As a man can drink water from any side of a full tank, so the skilled theologian can wrest from any scripture that which will serve his purpose.
For certain is death for the born And certain is birth for the dead; Therefore over the inevitable Thou shouldst not grieve.
On action alone be thy interest, Never on its fruits. Let not the fruits of action be thy motive, Nor be thy attachment to inaction.
For that which is born death is certain, and for the dead birth is certain. Therefore grieve not over that which is unavoidable.
