Do Karma, Renounce Still Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Fuller the glass,
Faster shall it spill;
Sharper the knife,
Sooner wears off its will;
The more ye fulfilled feel,
Lesser would the heart feel.

Do your work,
Step back still,
Tao Te Ching had once said.
Indic Books of BC era had:
Do karma, renounce still,
But we still from work shirk.
