Physical Body Does Not Die

There is no death physical body but there is life-death cycle. There is no part of this journey of the tree from its appearance to its disappearance, that you could call life without as appropriately and truthfully calling it death. Nor is there a part of it that you could call its beginning or its end. Nor is the fulcrum which the tree used to extend itself into a tree any different from the fulcrum you use to extend yourself into a man. Nor are you freed from your roots underground because you can walk away from them, for you are as much bound to them as the tree is.
