Chapter 50

Give yourself up to whatever the moment brings. Know that eventually you are going to die, that there is nothing left to hold on to: no illusions in the mind, no resistances in the body. Don't think about about your actions; they flow from the core of your being. Hold nothing back from life; thus you are ready for death, as one is ready for sleep after a good day's work. Merge with the unceasing life-producing activity. One who knows how to nourish life has no place for death, is immortal, immune to life-threatening fears. On the road, in the wilds, on the battlefield, you will not experience any danger. A wild buffalo has nowhere to butt its horns. A tiger has nowhere to sink its claws. A weapon has nowhere to enter its blade. There is no room for death in you.
