## Chapter 8: The Twelvefold Contemplation of the Right View
**Verse 695:**
Neither horses, elephants, chariots, human strength, vehicles, mantras, medicines, knowledge, nor cunning strategies, nor even one's own family can provide refuge when death approaches.
**Verse 696:**
In this world, filled with birth, old age, and death, there is no refuge except the Jina's teachings. The Jina's teachings alone can liberate us from the great enemies of old age and death.
**Verse 697:**
When death approaches, even the gods, including Indra, cannot save us. Consider the Jina's teachings as your refuge, your protection, and your path.
**Now, let us discuss the contemplation of oneness:**
One who sees the self, the non-self, and the middle ground as one, is truly liberated.
