"Two things are impossible in this world of Maya: to enjoy more than Karma hath allotted; to die before one's hour hath struck. ... Without Karma, no fisherman could catch a fish; outside of Karma, no fish would die on dry land, or in boiling water. ... Man walks on, and Karma follows him along with his shadow. (February) ... Like as the night follows the day, so misfortune is the shadow of joy; Karma bestowing her lots with both hands. (May)"
