"Do not expect the fruit of action"* But be on guard for its reaction! (Expounds Lord Krishna in Bhagvat Gita)

Day man is born, creator's job's over- Hell with Brahma*, who cares for him thereafter? (* Hindus believe, Brahma the first of the Trinity is the creator. Strangely, He is not worshipped widely as only two temples are dedicated to Him.)

I can't say: "miles to go before I sleep", Because the last sleep is not in my grip.

Behold, if somebody is nobody, nobody respects; Anybody is anybody, anybody respects.

In this universe of eternal darkness, Sunshine, at times, brings momentary brightness.

Better be fragrant flower ephemeral Than living millennia as granite idol.
