Chapter 73
Māia, Tū, me te Ara o te Rangi
Taketake
天之道，不争而善胜，不言而善应，不召而自来，繟然而善谋。天网恢恢，疏而不失。
Whakamaoritanga
Ko te ara o te rangi, kāhore e whakataetae engari ka uia, kāhore e kōrero engari ka whaihua, kāhore e karanga engari ka tae mai, ātea tonu engari ka whakamahia. He whatu nui te whatu o te rangi, he korokē engari kāhore e taka.
Whakaaroaro Hōhonu
He aha tēnei upoko mō?
E mea ana tēnei upoko, arā, ko te hunga e māia ana ki te mahi mārō, ka mate; ko te hunga e māia ana ki te noho pūmau, ka ora. Ko tēnei e rua, ko tētahi hei āwhina, ko tētahi hei whakamate. Kāhore te rangi e whakataetae, engari ka uia; kāhore e kōrero, engari ka whaihua; kāhore e karanga, engari ka tae mai. He whatu nui te whatu o te rangi, he korokē engari kāhore e taka tetahi mea.
He aha tēnei ki ahau?
Hei tāngata, ka taea e au te whakaaro ki ōku māia me te huarahi e hoe nei ahau. Ka whakaaro au ki ngā wā i māia ahau ki te mahi mārō, ā, i pēhea te otinga. He mea nui kia mōhio au mēnā me noho ngāwari, kia rongo au i te hōhonutanga o te rangi, kia āta noho au i roto i te rere o te ao.
He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?
I tēnei rā, ka āta titiro ahau ki ōku mahi, kia kite au mēnā he māia pono tērā, kia kite rānei me noho ngāwari. Ka waiata ahau i tētahi karakia mō te ngāwari me te māia, kia āwhina i a au kia rongo i te ara o te rangi, kia āta noho, kia āta rangimārie.
