The position of high-minded people - Bhratrihari's Neeti Shatak

            Kusumastavakasyeva dvayi vrittir manasvinah 
            Moordhni va sarv lokasya sheeryate van eva va  
                            (Neeti Shatak by Bhratrihari Shlok 33)

                             English Translation 
The position of the high-minded is twofold like the set of flowers. 
The blossomed flowers either become coronation over people's heads - or wither away in a forest.

Similarly, the condition of wise and thoughtful people is also of two types in this world.
Like flowers, they either become the representative and head of the people 
Or they end up spending their life in seclusion like the flowers of the forest.
