Rumi

Between birth and death
Three in ten are following life;
Three in ten are following death;
And men just passing from birth to death also number three in ten.
Why is this so?
Because they live their lives on the gross level.
He who knows how to live can walk abroad without fear of rhinocerous or
tiger.
He will not be wounded in battle.
For in him rhinoceroses can find no place to thrust their horn, tigers can
find no place to use their claws, and weapons no place to pierce.
Why is this so?
Because he has no place for death to enter.
