Chapter 58
Te Kaupapa Kaore i Whakaaro
Taketake
祸兮福之所倚，福兮祸之所伏。孰知其极？其无正。正复为奇，善复为妖。人之迷，其日固久。
是以圣人方而不割，廉而不刿，直而不肆，光而不耀。
Whakamaoritanga
Ka tau te aitua ki te wāhi e takahia ana e te hari, ā, ka tau te hari ki te wāhi e ripatia ana e te aitua. Nā wai e mōhio te pūtaketanga? Kāore he pono. Ka huri te tika hei mākutu, ka huri te pai hei kino. Kāore te tangata i te mōhio, kua roa rawa te wā.
Nā reira, ko te tangata i arongia:
Ka tika, engari kāore e motuhia;
Ka mārire, engari kāore e whara;
Ka pono, engari kāore e nanakia;
Ka mārama, engari kāore e ihiihi.
Whakaaroaro Hōhonu
He aha tēnei upoko mō?
Ko tēnei upane ka whakaatu i te hononga taura ātea o te ao: ina ngāwari te kāwanatanga, ka puāwai te iwi; ina pūkenga rawa, ka ngoikore. Ka rarangi te mate ki te wāhi o te hari, ā, ka noho te hari ki te wāhi o te mate. Kāore he pūtaketanga mō ngā mea e taka nei, nā te mea ka huri te tika hei mākutu, ka huri te pai hei kino. Kua roa tēnei pāmamae o te hunga tāngata.
He aha tēnei ki ahau?
Hei tētahi tangata e noho ana i tēnei ao huripainga, ka mōhio ahau ki tēnei aahua o ngā mea e huri haere ana. I ētahi wā, ko ngā mea ka taea e au te whakaaro he kino, kāore anō kia huri ki ngā mea pai rawa ake. Ka ako ahau kia kaua e tino whakapono ki ngā mea e āhua nei he tika, nā te mea ka āhei pea te huri ki te taha kē.
He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?
I tēnei rā, ka titiro ahau ki ōku ake mahi, ā, ka kimihia te wāhi ka taea te whakahaumaru i tētahi tangata, kia kaua e tino whakataurite rawa i a ia. Ka kōrero mārire ki tētahi, ā, ka noho mōrire i ngā mea e tika ana.
