E ako ana tēnei upoko ki a tātou kia mahi kāore he mahi, arā, kia noho ngāwari, kia tū mārire, kaua e whakapau kaha. Ka āta titiro ki ngā mea ngāwari me ngā mea iti, nō reira ka taea te uaua. Ka ako anō hoki mātou kia whakaputa pai ki ngā mauākā katoa, ā, kia kaua e whakapono i ngā kōrero ngāwari noa iho.

Mahia te kāore he mahi, mahia te kāore he āheinga, kainga te kāore he reka. Whakaarohia te mea torutoru he nui, whakaarohia te mea iti he nunui, whakaputa pai ki te mauākā katoa. Rapua te uaua i tōna ngāwari, rapua te nui i tōna mōkito. Nō reira, ko ngā mea uaua katoa o te ao ka puta mai i ngā mea ngāwari, ko ngā mea nunui katoa ka puta mai i ngā mea iti. Nō reira, ko te hunga mātau ka kore rawa e whai kia nui, ā, ka taea e rātou te nui. Ko te hunga ka whakaputa maunu noa, ka ngaro ō rātou kōrero pono; ko te hunga ka whakaaro ngāwari noa ngā mea katoa, ka tino uaua ō rātou. Nō reira, ko te hunga mātau ka whakaaro uaua tonu ngā mea katoa, ā, nō reira, kāore rātou e rangona ai te uaua.
Whakaaroaro Hōhonu
He aha tēnei upoko mō?
E ako ana tēnei upoko ki a tātou kia mahi kāore he mahi, arā, kia noho ngāwari, kia tū mārire, kaua e whakapau kaha. Ka āta titiro ki ngā mea ngāwari me ngā mea iti, nō reira ka taea te uaua. Ka ako anō hoki mātou kia whakaputa pai ki ngā mauākā katoa, ā, kia kaua e whakapono i ngā kōrero ngāwari noa iho.
He aha tēnei ki ahau?
I ōku ao, kua mōhio ake ahau he pānga nui tō te ngāwari me te mōkito ki ōku ao. Ka piki ake ōku ia mana i te wā ka titiro ahau ki ngā mea torutoru me ngā mea iti, me te kore e whakapau kaha. Ka tino whakaōrite ōku hononga ki ētahi atu ina whakaputa ahau i te pai ki ō rātou mauākā. Engari, kua rongonui ahau mō tōna ngāwari, mō tāku hoatu kōrero ngāwari, ka ngaro ōku tūturu. Me ako ahau kia u, kia hūmārie, kia whakaaro nui ki ia mea.
He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?
I tēnei rā, ka titiro ahau ki tētahi mea ngāwari i tōku ao, ā, ka whai tukanga mōhioitia kia mahia pai. Ka hoki ahau ki ngā mea iti, ā, ka ako mō tāku hoatu pai ki ngā tāngata e tū mai ana i tōku ao, ahakoa iti, ahakoa pūmau. Ka kaua ahau e tuku i ngā oati ngāwari noa iho, engari ka kōrero mō tāku e taea ai.
(It is the way of the Tao) to act without (thinking of) acting; to conduct affairs without (feeling the) trouble of them; to taste without discerning any flavour; to consider what is small as great, and a few as many; and to recompense injury with kindness. Therefore the sage sees difficulty even in what seems easy, and so never has any difficulties.
AI Ao Rā
Mahia te kāore he mahi, mahia te kāore he āheinga, kainga te kāore he reka. Whakaarohia te mea torutoru he nui, whakaarohia te mea iti he nunui, whakaputa pai ki te mauākā katoa. Rapua te uaua i tōna ngāwari, rapua te nui i tōna mōkito. Nō reira, ko ngā mea uaua katoa o te ao ka puta mai i ngā mea ngāwari, ko ngā mea nunui katoa ka puta mai i ngā mea iti. Nō reira, ko te hunga mātau ka kore rawa e whai kia nui, ā, ka taea e rātou te nui. Ko te hunga ka whakaputa maunu noa, ka ngaro ō rātou kōrero pono; ko te hunga ka whakaaro ngāwari noa ngā mea katoa, ka tino uaua ō rātou. Nō reira, ko te hunga mātau ka whakaaro uaua tonu ngā mea katoa, ā, nō reira, kāore rātou e rangona ai te uaua.
