Between Birth and Death
Three in Ten Are Followers Of Life.

Three in Ten Are Followers of Death
And Men Just Passing From Birth to Death,
Also Number Three In Ten.

Why Is This So?
Because They Live Their Life On
The Gross Level.

He Who Knows How To Live Can Walk
Abroad Without Fear Of Rhinoceros or Tiger.

He Will Not Be Wounded In Battle.
For In Him Rhinoceroses Can Find No Place
To Thrust Their Horns.

Tigers No Place to Use Their Claws.
And Weapons No Place To Enter.

Why Is This So?
Because He Has No Place For Death
To Enter.
