, ka rite ki te pēpe hou. He pēpe nā te ao tūroa, kāore anō kia pokea e ngā kareā arotini. Nō te mea kua tino kaha ō rātau mauri, kāore ngā mea kino e pā mai. Ahakoa ō rātau tinana māeva, kei a rātau te kaha nui. Engari, i te wā ka tino kaha ngā mea, ka tīmata rātau ki te pakeke, arā, ka he tērā ki te Ara, ā, ka poto.

Te hunga kua rite ki te pēpe i whānau mai rānei, nō te mea kua tino nui ō rātau ariā. Nō reira, kāore ngāngara waewae pūkōwhao e ngā, kāore ngā mōkai kūpapa kaha e mau, kāore ngā manu tāwhi e pīkau. Ahakoa ngākau māeva me ngā uauaā rimu, ka mau tonu ō rātau ringa. Kāore rātau i te mōhio ki te hononga taupatupatu, engari ka tū ake ō rātau ira; nō te mea kua tino nui te mauri. He nui rawa te tangi i te rā katoa, engari kāore ō rātau karērau e whati; nō te mea kua tino nui te hari. Mehemea ka mōhio koe ki te hari, ka mōhio koe ki te ahi nui. Mehemea ka mōhio koe ki te ahi nui, ka mōhio koe ki te mārama. Te whakapaitanga o te ora, e kiia ana he mōpaka; te ngākau ka whakahaere i te hau, e kiia ana he kaha. Ahakoa te kaha o ngā mea, ka pakeketanga, ā, e kiia ana he hē nō te Ara. Ehara i te Ara, kua poto kē.

He aha tēnei ki ahau?
Kei ahau tonu te mauri nui nei, i tōku pēpētanga. I te wā i noho ahau i te ao tūroa me te ngākau māori, i kore ai ngā āwhina katoa. He nui ngā wā i tino nui tōku mauri, i te wā i noho ahau i rō kaupapa ngāwari me te ngākau tōkē. Engari i ēnei rā, kua nui ngā hiahia me ngā nanakia, ā, kua nui te mōrea kei pūao ahau. Mehemea ka taea e ahau te hoki ki tērā āhua mōrie, ka taea e ahau te kite i te mārama o roto.
He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?
Hōmai ki ahau te mōmō, kia noho ahau ki tētahi wāhi noho māori, ki te kōrero noa i ōku mokopuna, ki te whakapau i tētahi haora kia noho mārire, kia whakaaroaro rānei ki ngā mea māmā a te ao. Kia mahara ahau, he iti iho tēnei wā, ā, kia whakaae ahau ki te hari me te mauri o tēnei rā, me te kore e rapu i te kaha me te whakarei.
He who has in himself abundantly the attributes (of the Tao) is like an infant. Poisonous insects will not sting him; fierce beasts will not seize him; birds of prey will not strike him. (The infant's) bones are weak and its sinews soft, but yet its grasp is firm. When things have become strong, they (then) become old, which may be said to be contrary to the Tao. Whatever is contrary to the Tao soon ends.
AI Ao Rā
Te hunga kua rite ki te pēpe i whānau mai rānei, nō te mea kua tino nui ō rātau ariā. Nō reira, kāore ngāngara waewae pūkōwhao e ngā, kāore ngā mōkai kūpapa kaha e mau, kāore ngā manu tāwhi e pīkau. Ahakoa ngākau māeva me ngā uauaā rimu, ka mau tonu ō rātau ringa. Kāore rātau i te mōhio ki te hononga taupatupatu, engari ka tū ake ō rātau ira; nō te mea kua tino nui te mauri. He nui rawa te tangi i te rā katoa, engari kāore ō rātau karērau e whati; nō te mea kua tino nui te hari. Mehemea ka mōhio koe ki te hari, ka mōhio koe ki te ahi nui. Mehemea ka mōhio koe ki te ahi nui, ka mōhio koe ki te mārama. Te whakapaitanga o te ora, e kiia ana he mōpaka; te ngākau ka whakahaere i te hau, e kiia ana he kaha. Ahakoa te kaha o ngā mea, ka pakeketanga, ā, e kiia ana he hē nō te Ara. Ehara i te Ara, kua poto kē.
