    Such a deep and meaningful soundbite. I found it interesting that 17 words in hindi translate into just eight words in english. Perhaps a person without "inner glory" feels lifeless and therefore like the ashes we are reduced to after death? Or perhaps a person without glory doesn't glow by being illuminated by the light and is therefore in the dark?

    It's nice to read a language not native to me and to find the literal translation.
