Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, ‘You owe me.’ Look what happens with a love like that. It lights up the whole sky. – Hafez

Hafez is one of the most celebrated of poets in Iran.

A Day by Emily Dickinson

I ‘ll tell you how the sun rose,
A ribbon at a time.
The steeples swam in amethyst,
The news like squirrels ran.
The hills untied their bonnets,
The bobolinks¹ begun.
Then I said softly to myself,
“That must have been the sun!”
But how he set, I know not.
There seemed a purple stile
Which little yellow boys and girls
Were climbing all the while
Till when they reached the other side,
A dominie in gray²
Put gently up the evening bars,
And led the flock away.

According to the Bhagwad Gita, Lord Krishna first spoke to the Sun God Vivasvan. The Sun God is the king of the planets and rules the sun planet which is controlling all other planets by supplying heat and light. Therefore, we worship and adore Surya Devata.

¹ Bobolink is a north American song bird, which begin singing on the rising of the sun and the approaching of a new day.

² Dominie in gray means God and the flock means human beings. Emily Dickinson believes God leads human beings wherever after they die.
