2nd place “birds care not for whom they sing” – Silent One The Sun cares not for whom it rises; Wind cares not for whom it blows! Stars care not for whom they shine; Rivers care not for whom they flow! Trees care not for whom they bear fruit; Flowers care not for whom they bloom! In giving alone, they find their pleasure; Our wisdom lies in enjoying them at leisure! While giving birth to their children, Do mothers expect anything in return? Do agreements and contracts hold good, For performing our duties naturally well? Doing things and expecting something from others, lands you in big trouble! Expectations, like mirages, are illusions; The harder you try to reach them, The longer they move away from you!! To be free from the bondage of karma, Act without desire for the fruits of action! This is what every religion does tell us!!
