How to Survive

"We go from birth to death. Three out of ten follow life. Three out of ten follow death. People who rush from birth to death Are also three out of ten. Why is that so? Because they want to make too much of life. I have heard that the one who knows how to live Can wander through the land Without encountering the rhinoceros or the tiger. He passes the battlefield Without being struck by weapons. In him, the rhinoceros finds no opening for its horn. The tiger finds no opening for its claws. The soldiers find no opening for their blades. Why is that so? Death has no place in him."
