"In circumstances of life and death, the chances of living are three out of ten, the chances of dying are three out of ten. In ordinary conditions, where activity is the province of death, the chances are also three out in ten. Why is this so? Because of the propagative force of the life principle. It is said that those who cultivate the life principle can travel without encountering a tiger or wild buffalo. In battle, no weapon can penetrate their armour. The wild buffalo's horns find nothing to gore, the tigers claws nothing to flay, and weapons find no place for their points to penetrate. Why is this so? Because for them, there is no province of death."
