“Sonnet of Chemical Reality

The universe is our reflection,
We are the reflection of the universe.
What is inside is also outside,
What is outside is also inside of us.
No reality exists without human control,
Reality outside our control is imagination.
Mental chemicals produce all reality,
All can be altered with mindful action.
Mind is mightier than muscle,
Kindness is braver than cruelty.
All reform is born of mental chemicals,
Reform yourself and there'll be universality.
Truth beyond perception is futile speculation.
Let's focus on life and improve human condition.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Generation Corazon: Nationalism is Terrorism

“Sonnet of People (The Sonnet)

All is well when there's people with us,
Without ‘em life is sugarcane without sugar,
All is meaningful when there's people with us,
Without ‘em life is a painting without color.
People are the blood in my veins,
I can breathe without oxygen but not people,
Thus speaks the being called human,
Thus lives the sapiens who's brave and noble.
Community means compatriot unity,
Unity means undivided amity,
Amity means affectionate sanity,
Sanity means serene humanity.
Now one ponders the meaning of humanity.
It means humble and affectionate for eternity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Generation Corazon: Nationalism is Terrorism

“Discard anything that makes you narrow, discard anything that separates you from people, discard anything that impairs your growth. Discard traditions that make you narrow, discard scriptures that make you narrow, discard heritage that makes you narrow, discard culture that makes you narrow, discard constitutions, policies and governments that make you narrow. Expansion is the watchword of life, nay, expansion is life, narrowness is death.”

“Beyond Red and Blue (The Sonnet)

I don't wanna rule no one,
Nor do I wanna prove them wrong.
I don't wanna convert no one,
Nor do I wanna sing the woke song.
My work is with the whole humanity,
No person must be left behind.
Either I'll take them all forward,
Or I'll perish while fixing the great divide.
I don't fathom the red and blue,
You can't make a rainbow with two colors.
If you are really kind and conscientious,
On its own bigotry disappears.
We must rise above all party politika,
Only then will we be the soul of America.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Generation Corazon: Nationalism is Terrorism

“Character makes the person, not pedigree and tradition.”

“Not Woke, Only Accountable (A Sonnet)

I am no teacher but only lover,
I know no philosophy but amity.
I am no writer but only revolution,
I know no politics but serenity.
I am no thinker but only soldier,
I know no science but ascension.
I am no authority but only service,
I know no poetry but inclusion.
I am no humanist but only human,
I know no ideology but oneness.
I am no woke but only accountable,
I know no paradise but acceptance.
Taint not the mind with a puny label.
We are beautiful when we are indivisible.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Generation Corazon: Nationalism is Terrorism

“Sufi Sonett

För din uppstigning blev jag en älskare,
För dina rättigheter blev jag en revolution.
Fråga mig inte vem jag är,
Titta i mina ögon så ser du din reflektion.
Vår värld är en ny värld,
Själen i denna värld är samvete.
Utan samvete är vi alla djur,
Gå framåt, o samvetsgrann med tapperhet.
Det finns ingen annan religion än kärlek,
Mänskligheten är den största nationaliteten.
Människolivet är en berättelse om vänlighet,
Annars, vad är poängen!
Vi är hjältar när vi är tillsammans.
Vi bor tillsammans och vi dör tillsammans.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Generation Corazon: Nationalism is Terrorism

“Sufi Şiir

Senin ilerlemen için ben aşık oldum,
Senin haklarınız için ben savaşçı oldum.
Sorma canım benim ben kimim,
Gözlerime bak, ben senin yansıman oldum.
Bizim dünyamız yeni bir dünya,
Bu dünyanın ruhu vicdandır.
Vicdan olmadan hepimiz canavariz,
Vicdanla yürü cesur insanlar.
Aşktan başka din yoktur,
İnsanlıktan başka milliyet yok.
İnsan hayati bir merhamet hikayesidir,
Yoksa, bizim hayatımız hayat yok.
Birlikte olduğumuzda biz kahramanlarız,
Birlikte yaşayacağız ve birlikte öleceğiz.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Generation Corazon: Nationalism is Terrorism

“Sonnet of Identity

Tell me O Mississippi,
What is my name?
For I lost my sense of self,
In line of service without gain.
Dear mountains of Blue Ridge,
Where did I come from?
I fathom not the worldly titles,
I deny narrowness as the norm.
Character makes the person,
Not pedigree and tradition.
If I can lift even five lives,
That’ll be my highest salvation.
So forget that I asked about my identity.
Service is my culture and my nationality.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Generation Corazon: Nationalism is Terrorism

“El Soneto Sufí

Por tu ascension me converti en amante,
Por tus derechos me converti en revolución.
No me preguntes quien soy,
Mírame a los ojos y encontrarás tu reflejo.
Nuestro mundo es un mundo nuevo,
El alma de este mundo es la conciencia.
¡Sin conciencia todos somos animales,
Marcha Adelante, oh concienzudo, con Valentia!
No hay otra religion que el amor,
No hay otra nacionalidad que la humanidad.
La historia del ser humano es una historia de bondad,
Si no, la vida es una absoluta futilidad.
Somos heroes cuando estamos unidos,
Unidos por siempre, ya sea vivos o muertos.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Generation Corazon: Nationalism is Terrorism
