Nō te tau 1935, i tawai a Albert Einstein i tētahi o ngā kitenga tino hōhonu i te ao ahupūngao, me te whakahē i taua mea hei "mahi whakahīhī i tawhiti." I tohe ia ki te whakaae ka taea e ngā matūriki e rua, he piriona tau marama te tawhiti, te kōrero inamata.
I he a Einstein.
Engari i ngā rau tau i mua i te kī a te pūtaiao o Te Hauāuru e hono kore e kitea, kore hoki e taea te whakakore te ao, kua mau kē i ngā kaiwhakatere taketake o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa tētahi anga mō tēnei āhuatanga. Kāore rātou i hiahia ki te whakaterenga matūriki kia mārama ai ki te kore-wāhi; i mārama rātou ki te Tikanga.
I ēnei rā, kei te ngoikore ā tātou pūnaha kāwanatanga ao whānui nō te mea kei te whakahaere i runga i tētahi pūnaha whakahaere tawhito, tino hē. Kei te whakahaere tātou i ō tātou iwi, kei te hanga i ō tātou ōhanga, kei te whakamahi rawa hoki i ō tātou rauwiringa kaiao i runga i te pohehe o te wehewehenga. Kua tae te wā mō te whakahou i te hinengaro.
Anei te take he aha te hono i ngā tikanga o te ahupūngao kuanti me te mātauranga taketake o Te Ao Māori ka puta ko te hoahoa mutunga mō te manawa tōroa o te pūnaha.
Te Ahupūngao o te Hononga: Kei Tua atu i te "Mahi Whakahīhī"
I roto i te aunoa kuanti, he kaupapa kua whakamatauria e kīia ana he rarangahia. Ina tūhonotia ngā matūriki e rua, ka piri tahi rāua. Ki te hurihia te hurihanga o tētahi matūriki, ka huri inamata tōna takirua kia rite ai—ahakoa te tawhiti ā-tinana i waenga i a rāua.
E whakangaro ana tēnei mooni pāngarau i te whakaaro tawhito o te "tino pono ā-rohe"—te pohehe e noho mokemoke ana ngā hinonga, ā, ka pā noa e ō rātou taiao tonu, ā-tinana. Kāore te ao i te mīhini i hangaia mai i ngā wāhanga wehewehe, matūriki. He pae tukutuku kotahi, kāore i wehea, e manawa ana, o ngā hononga.
Ko ia mahi, ko ia kaupapa here, me ia panonitanga i roto i tō tātou pūngao ao whānui ka horapa puta noa i te whatunga katoa. Kāore e taea e koe te paitini i tētahi awa me te kore e paitini i a koe; kāore e taea e koe te whakararu i tētahi mekameka tuku me te kore e whakatete i te hapori.
Tikanga Māori: Te Whakaaro Pūnaha Taketake
Mēnā ka hoatu e te aunoa kuanti te wetereo pūtaiao mō tēnei tūhonohono, ka hoatu e Te Ao Māori te pūmatua morare. I roto i tēnei tirohanga ao, ka māramahia te rarangahia pūnaha mā ngā ariā taketake e rua:
-
Whakapapa: He maha ngā wā ka whakaingoatia he kōrero whakapapa, engari he hōhonu kē atu te Whakapapa. Koia te pukapuka kaute a te ao e hono ana i te tangata ki te whenua, ki ngā awa, ki te āhuarangi, me ngā whetū. E mapi ana i tō tātou wāhi i te pae tukutuku.
-
Whanaungatanga: Koia te "kāpia" hononga, mahi hoki. Ahakoa ko ngā tauira whakahaere takitahi o Te Hauāuru e whai ana i ngā tāngata me ngā rawa hei taurangi takitahi hei whakahaere, e mōhio ana te Whanaungatanga ko te tuakiri, te angitu, me te ora ka whakawhirinaki katoa ki te katoa.
Ko te mea e kīia nei e ngā kaimātai ahupūngao he tūraranga kuanti—te pūngao pūmanawa kore e kitea i mua i te ine—e mōhio ana te Tikanga hei Mauri. Ko te Mauri te kaha ora e herea ana te ao, he pūngao ka taea te whakarei ake, te whakaheke rānei mā te ahua o tā tātou taunekeneke ki a ia.
Te Hurihanga ki tētahi Tauira Kore-tangata-pūmau
Ko te tono i ēnei mātāpono tūhonohono e hiahia ana kia tino whanaketia te āhua o tā tātou titiro ki te kaihautū. Ko te tauira o nāianei o te whakahaere ao whānui e hāngai ana ki te tangata (tangata-pūmau) he ngoikoretanga nui o te whakaaro.
Me whakahoki e tātou te koiora e noho ana i tēnei aorangi ki te ngakau o ā tātou tauira whakahaere.
Mēnā ka whakaae tātou ki te mooni o te rarangahia kuanti me te Whakapapa, me whakaae tātou he wāhanga noa te tangata o tētahi pūnaha nui, ora. Ko te manawa tōroa pūnaha tūturu e kōkiri ana kia kawea e tātou ngā momo matua ki te tēpu kāwanatanga. Ina arotakehia e tātou te whanaketanga ōhanga, te whakanui hangarau, te whakatinanatanga rānei o te mōhiohio horihori, kāore e taea te waiho te pānga ki ō tātou rauwiringa kaiao taketake hei whakaaro o muri—me koia te ine matua o te angitu.
Mai i te Tango ki te Kaitiakitanga
Kia ora ai i roto i tō tātou ara o nāianei, kāore tātou e hiahia noa ki te hangarau pai ake, ki ngā mākete pai ake rānei. E hiahia ana tātou ki te hurihanga taketake mai i te hoahoanga o te tango ki te hoahoanga o te Kaitiakitanga—te tiaki kaha, kore mutu, me te whakauru.
Ko te whakaaro Tikanga e akiaki ana i a tātou kia titiro ki tua atu i ngā hua ia toru marama me ngā huringa pōti, me te whakahau i ngā whakatau e whakahōnore ana i tō tātou pukapuka kaute o te ao. E hiahia ana ki tētahi tikanga whakahaere e whakaute ana i te Mauri o ngā mea ora katoa.
E whakamatau ana te aunoa kuanti ko tātou te ao e wheako ana i a ia anō. Ko te mātauranga taketake e hoatu ana ki a tātou te hoahoa mō te ahua ki te mahi pēnā. Kua tae te wā kia whakahōuhia e tātou tō tātou kāwanatanga kia ōrite ki te mooni.
