Quote by Javid Ahmad Tak

“Rae’s thoughts and hope He preached, he prayed, in a place, in a congregation, He possessed an extraordinary imagination, A charm that mesmerised all, made him a believable preacher, But after prayers, the preacher never returned and so did not the holy teacher, Because what he appeared in these holy sessions was a false projection of him, Behind his conscience and veil of charm was hidden an abominable world grim, Like in all of us, he too was a host to a resident beast, Who regularly on his fancies and endless wishes did feast, He had resolved to taming the congregation and not the beast he was constantly feeding, Within him, with a renewed virility, new forms of evil were breeding, As the congregation left and he eased his hands held in prayer, He frantically shook them to get rid of the evil layer, That he recognised but never wanted to let go, Maybe that is why the priest that stood here was forsaken by his priestly conscience long ago, So after every prayer, the preacher never returned, just a man with the beast did, And then behind the morbidity of thoughts and endless fantasies this man hid, To feed the beast in million ways, In those vacant hours of nights and endless days, Because after the prayers the preacher never returned, only his beast affiliated part faced everyone, As he fed himself on diabolic thoughts and vile imaginations of always someone, a new one, And this is how the preacher lived until his last day, He was still the same and he had decided not to change anyway, And when Lucifer claimed his soul, he was confused too, Because the beast in him was there so was the preacher too, It was difficult to tell them apart, And neither of them alone wanted to depart, They had fused into one and Lucifer gave them a puzzled look, Then he looked inside himself and he was completely shaken, and the ground under his feet shook, The beast had already claimed his soul unaware that he is the God of Hell, the creator of all abomination, So he cast the beast back into the preacher and now they live in this immortal curse of incarceration, Where the preacher feels imprisoned by the beast and beast feels imprisoned by the preacher, Because after knowing the soul of Lucifer the beast had become lot meaner, Thus began the preacher’s never ending curse, He does not die, although he longs for it and keeps staring at the hearse, Because Lucifer did not want a greater God in his own kingdom, Now preacher is the victim of his own knowledge of evil and his wretched wisdom, The congregation is free, because they have learned to establish direct communion with the God, And now they don’t have to deal with the preacher who always after prayers acted diabolically and in ways odd.”

“Vacant yet hopeful The windows are closed, The room is lit with sunshine and many wishes proposed and unproposed, There in the vacant room where no one lives, You can feel something that mind denies and only the heart believes, Something unseen that sweeps across the walls, Walls from where the sunlight night’s shadows uninstalls, Shadows that do not leave the room and occupy dark corners of this vacant room, Almost like the dark irony of the shadow cast by the most beautiful flower in bloom, And as the sun is forced to retire by the advancing darkness, The shadows rise and hang on the walls with a defiant steadiness, Then they begin to crawl to and fro, here and there, until they are everywhere, And the vacant room is now occupied by its resident darkness that springs from somewhere, Maybe it is just an imagination, because nights are dark and days are either bright or sunny, There could be reasons many, and explanations as many, So, I decide to occupy the vacant room and challenge its shadows, There in the shadows, I found trapped moments of time, that the room from somewhere borrows, From past, from moments that long ago ceased to exist, So, I opened the windows and the shadows fell, and they no longer did about anything insist, Because the touch of sunlight had allowed the hope to enter, And now, the once dark room, the room of sorrows, is the hope’s main center, Where I often enter to think of her, and my past, And now instead of dark shadows, her beautiful reflection on all walls I have cast, So, if you happen to visit the room, and you see her staring at you from every wall, It is a fused reflection of our love, all our feelings; and an open display of our romantic ball.”

“I am a person. I am not always happy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; sometimes I feel sad, sometimes I feel angry. Sometimes I see brokenness in the world and I feel like I'm dying inside because I want to fix it! I am a person. I am not continuously grateful for everything and everyone 100% of the time. Because sometimes, I don't feel grateful! Sometimes I feel betrayed, other times I feel deceived. Because I am a person. And I am tired of the schools of thought and the judgmental eyes that offer up their plates of useless opinion when I am not 100% floating up there in false pretenses of perfection. I do not want to be false. I want to be a person. And I want to feel and I want to think, and no, not everything in life is something to be grateful for; and no, not everything in the world is something to be happy about. I am a person. My face can do a lot of things aside from smiling. My face can look peaceful, it can look thoughtful, it can look Divine. I can frown and sometimes my eyebrows are scrunched up in the middle; that's because I'm thinking! I am a person. A person that is so much more than what popular opinion expects is the definition of perfection. But I AM perfect. I am perfect the very way that I am. And I would never want to be only what popular thought would expect of me. I am so much more than that.”

“En una sesión, el terapeuta del té verde trató de hipnotizarme. No lo logró, pero al menos me relajé y pude ver dentro de mi corazón un trozo enorme de granito negro. Supe entonces que mi tarea sería librarme de eso; tendría que picarlo en pedacitos, poco a poco. Para deshacerme de aquella oscura roca, además de la terapia y las caminatas en el bosque diáfano de tus cenizas, tomé clases de yoga y multipliqué las tranquilas sesiones de acupuntura con el doctor Shima, tanto por el beneficio de su ciencia, como por el de su presencia. Reposando en su camilla con agujas por todas partes, meditaba y me evadía a otras dimensiones. Te buscaba, hija. Pensaba en tu alma, atrapada en un cuerpo inmóvil durante aquel largo año de 1992. A veces sentía una garra en la garganta y apenas podía aspirar aire, o me agobiaba el peso de un saco de arena en el pecho y me sentía enterrada en un hoyo, pero pronto me acordaba de dirigir la respiración al sitio del dolor, con calma, como se supone que se debe hacer durante el parto, y de inmediato disminuía la angustia. Entonces visualizaba una escalera que me permitía salir del hoyo y subir a la claridad del día, al cielo abierto. El miedo es inevitable, debo aceptarlo, pero no puedo permitir que me paralice. Una vez dije -o escribí en alguna parte- que después de tu muerte ya no tengo miedo de nada, pero eso no es verdad, Paula. Temo perder o ver sufrir a las personas que amo, temo el deterioro de la vejez, temo la creciente pobreza, violencia y corrupción en el mundo. En estos años sin ti he aprendido a manejar la tristeza, a hacerla mi aliada. Poco a poco tu ausencia y otras pérdidas de mi vida sevan convirtiendo en una dulce nostalgia. Eso es lo que pretendo en mi tambaleante práctica espiritual: deshacerme de los sentimientos negativos que impiden caminar con soltura. Quiero transformar la rabia en energía creativa y la culpa en una burlona aceptación de mis fallas; quiero barrer hacia fuera la arrogancia y la vanidad. No me hago ilusiones, nunca alcanzaré el desprendimiento absoluto, la auténtica compasión o el estado de éxtasis de los iluminados, parece que no tengo huesos de santa, pero puedo aspirar a las migas: menos ataduras, algo de cariño hacia los demás, la alegría de una conciencia limpia.”

“Es posible que en el fondo Okonkwo no fuera cruel. Pero toda su vida estaba dominada por el temor, el temor al fracaso y a la debilidad. Era algo más profundo y más íntimo que el temor a los dioses malignos y caprichosos y a la magia, que el temor a la selva y a las fuerzas de la naturaleza, malévolas, de dientes y garras rojos. Los temores de Okonkwo eran peores que todo eso. No eran externos, sino que yacían en lo más hondo de su ser.”

“—Tienes que saber que yo siempre estoy confuso. No fui ni escribí porque quería apartarme de ti sin quererlo. Tú no lo entendías. Querías hacerme volver por todos los medios y yo tenía un miedo terrible. Te sentía a ti cuando intentaba dormirme en casa del médico. Me obsesionabas. Yo sabía que algo iba mal, pero no podía decir el qué. Así que me dediqué a pensar que eras tú.”

“He notado que a veces inspiro temor. Pero lo que cada uno teme es a sí mismo. Creen que yo soy la causa de sus preocupaciones, mas lo que en realidad los asusta es el enano que llevan dentro, la caricatura humana de rostro simiesco que suele asomar la cabeza desde las profundidades del alma. Se asustan porque ignoran que llevan otro ser dentro de ellos mismos. Les espanta ver surgir a la superficie ese desconocido que les parece no tener nada de común con su verdadera vida: Cuando nada aparece por encima de esos bajos fondos, entonces ni se asustan ni se inquietan por lo que pueda suceder. Andan con la cabeza levantada, impasibles, con sus rostros inexpresivos. Pero hay siempre en ellos alguna otra cosa que fingen ignorar; viven, sin saberlo, muchas vidas a la vez. Son singularmente recelosos e incoherentes. Y son deformes, aun cuando esto no sea visible”
