Excerpt from book Discourse On Chuang Tzu / Chapter 19 Attaining the Reality of Life
If a drunk tumbles out of his carriage, even if it is going very fast he will not die. His joints and bones are as same as those of all other men, yet he does not suffer injury as they would, since his Shen remains whole. Oblivious to the fact that he was riding in the carriage, and oblivious to the fact that he had tumbled out of it, life and death, fear and concern do not enter his breast. Therefore, he runs no risk of harming himself when he stumbles and crashes into things. If wine can keep him whole in this way, how much more can heaven keep him whole! The sage hides himself in heaven, thus nothing can cause him any harm.
夫醉者之坠车，虽疾不死。骨节与人同而犯害与人异，其神全也，乘亦不知也，坠亦不知也，死生惊惧不入乎其胸中，是故迕物而不慴。彼得全于酒而犹若是，而况得全于天乎？圣人藏于天，故莫之能伤也。
