“John, on your deathbed you will never wish you spent more time at the office.”
“गुरु को लिये कर्ण चिन्तन में था जब मग्न अचल बैठा, तभी एक विषकीट कहीं से आसन के नीचे पैठा। वज्रदंष्ट्र वह लगा कर्ण के उरु को कुतर-कुतर खाने, और बनाकर छिद्र मांस में मन्द-मन्द भीतर जाने। कर्ण विकल हो उठा, दुष्ट भौंरे पर हाथ धरे कैसे, बिना हिलाये अंग, कीट को किसी तरह पकड़े कैसे? पर, भीतर उस धँसे कीट तक हाथ नहीं जा सकता थ़ा, बिना उठाये पाँव शत्रु को कर्ण नहीं पा सकता था। किन्तु, पाँव के हिलते ही गुरुवर की नींद उचट जाती, सहम गयी यह सोच कर्ण की भक्ति-पूर्ण विह्वल छाती। सोचा उसने, अतः, कीट यह पिये रक्त, पीने दूँगा, गुरु की कच्ची नींद तोड़ने का, पर, पाप नहीं लूँगा।”
