Let $P$ be a point in the interior of a triangle $ABC$ and let the rays $\overrightarrow{AP}, \overrightarrow{BP}$ and $\overrightarrow{CP}$ intersect the sides $BC, CA$ and $AB$ in $A_1,B_1$ and $C_1$, respectively. Let $D$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $A_1$ to $B_1C_1$. Show that \[\frac{CD}{BD}=\frac{B_1C}{BC_1} \cdot \frac{C_1A}{AB_1}.\]
