    किं भेदं समुपैति कुंजरपतेर्मानोन्नता भ्रूलता ॥

Let the jackals taking shelter on either sides of the elephant do their harshest noises. Let the crows on top create havoc. The elephant sees the path it wants to go with its half closed eyes and puts one step on another being least bothered about the distractions. It will not even break its eyebrows. Such is the concentration and steadiness of virtuous men.

What is the bonding between clouds and a peacock that makes it dance every time a dark could passes by? What is the source of love between the moon and chakora bird? Why does the moth circle around flames and finally die with it? All these beings are strung together by providence to things that they do.
