I derive inspiration from DVG's Mankutimmana Kagga. One of the Kagga which stands out for me is
ಇಳೆಯಿಂದ ಮೊಳಕೆಯೊಗವಂದು ತಮಟೆಗಳಿಲ್ಲ ।
ಫಲ ಮಾಗುವಂದು ತುತ್ತೂರಿ ದನಿಯಿಲ್ಲ ॥
ಬೆಳಕೀವ ಸೂರ್ಯಚಂದ್ರರದೊಂದು ಸದ್ದಿಲ್ಲ ।
ಹೊಲಿ ನಿನ್ನ ತುಟಿಗಳನು - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ॥
There are no drum beats when a sprout rises out of the earth.
No trumpets when fruits ripe.
The Sun and the Moon shine silently.
Stitch your lips!
We are always in a hurry to show off (mistaken for accomplishment!). The most prominent and most important things in the Universe go on without any pomp..,
Sprounting, Ripening of Fruits, and even the Sun and Moon work quietly but eternally!
This is also a reminder about doing work that we are meant to do...Keep doing your work irrespective of whether it is being noticed or not...and without showing it off!
