外論曰。夫等無生滅其理則均。導世引凡不無差異。但生者物之所以欣。滅者物之所以惡。然則生道難得必俟修功。滅法易求詎勞稟學。是知騰神駕景。自可積劫身存。氣盡形殂。固當一時神逝。此教門之殊二也。

The Outsiders' treatise says: As for being equally free from arising and cessation, their principles are identical; yet in guiding the world and leading the ordinary, they are not without difference. However, life is what creatures delight in, and death is what creatures loathe. Thus the Dao of life is difficult to attain and must await the cultivation of merit, whereas the method of cessation is easy to seek—why should it require toilsome study? Therefore we know that by ascending with the spirit and riding the sun's rays, one can preserve one's body for accumulated kalpas; when the breath is exhausted and the form perishes, the spirit naturally departs in a single moment. This is the second distinction in the teachings.
