1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 11 - Viswarupa Darsana Yoga - Sloka 28

Naimisaranyam

Yatha nadinam bahavah ambu vegah samudram eva abhi sukhah dravanti I

Tatha tava ami nara loka veerah vishanti vaktrani  abhivi jwalanti II sloka 28

यथा नदीनां बहवः अम्बु वेगः समुद्रम् एव अभि सुखः द्रवन्ति I

तथा तव अमि नर लोक  वीराः विशन्ति वक्त्राणि अभिवि ज्वलन्ति II श्लोक 28

Truly, as the many torrents of rivers rush towards the ocean, so do these heroes in the world fling themselves into your fiercely flaming nostrils.

The rivers that emerge from mountains have no alternative but to rush to empty themselves in the ocean. The rulers of the earth plan for their permanent domination over it while actually they are caught in the death trap of destiny. While being consumed they are planning for conquest.
