“In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest
where no-one sees you, but
sometimes I do, and
that sight becomes this art.”
― Rumi

how to be good?

In Twilight Watch, Sergei Lukyanenko's third book of the Night Watch Trilogy, Gesar, Head of the Moscow Night Watch tells Anton Gorodetsky - disillusioned field operative - why he chose the Light over the Dark:

'Preserve the part of you that is still human. Avoid falling into ecstatic raptures and trying to impose the Light on people when they don't want it. Avoid relapsing into contemptous cynicism, imagining that you are pure and perfect.

That's the hardest thing of all - never to become cynical, never to lose faith, never to become indifferent'

Maybe, just maybe, the BJP and Al Qaeda and the greedy TV evangelists should have a look at this allegoric work of fantasy
