Men flow into life and
ebb into death
This is quite true
It is also true that
Some are filled with
life
Some are empty with
death
Even though they remain
upright and breathing
Those who are filled
with life
Need not fear the wild tigers
or rhino
Nor have a need to
Wear armor in battle
For the rhinoceros finds
no place in them for its horn
The tiger no place for
its claw
The soldier no place for
a weapon
For death finds no place
in them
So many people fear
death
It is because vast
majority of humanity
Draws a line between
life and death
They do not see it as
one and same
The person who is at one
with all things
Can go anywhere without
fear of death hanging over them
Why is there fear over
something so natural?
Life is the honorable
mother of death
Without life, there can
be no death.
