Ka hono ahau ki tēnei kōrero mō te whakangungu. I ōku nei rā, ka whakaaro ahau he pēhea te tiaki i tōku ia, i tōku pūngao, i ōku ake mōrehu. Ko tēnei upioko ka tauawhi ahau ki te mōrea, ki te noho hūmārie, ki te kore e whakapau kaha i nga mea katoa. Mā tēnei e ora ake ai ōku wairua, ōku hinengaro, ōku tinana.

He tino pai te whakangungu i te whakahaere tangata me te mahi ki te Rangi. Nā te mea anake ka whakangungu tātau, ka āta tautoko i te oranga o mua. Ki te āta tautoko i te oranga o mua, ka kohia nuitia tērā e karakia ana ko te hua. Ka kohia nuitia te hua, kāore e taea te whakakeketia. Kāore e taea te whakakeketia, kāore rānei he peka o tōna kaha. Kāore he peka o tōna kaha, ā, ka taea te pupūriti i te whenua. Ki te pupūriti te mātuatanga o te whenua, ka roa tonu te noho.
Ko te mea e kīia nei ko te pūtaketanga hōhonu, te pūtoko pūmau, ko te ara e ora roa nei, e mārama tonu nei.
Whakaaroaro Hōhonu
He aha tēnei ki ahau?

He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?
Hei mahi mō tēnei rā: Whakangungua tētahi mea e pā mai ana ki a koe - ahurea, wā, kaha rānei. Whakaputaina he mea māmā noa iho e taea ana e koe te tuku, kia kohia ai ō pūkenga, ō wheako hōhonu. Kia mōrea koe, kia ū pūtaketanga.
For regulating the human (in our constitution) and rendering the (proper) service to the heavenly, there is nothing like moderation. It is only by this moderation that there is effected an early return (to man's normal state). He who possesses the mother of the state may continue long.
