Sanskrit Wisdom - 53

Kaaryaarthi bhajate lokam yaavatkaaryam na siddhati |
uttirNa cha pare paare naukaayaam kim prayojanam ||

kayaa-qaI- Bajato laaokma\ yaava%kaya-M na isad\Qait a
Au%tINao- ca pro paro naaOkayaama\ ikM p`yaaojanama\ aa

Explanation
One who wants to get something done by another pampers him/her only till the work is being done [after the work is done, that person will not be needed] just as you have no use for the boat once you have crossed the river.
