Question

In a previous question someone asked, "Could you enlighten me on the question of death?"
You answered, "Zazen practice is to be in the unborn and the non-death.
You will live eternally if you forget aboutdeath!" Please tell me. Who lives eternally? Who forgets about death?
Who were you before you were born? Who forgot about death before their birth? Who baits the fish hook, and who bites the worm? Who drags around a dead corpse all these years?
