“- لماذا علينا أن نصغي إلى قلوبنا ؟

- لأنه حيث يكون قلبك يكون كنزك.

- قلبي خائن ـ قال الشاب للخيميائي ـ إنه لا يريد لي أن أتابع طريقي.

أجاب الخيميائي:
- هذا جيّد، فهذا برهان على أن قلبك يحيا، وإنه لشيء طبيعي أن تخاف مبادلة كل مانجحت في الحصول عليه من قبل مقابل حلم.

- إذن لماذا عليّ أن أصغي إلى قلبي؟

- لأنك لن تتوصل أبداً إلى إسكاته، حتى لو تظاهرت بعدم سماع ما يقوله لك، سيبقى هنا في صدرك، ولن ينقطع عن ترديد مايفكّر به حول الحياة والكون.

- حتى وهو خائن.

- الخيانة هي الضربة التي لا تتوقعها، وإن كنتَ تعرف قلبك جيّداً، فإنه لن يستطيع مباغتتك على حين غرّة، لأنك ستعرف أحلامه، ورغباته وستعرف كيف تتحسب لها، لا أحد يستطيع التنكّر لقلبه، ولهذا يكون من الأفضل سماع ما يقول كي لا يوجه لك ضربة لم تكن تتوقعها أبداً.”

“For those who are not frightened by the solitude, everything will have a different taste.

In solitude, they will discover the love that might otherwise arrive unnoticed.

In solitude, they will understand and respect the love that left them.

In solitude, they will be able to decide whether it is worth asking that lost love to come back or if they should simply let it go and set off along a new path.

In solitude, they will learn that saying ‘No’ does not always show a lack of generosity and that saying ‘Yes’ is not always a virtue.

And those who are alone at this moment, need never be frightened by the words of the devil: ‘You’re wasting your time.’

Or by the chief demon’s even more potent words: ‘No one cares about you.’

The Divine Energy is listening to us when we speak to other people, but also when we are still and silent and able to accept solitude as a blessing.

And when we achieve that harmony, we receive more than we asked for.”
― Paulo Coelho, Manuscript Found in Accra
