“Cuando cruzamos el puente examiné la inscripción de Shigeru me había leído en su día: "El clan Otori da la bienvenida a los justos y los leales. Que los injustos y los desleales sean precavidos". "Los injustos y desleales". Como yo. Desleal a Shigeru, quien me había legado sus tierras; tan injusto como los miembros de la tribu, injusto y cruel.”

“Celebrate the festival in a joyous way, prepare yourself for Eid In a heartwarming, special way Stems not made of weft, Nor designed to show off. Wear the garments of kindness, Woven from love, never to take off Use the fragrance that's rich with care Scent yourself with the perfume of love and spread it everywhere. Let your words and actions be soft as a breeze, Be aware they cause no hurt, no unease Keep kindness sweet upon your tongue And share it with the world, old or young The only action of affection that's right, Open your arms wide, hug everyone tight Ego, anger, and superiority— Release them, set your spirit free in all To friends, to relatives, to strangers, gift Beautiful feelings to all Celebrate the festival in a joyous way, prepare yourself for Eid In a heartwarming, special way prepare yourself for Eid In a heartwarming, special way © 2019 Mohammed zaki ansari”

“Merhem-e Manavta (Sufi Sonnet) Where there is no muslim, non-muslim - where there is no believer, non-believer - where all distances are conquered by heart, outgrowing myths one emerges Merhem-e Manavta. Compulsion of religion is a thing of the past, conversion of faith, trivial as changing clothes; mark of a holy being is not belief, but behavior - clothes, creed, all wither, not character's glow. Christian on Sunday, Atheist on Monday, Buddhist on Tuesday, Sikh on Wednesday, Hindu on Thursday, Muslim on Friday, Jewish on Saturday, try the rest the next day. Love speaks louder than faith, kindness speaks louder than scripture. Service is sanctity, my Eid al-Adha - tolerance is my azaan, my Eid al-Fitr.”

“India Beyond Saffron (Sanyasi Scientist Sonnet) Ananta (Eternity) knows no foreign-sanatan, either Hindutva or Human - saffron was never the color of India, India is the most spectacular rainbow among the ancient of civilizations. There is not one but two India, Animal India and Human India - Animal India carries Gita like Gun, Human India celebrates Diwali, breaks bread on Iftar, and sings Merry Christmas, with Gurbani. An Indian is pluralism personified, take away pluralism, and you're left with a monkey draped in saffron.”
