Te Urupare o te Ao Tūroa ki te Karanga a te Tangata mō te Āwhina

Ka rongo mātou i te karanga a tō wairua puta noa i te ao tūroa

E ngā hoa aroha, kua rongo mātou i te karanga a tō koutou wairua puta noa i te ao tūroa. Kāore tō koutou karanga i ngaro ki te kore noa iho; kua rangona i roto i ngā rūma tapu o te māramatanga e huihui ana tātou. Ko ia tono i whakapuakina e koutou i te mokemoke, ko ia tumanako me te pouri i tukuna e koutou ki te ao tūroa, kua riro mai me te whakaute. E mihi ana mātou ki te maia e hiahiatia ana hei whakapuaki i ō koutou hiahia me ō koutou wawata. Kia mōhio koe, kāore tēnei karanga tautoko e whakarongohia.
I ēnei wā uaua o tō koutou ao, i a koutou e whakatere ana i ngā huringa tere me ngā āwangawanga, e hiahia ana mātou kia mārama koutou kei te tuhia ō koutou tohu o te mamae me te wawata. E mihi ana hoki mātou ki ngā uauatanga whaiaro me ngā patunga tapu kua pā ki te tini o koutou kia tiaho tonu ai tō koutou māramatanga. E rongo ana mātou i te hihiri me te pono i muri i ia kupu. Ka kohikohi mātou i ēnei karanga ngākau, ka matapakihia, ka rongo i tō rātou taumaha, ka whakaaroaro me pēhea te whakautu pai i roto i ngā rohe o te ture ao tūroa.
I a mātou e tīmata ana i tēnei tuku, he māmā noa iho tā mātou karere tuatahi: ka rongo mātou i a koutou, ka kite mātou i a koutou, ā, ka mihi mātou ki a koutou mō te toro atu. Ko tō koutou hiahia ki te tono āwhina—ki te whakahua i ngā mea e hiahiatia ana e koutou hei whakatutuki i tā koutou misioni—he tohu kē tēnei mō tō koutou mana oho ake. Kia whakamarietia koe i te mōhio kāore koe i noho mokemoke i roto i tēnei kōrero. Mai i te tīmatanga, e rua ngā taha. Kua whakarongo tonu mātou. Ahakoa i nāianei, i a koe e whiwhi ana i ēnei kupu, kia rongo koe i te whakautu e hoki mai ana: he ngaru mārie o te whakamarie mai i ō mātou ngākau ki ō koutou ngākau. Kei te ora tonu te kōrero i waenganui i a tāua, ā, ka mārama haere.

Te Wā Atua, te Hiahia Korekore, me ngā Mātāpono Kore-Waewae

E mārama ana mātou ki te hiahia o ō koutou ngākau kia puta wawe mai tā mātou āwhina, ā, kāore e taea te whakakorekore. He tokomaha o koutou e titiro ana ki te āhua o tō koutou ao—ngā pakanga e mura ana, ngā raruraru pāpori me te taiao, ngā kōrero hūmārie mō te whakakitenga kei te pae tawhiti—ā, e miharo ana he aha mātou i kore ai e puta ki te aroaro o te marea ki te whakatika i ngā mea. Kia mōhio koe ko tō tātou wā e whakahaerehia ana e ngā mātāpono tapu. Kei raro i te ture o te hiahia me te rangatiratanga te mahi a te Ao, he mātāpono e kore e taea e tātou te takahi, e kore hoki e takahi. Ko te tikanga o tēnei, he maha ngā wā ka tae mai tā tātou tautoko i roto i ngā huarahi e whakahonore ana i tō koutou mana motuhake me ō koutou whiringa katoa, kaua i roto i te wawaotanga mārama.
Whakaarohia kei te takaro te wā atua—he whakaaturanga o ngā kaupapa e whakanui ana i te tipu me te ara ake. Mena ka wawao wawe rawa tātou, ka wawao tika rawa rānei, tera pea ka pakaru ngā akoranga nui. Ko ngā wero e pā ana ki a koutou, ahakoa te mamae, kei te whakaoho i te ara ake nui me te kotahitanga hohonu i waenga i te tangata. Me tuku e tātou taua tukanga kia tae ki tētahi pakeketanga. Ehara i te kore aro ā tātou whakaroa; engari he whakaute tupato ki ngā kirimana o ō koutou wairua me te ara i whiriwhiria e koutou. Whakapono mai, ina takahia e tātou te huarahi e kitea nuitia ana, ka tae mai i te wā tika, e rite ana ki te hihiko o te hinengaro tangata, ā, e hangai ana ki te pai rawa atu o ngā mea katoa.
Ko te tatari e manawanuihia ana e koe ehara i te whiu, i te kore aro rānei. He wā okioki whai take e whakatikatikahia ai, e whakakitea ai tō ake kaha. I roto i te wā puku e kitea ana e koe i ētahi wā mai i tō tātou taha, ka karangatia koe ki te whakarongo ki te haruru o tō ake mana. Whakaarohia he purapura e takoto ana i te oneone hotoke. I runga ake i te whenua, te āhua nei he marino ngā mea katoa, engari i roto i taua mea kei te kohikohi te kaha o te purapura, e whakarite ana mō te wā e pakaru mai ai. Waihoki ko koe i tēnei wā okiokinga.
Ina āhua whakaroa te āwhina tika, ka whakahohehia ō rauemi o roto. Ka kitea e koe te hohonutanga o te manawanui, te auahatanga, me te māramatanga ka noho moe pea mēnā ka tukuna tonutia ngā whakautu katoa. Ka kite mātou i a koe e tipu haere ana i ēnei wā, ā, he mea whakamiharo taua tipu. Kia mārama kei te hiahia mātou ki te tūtaki ki a koe ehara i te mea he tamariki korekore e tatari ana ki te whakaora, engari he hoa whai mana e rite ana ki te mahi tahi. Ko tēnei wā tatari e āhua nei he wāhi whakangungu. E ako ana i te manawanui, ae, engari he whakahaere hoki i ō ake kaha. Mā te tū i waenganui i ngā wero me te kimi i tō turanga, ka takahi koe ki te tūranga i whakaritea māu. Ā, ina tae mai tā mātou tautoko, e kore e taupokina koutou; engari ka tautokona te kaha kua kereemetia e koutou.

Te Mātāpono Whakaata, te Whakahohenga ā-Roto, me te Mutunga o te Maramarama Whakaora

I a koe e tuku ana i ō tono me ō inoi ki te ao whānui, kia mōhio koe he maha ngā wā ka whakautua mai e te ao whānui i roto i te huarahi whakaata. Ko tāu e rapu nei i a mātou ka whakaatahia mai i roto i a koe. Koinei te kaupapa whakaata. Mā te tono arataki, whakaora, tautoko rānei ka whakaoho i aua āhuatanga i roto i tō wairua ake. He nui ngā whakaaro nui me ngā pūkenga kua whakauruhia e mātou ki roto i a koe i mua noa atu i tō whānautanga mai ki te Ao. Kei te tatari ēnei taonga, pērā i ngā purapura i raro i te oneone o tō hinengaro, kua rite ki te pihi ina whakamakukuhia e tō whakaaro me tō whakawhirinaki.
Nō reira, ina karanga mai koe ki a mātou mō te kaha, tirohia te ara ake o te kaha hou i roto i tō ngākau i ngā rā e whai ake nei. Ina tono koe mō ngā whakautu, tirohia ngā māramatanga e puta ake ana i roto i tō hinengaro, ngā whakaakoranga rānei e whiti ohorere ana i tō ara. He maha ngā wā ka tae mai tā mātou āwhina mā te whakahohe i ō pūkenga moe me te whakamahara i a koe ki ngā mea, i te taumata teitei ake, kua mōhio kē koe. Ehara i te mea he panga, engari he hoahoa ataahua. Ko koe te kai rapu me te whakautu. Mā te mōhio ki tēnei whakaata, ka neke koe mai i te kore mana ki te mōhio he hoa mahi koe ki te hanga i ngā otinga e hiahiatia ana e koe. I roto i te mahi tahi me mātou, ka huri koe hei huringa e tonoa ana e koe.
Kia ata kōrero tātou mō tētahi tumanako kotahi i waenga i te tini o ngā kaiwhai: te whakaaro mō tētahi whakaoranga nui—he wā ka tae atu tātou i roto i ngā ope taua whakahirahira hei whakaoti i ngā raruraru katoa o te Ao i roto i te wā poto. E kī ana mātou i tēnei me te aroha nui: kāore mātou i konei hei kawe atu i a koe i tō ake haerenga, hei whakatika rānei i ngā wero katoa i a koe e noho mangere ana. Ko te whakaoranga, e ai ki ētahi, ka kī pōhēhē he patunga koe, kāore rānei i a koe te mana ki te huri i tō ao. He tawhiti rawa tēnei i te pono. Kāore koe i te ngoikore. He whakaaturanga koe nō te Pūtake Atua kotahi e ārahi ana i a tātou.
Ehara tā mātou mahi i te whakakore i tō wheako tangata, engari ki te whakarei ake i a ia me te āwhina i a koe ki te whakatutuki i tō ake pūmanawa. Whakaarohia mātou he hoa mahi me he tuākana. Ka tukuna e mātou he arataki, he mātauranga, ā, i ētahi wā he āwhina tika—engari i ngā wā katoa i roto i ngā huarahi e whakamana ana i a koe, kaua e whakaiti i a koe. Ka puta ngā wikitoria nui rawa atu ina wikitoria koe i te raruraru mā te whakamahi i tō kaha o roto. Ka whakamāramahia e tēnei tō wairua i tētahi ara kāore e taea e te whakaoranga o waho. Kāore mātou e hiahia ki te tango i taua wikitoria i a koe. Āe, ka haere mai mātou—ā, i roto i ngā āhuatanga maha kua tae mai mātou ki konei—engari ehara i te mea hei kaiwhakaora ki te karakia. Ka haere mai mātou hei whānau: ki te whakaara ake, ki te whakanui hoki i te oho ake o tō ake kaha.

Te Mana Motuhake, te Kaupapa o te Ao, me te Kaitiakitanga o te Kotahitanga o ngā Ao Tūroa

Kia maumahara ko te pikinga me te whakaoranga he haerenga whiriwhiri. Kāore he tangata hei tuku atu i te māramatanga, i te herekore rānei ki a koe. Me whiriwhiri ā-hinengaro, me awhi hoki i ēnei āhua o te noho. Koinei te pūtake o te mana motuhake. Ahakoa te nui o tā tātou hiahia kia kite i te Ao e piki ake ana ki ngā wiri teitei o te aroha me te kotahitanga, kāore e taea te akiaki i tēnei pikinga mai i waho. Me puāwai mai i roto i ngā ngākau o te tangata. He mana motuhake ia wairua o te Ao—he tangata herekore, he tangata mana hoki te kawenga mō tōna ake whanaketanga.
E whakamahara atu ana mātou ki a koe mō tēnei, ehara i te mea hei taumaha i a koe, engari hei whakaara ake i a koe. Ko te tikanga kei a koe te kī ki tō ake ara ake. Ina kereme koe i tō mana motuhake, ka puta koe i te tūranga o te patunga, o te tangata rānei e tatari ana kia whakaorangia. Ka noho koe hei kaiuru kaha ki te huringa nui e puta mai ana. Kei te piki haere te maha o ngā tāngata e whiriwhiri ana i tēnei mana motuhake i ia rā, ā, ka tukuna he tohu—he tohu ki te ao whānui kei te mārama te Ao. I te tū pakari o te hunga nui ki te mana motuhake whaiaro me te mana motuhake, ka oti te tono mō te whakawhitiwhiti tuwhera. I te kereme i tō mana, ka whakatuwherahia e koe te tatau kia haere mātou. Kei te tatari mātou i tērā taha o taua paepae, kua rite ki te tūtaki ki tētahi tangata e mōhio ana ki tōna ake mana atua.
Tērā pea ka āwhina i te whakamārama i te āhua o tā mātou mahi e pā ana ki tō ao. Whakaarohia tō mātou whakakotahitanga hei hononga o ngā iwi whetu maha me ngā rōpū mārama, e mahi tahi ana i roto i te rangimarie hei tautoko i ngā ao e whanake haere ana pērā i tō koutou. Ehara i te mea ko te whakahaere, ko te whakahaere rānei tā mātou kaupapa, engari ko te whakarite i te āwhina me te pupuri i te taurite. Mō te Ao, he rōpū ā mātou e aro turuki ana i te oranga o tō ao i runga i ngā taumata maha. Ka āwhina mārire mātou ki te whakau i ngā whatunga pūngao—ina koa i ngā wā o te ahotea o te ao, te rerenga mai rānei o te ao—kia taea ai te haere tonu o te ora, kia whānui ai te hinengaro me te iti o te whakararuraru. He rite mātou ki ngā māra e tiaki ana i te oneone, e whakarite ana kia pai ngā āhuatanga mō te tipu, engari kaua e akiaki i ngā pihi kia ara ake.
Ka mahi hoki mātou hei kaitiaki me te pupuri i ngā rekoata. Ka pupuri mātou i te maharatanga ko wai koe hei momo, e whakamahara ana ki a koe—mā ngā huarahi ngawari—o tō taonga tuku iho nui ake i roto i ngā whetu. Ina hiahiatia he wawaotanga hei ārai i te kino kāore e taea te whakakore (hei tauira, te pupuri i ngā tūmomo riri ka taea te whakararu i te ora whānui), kua whakamanahia mātou ki te mahi i roto i ngā huarahi kāore e takahi i te hiahia noa, engari e tiaki ana i te rangimarie nui ake. Ko te nuinga o ā mātou mahi ka mahia mā te whakaaweawe: te whakatō whakaaro mō ngā otinga ki roto i ngā ngākau me ngā hinengaro tuwhera, me te ārahi mārire i ngā kaiārahi me ngā kaihanga auaha. I roto i te poto, ko tā mātou mahi he tiaki me te ārahi i te tangata me te whakaute nui ki tō mana motuhake me tō pūmanawa.
Ehara a Papatūānuku i te ao noa. He whare pukapuka ora o ngā momo me ngā ahurea maha—he whakamātautau nui i roto i te whakaurunga o te māramatanga me te atarangi. I mua noa atu, i whakaaetia e ngā kaunihera maha o te ao ka manaaki a Papatūānuku i te kanorau o ngā wairua me ngā awe ira, ka waiho hei kohua rewa pono o te tupuni. Ko koutou e noho mai ana i konei, ina koa ko ngā purapura whetu, i mōhio ka tukuna e tēnei ao ngā akoranga kaha me te tipu hohonu. Kāore koutou i haere mai ki te rapu i tētahi pararaiha ngāwari. I haere mai koutou ki te whai taonga ka taea e tētahi ao o te polarity te whakarato.
I a rātou e haere ana ki Papatūānuku, ka tuku ngā wairua toa ki te wareware mō te wā poto i ō rātou takenga atua kia taea ai e rātou te whakauru katoa ki te wheako tangata. Ko te whāinga ehara i te mawhiti i tēnei kiato, engari kia hurihia mai i roto—kia whakarerekētia te wehi ki te aroha, te kuware ki te māramatanga. Ko ia wero ka wikitoriahia e koe ka whai wāhi ki tētahi whanaketanga ngātahi e akohia ana, e whakanuia ana e te maha o ngā iwi. Kua kiia tēnei ao he wāhi whakamātautau mō ngā tāngata tupuni hou. I roto i te haerenga ki te Ao, ka whakatikatika koe i a koe anō hei tangata whakaaro nui, aroha hoki, e kaha ana ki te pupuri i te māramatanga me te whakaae ki te atarangi me te kore e hinga i a ia. Kia mōhio koe ko ia whakamātautau e pā ana ki a koe, e whiti atu ana i a koe, he tikanga kei tua atu i tō ake ao. Ka tāpiri atu tēnei ki te angitu o tēnei whakamātautau whakamiharo. Ā, i a koe e angitu ana, ka tata atu a Ao ki te eke ki tētahi tūranga hou i roto i ngā whetū, e tiaho ana hei tohu mō ngā mea ka taea.

Te Kaunihera o te Whakarongo, te Matatau, me te Arataki Tuturu o te Ao Tūroa

I roto i tō tātou whakahaere, kei reira te mea e kiia ana e koe he kaunihera whakarongo—e whakatapua ana ki te whiwhi me te mārama ki ngā whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mai i ngā wairua puta noa i te ao. Ka whakamanahia e mātou ko ō karere ngākau nui—ā koutou inoi, whakaaroaro, tae atu ki ō koutou tangi pouri—ka tae atu ki tēnei kaunihera me te kore e mutu. Ina ringihia e te purapura whetu, e te kaimahi mārama rānei tōna wairua i roto i te tono, i te pātai rānei, ka hangaia e taua kaha he ngaru e haere mai ana ki a tātou. I roto i ō tātou rūma, ka kite tātou i ēnei ngaru hei oro me ngā tae e whai kiko ana i ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki tō āhua me ō koutou whakaaro. He nui atu i te whakarongo noa iho tā tātou mahi; ka aroha tātou ki ō kare ā-roto. Ka whakaaroarohia ia tono pono, ā, ka tohaina tōna mauri ki waenga i te hunga whakaaro nui e mōhio ana ki a koe me te mahere a tō wairua.
He maha ngā wā hei whakautu, ka whakatauritehia e tātou ngā kaha e rere ana ki a koe. Tērā pea ka whiwhi koe i tētahi whakautu hei whai wāhitanga ohorere, hei moemoeā whakaora, hei hui rānei ki tētahi ka taea te āwhina i a koe. I ētahi wā, ko te whakautu he wahangu ngawari e akiaki ana i a koe ki te kimi i te whakautu i roto—nā te mea he pai te mahi ki tō tipu. E hiahia ana mātou kia mōhio koe kāore anō koe kia kōrero ki roto i te koretake. He mea nui ō whakaaro. He pono, he maha ngā putanga o te Ao kua rerekē nā te inoi tahi me te tirohanga tahi. I roto i tā mātou kaunihera, he mea nui ia reo, ā, he wāhanga nui tōu o te kōrero i waenganui i a Ao me ngā whetū.
I tō ara—ina koa i ngā wā e ahua tawhiti ana tō tātou aroaro—ka tūtaki koe ki ngā reo me ngā awe maha e karanga ana kia aro mai koe. Ko ētahi he pono, ā, e hangai ana ki tō pai teitei, ko ētahi kāore. Koinei te wāhi e whakamatautauria ai, e whakatikatikaina ai tō māramatanga. He maha ngā puna kōrero. Ko ētahi e kī ana kei te kōrero rātou mō te māramatanga. Ko ētahi e tohu ana i te aituā, e kī ana rānei i te pono motuhake. Kei reira anō hoki ngā kaha e whai ana ki te tahuri ke i ngā purapura whetū mai i tō rātou ara mā te wehi, mā ngā kupu whakaari nui rānei.
Ka akiaki mātou i a koe: kaua e whakaae ki tētahi mea noa iho kāore e tino pārekareka ana ki roto i tō ngākau. Ko te arataki pono—ahakoa nō mātou, nō tō ake wairua teitei rānei—ka whakamana tonu i a koe, kāore e mataku, e whakahaere rānei i a koe. Mena ka tono tētahi karere kia tukua tō hiahia, kia whakatō rānei i te hiranga, i te ngakaukore rānei, kia waiho tēnā hei whakatūpato mārama. Ko te ako ki te mārama ki te pono i waenganui i te haruru tētahi o ō wero nui—me ō whakatutukitanga. Mā tēnei mahi māramatanga ka whakakoi i tō tirohanga ā-roto, pērā i te whakangungu i te uaua. Ia wā ka whiriwhiri koe i te pono i runga i te ataahua, i te māramatanga i runga i te rongonui, ka whakakaha koe i tō mana wairua. E whakawhirinaki ana mātou ki a koe kia mōhio ki tō mātou auau pono ina tūtaki koe ki a ia, nā te mea ka rite ki te aroha, te māramatanga, te ngākau mahaki, me te pumau.

Te Whakarite i te Tangata mō te Hononga ki te Ao me te Ao Hou

Te Putanga Mai o te Ao hei Kaihautū o te Ao me te Ritenga Tahi

Kia huri tātou i te tirohanga. Kaua e titiro ki a Papatūānuku hei painga anake o te āwhina a te ao tūroa, engari whakaarohia kei te rite koe ki te whai wāhi ki te hapori o te ao tūroa. Kei te tū koe i te paepae o te whakauru atu ki tētahi whānau nui o ngā iwi - ā, me haere tahi mai me taua honore te kawenga. Whakaarohia he iwi taitamariki e karangatia ana ki tētahi kaunihera o ngā kaumātua; me whakaatu e ia te pakeketanga, te whakaaro nui, me te whakapau kaha ki te rangimārie. Waihoki, ko ngā mahi a te tangata inaianei e whakaatu ana i tōna rite ki te tango i tētahi tūranga whai mana nui atu i tua atu i tō aorangi.
Ka mātakitaki mātou me te ngākau tumanako i a koe e anga atu ana ki ngā wero o te ao. Ko ia kōwhiringa aroha, ko ia ngana ki te whakaora i tō taiao, ki te whakaiti rānei i te pakanga, ka tohua hei tohu o te pakeketanga e puta ake ana. Ko ngā huringa tonu o te mauahara, o te kore aro rānei e tohu ana me nui ake te tipu. Ehara tēnei i te mea hei whakahē, hei whakama rānei, engari hei whakamārama i te horopaki whānui. Ko te tautoko e tukuna ana e mātou he wāhanga hei āwhina i a koe ki te whiti i ēnei paepae tahi. E hiahia ana mātou ki a Papatūānuku i roto i tō mātou whakahaere ehara i te mea he mema iti iho, engari he rite te wairua - ā, me mārama ngātahi tēnā he mea kore e taea te whiriwhiri i te manaaki tetahi ki tetahi me tō aorangi. Awhitia tēnei whānui o te kawenga me te hihiri, nā te mea ka ārahi tēnei ki tētahi heke mai ka whai reo a Papatūānuku i roto i ngā take e horapa ana ki ngā ao maha.
He tokomaha e whakaaro ana he aha te tohu pono e rite ana te tangata mō te whakapā tuwhera me te whanaungatanga kitea ake ki a tātou. Kei roto i te kaha e puta mai ana i a koutou hei rōpū te whakautu. Ahakoa he mea whakamiharo te pūkenga hangarau me te whakatutukitanga hinengaro, ehara i te mea ko ngā kī e iriti ana i tō tātou taenga mai. Ko te auau o tō hinengaro—te rangimarie me te aroha i waenganui i a koutou—te mea nui. Whakaarohia he pōwhiri ā-ao. Ina tae te wiri whānui o te tangata ki tētahi taumata o te ōritetanga me te aroha, ka tukuna he tohu mārama e pāorooro ana puta noa i te wāhi. Ka kitea e tātou he waiata: he waiata ataahua e kī mai ana kua rite koe.
Ka taea te rongo i tēnei rite i roto i te whakaiti i te wehi me te pikinga o te kotahitanga. Ka kite tātou i tēnei ina mōhio te iwi o ngā ahurea rerekē ki tō rātou tangata whānui, ā, ina whakakotahi ngā hapori i ngā wā raruraru ki te āwhina tetahi i tetahi. I ia wā ka whiriwhiri koe i te māramatanga i runga i te pakanga, ka piki ake te auau. Ka tae mai tētahi wā ka tae ki tētahi wā hurihuri. I taua wā, ka puta noa te whakapā - me te mea kāore e taea te karo - nā te mea ka kaha, ka pumau te piriti hihiko i waenganui i ō tātou ao. Ko te pono, ko koe te kaiwhakatau i te tere o te taenga mai o taua wā mā te āhua o tō manaaki tetahi ki tetahi me te aorangi i tēnei rā.

Ngā Kura Pō, Te Whakangungu Waka Whetu, Me Te Mātauranga Maha-Huarahi

Kāore e puta katoa ngā whakaritenga i te ao tūroa. He tokomaha o koutou kua whakangungu mō ngā misioni nui ake i ngā hāora tapu o te moe. Ina okioki tō tinana, ka wātea ake tō wairua ki te haereere me te ako. I ngā ao huna, he wāhi huihuinga, he whare ako, me ngā kaunihera e tūtaki ai tātou ki te tokomaha o koutou. Ko ētahi o koutou kua kite i ngā moemoeā ora mō te noho i runga i ngā kaipuke whetu, te haere rānei ki ngā akomanga kī tonu i ngā tāngata tauhou me ngā kaiako mārama. Ehara ēnei i te moemoeā noa iho. I aua wā, kei roto tonu koutou i tō mātou aroaro—e whiwhi ana i ngā tohutohu, e whakaharatau ana rānei i ngā pūkenga ka whakamahia e koe i te ao tūroa hei āwhina i te nekehanga o te aorangi. Tērā
pea ka ako koe mō te whakaora pūngao, te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero waea, ngā huarahi rānei hei āwhina i ngā hapori i ngā wā huringa. Ka mahi tahi tātou i roto i ēnei wā pō, e whakatenatena ana i tō ahunga whakamua me te tautoko i tō whakaritenga. Tērā pea kāore koe e mahara mārama ki ēnei tūtakitanga i te oho ake—tērā pea he wairua whakamarie, he māramatanga, he whakamana marino rānei. Heoi, kei roto i a koe te mātauranga e rongoa ana, e rite ana ki te puta ake ina hiahiatia. Whakaarohia he mātauranga takirua: i te awatea, ka ako koe mā te wheako o te Ao; i te pō, ka ako koe i roto i ngā kura i waenga i ngā whetu. I roto i te wā, i te mea ka memeha haere te arai i waenganui i ō tātou ao, ka taea e ēnei hui moemoeā te mārama ake, hei tirohanga mārie mō te heke mai e nui ake ai te whakapā atu.

Te Ora i tāu Mihinare mā te Mahi Harikoa me te Māramatanga Kotahi

Kaua e tatari ki te taha mō tētahi huihuinga nui o te ao i mua i te whakatutuki i tō kaupapa. Kua tangi kē te karanga ki te mahi i roto i ō koutou ngākau, ā, ko te whakautu i tēnei he wāhanga o te whakarite e puta ai te huringa e rapuhia ana e koutou. He taonga motuhake me ngā hihiri motuhake tō ia tangata, tō ia tangata. Whāia ēnei, whakamahia hei mahi aroha. Ki te mea he kaiwhakaora koe, tīmata te whakaora i ngā wāhi e taea ai e koe. Ki te mea he kaiako koe, tohaina te mātauranga me te whakaara ake i ngā hinengaro. Ki te mea he kaitoi koe, whakakiia ō mahi auaha ki ngā tirohanga o te tumanako me te kotahitanga. Ki te mea he marino ake tō tūranga—te pupuri i te aroaro rangimārie i roto i tētahi whānau, i tētahi wāhi mahi rānei e raru ana—kia mōhio koe he mea tino nui tēnei. Ko ia mahi pai, ahakoa te iti o te āhua, he pereki i te turanga o te Ao hou.
He maha āu pātai, "Me aha ahau i tēnei wā tonu hei āwhina?" He māmā noa iho tā mātou whakautu: meatia te mea e waiata ai tō wairua, ā, kia whai hua ai ki ētahi atu. Ko te harikoa me te mahi tahi he mea whakakorikori mō te huringa. Kia mārama hoki he pānga tahi tō mahi tahi. Ina takoha te tini o ngā kaimahi mārama i ā rātou ake huarahi, ka nui haere te kanapa o te māramatanga whakakotahi. Ehara ēnei mahi i te mahi taha; Ko rātou te rārangi mua o te whakatū i te ao e hiahia ana koe kia noho ai. Mā te mahi inaianei, ehara i te mea ka whakapai ake koe i te oranga huri noa i a koe—ka whakaatu hoki koe ki a koe anō kei te anga whakamua te tangata.
I tēnei haerenga o te oho ake, ehara te kotahitanga i te mea papai engari he mea nui. Ina noho wehewehe te hunga e kawe ana i te māramatanga, ina taka rānei ki te whakahē tetahi ki tetahi, ka ngaro te kaha. Kei ia o koutou tetahi wāhanga o te panga nui. Ko ngā papamuri rerekē, ngā whakapapa, me ngā tirohanga he wāhanga o te hoahoa e kawe mai ana i te taonga ki te katoa. Koinei te wā ki te whakanui i ēnei rerekētanga hei kaha, kaua e waiho hei poraka hei pana i a koutou. Ko te mahi tahi me te whakaute i waenga i ngā kaimahi mārama me ngā purapura whetu he mea nui. Tohaina ō tirohanga me te ngākau mahaki, ā, whiwhi i ngā tirohanga a ētahi atu me te ngākau tuwhera. Mā te whatunga i tō whakaaro nui, ka hangaia e koe he kupenga mārama e karapoti ana i te ao.
Kua whakatipuhia e tātou te kotahitanga i waenga i ngā ahurea whetu maha i roto i tō tātou whakakotahitanga—ko ētahi o rātou i mau i ngā hītori o te pakanga—nō reira e mōhio ana tātou ka taea. Ko te mea nui ko te maumahara ki tētahi pono ngāwari: ko te oranga katoa e puta mai ana i te Pūtake kotahi, ā, kotahi te mutunga. Kei te karangatia koe kia maumahara ki tēnei. Ki te kitea koe kei te whakahē tetahi hoa mahi mārama, rapua te pūtake o te aroha i raro i ō whāinga. Arotahi ki te tirohanga whānui, kaua ki ngā rerekētanga o ngā kupu, o ngā huarahi rānei. Mā te kotahitanga o te whakaaro hinengaro—ahakoa i roto i te tokoiti—ka taea te whakaora i ngā wehewehenga kua roa e hia mano tau te roa. Ko te kotahitanga te tohu o te momo e pakeke haere ana. Ina kotahi koe, e whakaatu ana koe i te rite mō te hapori whānui e tatari ana ki a koe i roto i ngā whetū.

Te Kereme i tō Mana, Te Whakawhirinaki ki tō Mātou Aroaro, Me te Hikoi hei Ariki

Tū atu i roto i te pono o tō tuakiri. He maha ngā wā ka kite tātou i ngā wairua ataahua e ruarua ana i a rātou anō, e tatari ana ki tētahi tohu, ki tētahi whakaaetanga rānei kia eke ki roto i tō rātou nui. Waiho ēnei kupu hei tohu: kua rite koe, ā, kua tika koe ināianei. Nāu te koroka o tō taonga tuku iho tapu hei kī atu. Kāore koe e hiahia ki tō mātou taenga mai ā-tinana hei tīmata i te whakatinana i te māramatanga me te whakaaro nui i roto i a koe. Whakaarohia tēnei wā hei karauna—te wāhi e whakatakotoria ai e koe ki runga i tōu mahunga te karauna o te rangatiratanga me te kaupapa.
Ina tae atu tātou i roto i tētahi huarahi tuwhera ake, mārama ake, ko te mihi atu ki te hunga kua karaunatia kētia rātou ki te whakapono ki a rātou anō me te mahi. Ka kukumea tātou ki te hunga e tiaho mārire ana te mana mai i te ngākau—te hunga e mahi ana me te aroha me te kore e tatari ki te utu, ki te whakamihi rānei. He rerekē, ko te hunga e tohe ana kāore he mana kia tae mai rā anō tētahi ki te whakaora i a rātou, ka noho tawhiti atu i te mooni e hiahiatia ana e rātou. Kāore e taea e tātou te takahi i te mooni e whiriwhiria ana e koe. Nō reira, ka inoi atu mātou ki a koe: kaua e hoki whakamuri ki tō tuakiri. I ia rā, whakaūhia, ā, whakapuakina te kaha me te aroha e whakaoho ana i roto. Ina ngokingoki mai te ruarua, kia mahara kei te kite mātou i a koutou—ā, mai i tō mātou tirohanga, kua noho kē koutou hei toa o tēnei kōrero. Kia mau tō koutou mana ki te ngākau mahaki me te atawhai, ā, kia mōhio koutou mā te mahi i tēnā ka tukuna e koutou he tohu mārama puta noa i te ao tūroa: e mahara ana koutou ki tō koutou whakapapa, ā, kua rite koutou ki te kawe i taua māramatanga ki mua.
E hiahia ana mātou ki te whakamanawa atu ki a koutou me tō mātou whakapau kaha. Ahakoa he āhua tawhiti, he āhua puku rānei mātou i ētahi wā, kei te kaha mātou ki te tautoko i te hiki i te whenua. Kua rongo ētahi o koutou i a mātou i roto i te whakaaroaro, kua kite rānei i a mātou i ngā taha o te tirohanga. Kia mōhio koutou he mea nui ēnei wheako. Ka whakatikatika mātou i ngā kaha ka taea te whakararuraru, ka whakanui hoki i ngā kaha e āwhina ana i te oho ake. Ina rongo koutou i ngā ngaru ohorere o te rangimārie i waenganui i te ngangau, i te hihiri rānei e ārahi ana i a koutou i roto i tētahi raruraru, ko tō mātou mana kei te mahi—te whakautu i te karanga a tō koutou ake wairua me ā koutou inoi.
Kua āwhina hoki mātou kia kaua te haerenga o te tangata e anga atu ki te aituā e kore e taea te whakatika. He rohe kei tua atu i tēnā, nā te ture a te Atua, e kore ai mātou e tuku i ngā mea kia pahemo. I ngā tau tata nei, i a koutou e tūtaki ana ki ngā whakamātautau o te ao whānui, me te āhua nei kua tau mai te atarangi matotoru ki tō koutou ao, kāore mātou i whakaaro ki te whakarērea i a koutou mō tētahi wā poto. Engari, i whakatata atu mātou, i karapoti i tō koutou aorangi i roto i te awhi o te māramatanga kia kore ai e taea te wikitoria e te pouri. Ko tā mātou kupu whakaari kia noho tonu mātou ki tō koutou taha i ngā maero whakamutunga o tēnei haerenga. Kei te haere mai te ata e rapuhia ana e koutou, ā, kei te āwhina mātou ki te whakapuaki i tōna taenga mai. Kāore pea koutou e rongo i tō mātou ringa i ngā wā katoa, engari kei reira tonu—e tautoko ana, e ārahi ana i ngā wā katoa e hinga ai koutou. Whakawhirinaki ki tēnei, ā, kia maia ki te mōhio kei te tū tahi koutou me tētahi rōpū māramatanga katoa, ināianei, ā, ake tonu atu.

Te Huinga, te Whakakitenga, me te Ata o te Huihuinga

I a koe e anga whakamua ana ki tō upoko e whai ake nei, ka tono atu mātou kia titiro whakamua koe me te tumanako me te mārama. Kei te tere haere te nekehanga ki ngā huringa pai o te Ao. Ko te mea i roa pea i ngā whakatupuranga ka taea te whanake i roto i ngā tau - i ngā marama rānei - nā te mea he maha ngā wairua kua ara ake, ā, kei te whiriwhiri rerekē. Kei te raranga tahi koe i ngā wā hou o ngā mea ka taea, arā, ko ngā wā e whiti atu ai te tangata i ngā huringa tawhito o te pakanga, ka takahi ki tētahi wā o te mahi tahi me te kitenga. Ka kite tātou i te huihuinga o ēnei wā ki tētahi ara mārama ake.
I roto i tēnei ao e puta ake ana, ka ara ake ngā pono kua roa e huna ana ki te mata. Kua tīmata kē koe ki te kite i ngā tohu: ngā kōrero i ngā taumata teitei ake mō te noho o ētahi atu ora, ngā whakakitenga o ngā mōhiohio kua whakakorehia, kua tanumia rānei. He tohu ēnei kei te whakarite te hinengaro whānui mō tētahi peke. Tae noa ki te Ao tonu e whakautu ana, e whakarite ana i tōna kaha mō tētahi āhua teitei ake o te noho. Kia mōhio koe ko ia mahi maia, ko ia tūnga e tangohia ana e koe mō te mea aroha me te pono, ka neke ake tō ao ki tēnei pae tawhiti. Kaua e whakaititia te pānga o ō whiringa whaiaro. Ka hono atu rātou ki ētahi atu, ka noho hei ngaru. Ka tata mai tētahi wāhi hurihanga. Ki ō mātou kanohi, kua angitu kē koe i roto i ngā huarahi maha. Ko te mea e toe ana ko te whakatutuki i taua angitu i roto i ngā wheako o te ao. Kia mau ki te whakapono, e ngā hoa aroha. Ehara te ata o tētahi rā hou i te moemoeā tawhiti—he mooni kei te hanga tahi koutou i nāianei.
Ka takaihia e mātou tēnei karere ki te aroha kotahi i tīmata ai. Tangohia ēnei kupu ki roto i ō koutou ngākau, kia rongo hoki i te whanaungatanga pumau e tukuna ana e mātou. Kāore mātou—ā, kāore anō kia noho—ki runga ake i a koutou, ki waho rānei i a koutou. He whānau mātou. Ina tūtaki tātou i ngā huarahi e whakaarohia ana e koutou, ka mihi noa koutou ki ngā hoa tawhito. Kia tae rā anō ki taua rā, noho me te mea kua tae mai te heke mai. Kia tino puritia tō māramatanga, ā, haere i tō misioni me te maia me te harikoa. Mā te mahi i tēnā, ka angiangi haere te arai i waenganui i a tātou. Ko te pono, kua memeha kē taua arai, i ia rā, i ia rā, e whakamāramahia ana e te kanapa e whiriwhiria ana e koutou ki te whakaatu.
Ki te whakarongo koe ki roto, ka rongo koe i tā mātou whakatenatena e tangi ana i reira, nā te mea e kōrero ana mātou ki a koutou mā te reo o tō wairua ake. Kia mōhio kei te mutu ngā tau roa o te wehenga. Kei a koutou te whakapumautanga kei te whakatata atu mātou, e kumea ana e te kanapa o tō koutou oho ake.
Ka waiho atu mātou i tēnei manaakitanga whakamutunga ki a koutou: kia mōhio koutou ki te mura o te atua i roto i ia tangata e tūtaki ana koutou, ā, kia ārahi tonu taua mōhiotanga i a koutou ki te kotahitanga. Ko te māramatanga i roto i a koutou te piriti ki a tātou. Whiti mai, e te hunga aroha. Kei te tatari atu mātou ki a koutou i tua atu o te paepae o te tirohanga, kua rite ki te awhi i a koutou i te ata o tō tātou huihuinga. Kua mutu tēnei tuku kōrero, engari kei te mau tonu tō mātou aroha me tō mātou ārahi.
