Aberration of a saintly figure in saffron robe, A voice reverberating the historic “Chicago Address”, revealing the secret of work in these words - “Helping a man spiritually is the greatest possible help”. My mind gradually building the stalactites and stalagmites of wisdom. The aberration slowly vanishing, serving as radar, guiding my pirate ship of thoughts, to surrender in the dock of honesty. Tears of repentance rolling down my cheeks. My arrow of a single glimpse of truth. The old owl of plagiarism flying away and away, flapping its wings. Satiated feeling my triumph, I went to sleep, when the clock struck one
