Reverence for Life
When fear and reverence are lost, harm follows. The sage respects life and honours the body without arrogance. By choosing humility over display, he lives with true reverence and clarity.
When people no longer fear
what is worthy of fear,
disaster descends.
Do not live
as if life were a burden.
Do not treat the body
as something cheap.
Honour your breath.
Value your being.
The sage sees clearly—
but does not flaunt.
He loves himself—
but holds no pride.
He chooses humility
over display,
substance
over show.
