Chapter 77
Te Huarahi o te Rangi
Taketake
天之道，损有余而补不足。人之道则不然，损不足以奉有余。
孰能有余以奉天下？唯有道者。是以圣人为而不恃，功成而不处，其不欲见贤。
Whakamaoritanga
Te huarahi o te rangi, he whakapōriri i ngā mea nui rawa hei whakawhiwhi i ngā mea iti. Te huarahi a te tangata ia, kāhore i ēnei. Nā te hunga rawakore te hunga taonga e whakapau ana.
Mā wai rā ngā mea nui rawa e hoatu ki te ao? Ko te hunga mau i te Huarahi anake. Nā reira, ko te tangata mātau e mahi, kāhore ia e whakawhirinaki ki ōna mahi; e ea ana ōna mahi, kāhore ia e noho ki raro i ōna pūmanawa; ā, kāhore ia e hiahia kia mōhio te ao ki tōna mātauranga.
Whakaaroaro Hōhonu
He aha tēnei upoko mō?
E whakaatu ana tēnei upoko i te huarahi o te rangi, arā, ko te Pūnaha o te Ao. He rite tēnei ki te tītaha rāpā i te kōpae - ka whakaitia ngā mea teitei, ka whakanikia ngā mea hāwhea, ka whakapōriria ngā mea nui rawa, ā, ka whakawhiwhia ngā mea iti. Ko te huarahi o te rangi, he whakapōriri i ngā mea nui rawa, he whakawhiwhi i ngā mea iti. Engari, ko te huarahi a te tangata, ka tahi, ka tango i ngā mea a te hunga rawakore hei hoatu ki te hunga taonga. Nā wai rā e māia ki te hoatu i ōna mea nui rawa ki te ao? Ko te hunga mau i te Huarahi anake.
He aha tēnei ki ahau?
Kua tino kite ahau i te āhua o tēnei ao hurinui. He maha ngā waka ka tango i ngā mea a te hunga rawakore - i ō rātau whenua, i ō rātau rawa - hei whakapiki ake i te oranga o te hunga taonga. He uaua pea tēnei mea te whawhai i tēnei ahurea, engari mā te ako i te Huarahi, mā te noho pūmau ki ngā tikanga o te Taha, ka āhei ahau ki te noho hei tauira mō ētahi atu. Me ako ahau kia whakaiti i ōku ake hiahia, kia waihanga wā mō te tautoko i te hunga rawakore.
He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?
I tēnei rā, ka titiro ahau ki ōku ake rawa, ā, ka kimihia he huarahi hei tuku i tētahi wāhi ki te hunga rawakore. Ahakoa he pūtea, he kai, he mōhiohio rānei - ko te mea nui, kia tū tangata ahau hei kaiwhakapōriri i ngā mea nui rawa, hei tautoko i te hunga iti. Ka kaua ahau e mahi i tēnei mea hei pūmanawa, engari mā te ngākau mahara noa iho.
