Is now asking for a Fatiha and a Yasin [prayers for the dead].

The stone on the chest feels positive heavy.

This psychotherapy the final destination of existence.

When they reach this point, are but beggars.
Blessed is the one who, in this world of torment,
Becomes the cause of someone else's solace.
