THE FILLING OF VACUUM Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (A) On finding unwanted shrubs and wild weeds, thorny bushes, creepers and dense mimosa on my vast piece of unused land I cleaned and removed all those unwanted things with some wage-earners one day and left it behind in glee. After two years when I went there I found the place turned more dense with all those useless things gain; and this time I found countless scorpions, snakes, wasps, wild spiders, mosquitoes and centipedes. Then that man came and advised me not to leave the land unused and unyielded any longer, but to dig a well, plant and grow some profitable plants or till and sow some good useful seeds - to fill the vulnerable vacuum. (B) On finding my tenant quarrel and fight with my fond gentle neighbours I asked him to evict my house, which he did, at last, after quarrelling with me. And after his leaving I cleaned the room and left it vacant for over a year. One day, getting some nauseating smell from inside I opened the doors and windows - and, o God, I found the room filled with cobwebs and the carcass of a black cat, b-e-h-e-a-d-e-d, lying on the floor! Then that man came and purified all my house and the entire plot with his incantations weird, basil-leaves, incense and sprinkled waters to drive the evil spirit away; and finally, he advised me not to keep the room empty, vacant and unoccupied any longer, but to find and keep a better tenant there - to fill the vulnerable vacuum. (C) Today, Ive well learnt the art of filling the vacuum of my breast with light the moment dark is hurled out of it, that the mischievous gloom can never slip back therein - to conquer! - mandal bijoy beg ***
