“Good Little Gods (The Sonnet)

A good person once said, to turn the other cheek.
I ain't him, I don't approve of his kind of naivety.
Hurt me all you want, I may still keep quiet but,
Lay a finger on my loved ones, 'n you are history.
Someone once ordered, sacrifice your child for me,
And a spineless patriarch rushed to obey it all.
If god commands to slaughter someone I love,
That stoneage nitwit will return without his balls.
Someone said, strike your partner if she denies coitus,
To which countless bugs still remain obedient.
I ask that moron of a god to come 'n say it to me,
And he won't be left man enough to even get a head.
Humankind ain't no slave to no prehistoric lords.
We may spare them only if they're good little gods.”

“Expansion or Extinction

Identity is selfishness, heritage is selfishness, culture is selfishness, that is, the way these constructs have been sustained in society all this time.

All this time things have been going on like this - my identity versus all others - my heritage versus all others - my culture versus all others. And such behavior has only fostered a paradigm of division.

This must change - from division to unison. And how will it happen? We gotta perform a complete overhaul of notions of identity, heritage and culture. We gotta turn each of them from a prison into a path. In simple terms, we gotta humanize them all - we gotta make them more about people than anything else - more about the people of the present and future than those of the past.

We gotta make them about life, not habits, beliefs and rituals. One may wonder, aren't habits, beliefs and rituals also life!

No they ain't - they are part of life, a microscopic part at that, but not life itself. So first and foremost, feel, think and walk past habits, beliefs and rituals, of your ancestors as well as your own.

Expansion, expansion, expansion - only way forward is expansion. If you are afraid that your ancestors would be offended at your expansion, then let me tell you this. It's better to have no ancestor than to have one offended at your expansion.

All our ancestors made this mistake. They were all against expansion. Make not the same mistake my friend. Expand yourself, and encourage the children towards further expansion. Encourage them to surpass you, instead of sentencing them to the prison of your own beliefs and notions.

Without expansion there ain't gonna be no earth left, that is, one fit for human existence. And to be honest, the day is not far when planet earth will be absolutely unfit for human existence, both psychologically and physically.”

“Noviolence 2.0 (The Sonnet)

Nonviolence is not absence of violence,
Nonviolence is control over violence.
Justice doesn't mean absence of injustice,
Justice means absence of indifference.
Liberty doesn’t mean total lack of limits,
Liberty means to practice self-regulation.
Free speech doesn't mean reckless speech,
Free speech means speaking for ascension.
Order does not mean absence of chaos,
Order means presence of accountability.
Peace does not mean absence of conflicts,
Real peace comes from elimination of bigotry.
No more nonchalant nonviolence, it's a coward's way!
Awake, arise ‘n humanize, or in tomb the world will lay.”

“Human of Revolution (The Sonnet)

Human of revolution is not a human of vengeance,
Human of evolution is not a human of recklessness.
If vengeance 'n recklessness ensured human rights,
The jungle would be the definition of kindness.
Let your blood boil in the course of justice 'n equality,
But don't become a monster in fighting monstrosity.
Let the prehistoric cycle of cruelty break with you,
So that humanity can dream beyond rights 'n dignity.
It's not about getting vengeance, or about getting even,
Justice begins with self-regulation, not law and order.
Can you tell right from wrong without involving law,
The day you do is the birth of actual, lasting order.
I say, revolution means defending without descending.
Hold their punches, hold your punches, 'n start dancing.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Dervish Advaitam: Gospel of Sacred Feminines and Holy Fathers

Hands stretched in help are true divinity.

Graceful kindness is the actual divinity.
Marking a cross on yourself ain't divinity,
Crossing out the self for others is real divinity.

Correcting errors by yourself is true divinity.
Selling glories of a dead messiah ain't divinity,
Refusing all glory to lift another is real divinity.
Sitting cross-legged in meditation ain't divinity,
Standing up bold against injustice is true divinity.
Divinity never comes from bible, marvel or vatican.
Burn yourself for others, and you'll know salvation.”

“Let Us Be (The Sonnet)

Let us be evolution,
Let us be the revolution.
There is plenty pollution,
Now let's be the solution.
Let us be soldiers eternal,
Let us be lovers adamant.
Let's not fear the fiery storms,
Let us be humans valiant.
Let us be the hope to others,
Let us be joy to others.
In a world full of self-obsession,
Across all self, let’s be the help to others.
Service of society is no act of charity,
For it is just life, for it is just humanity.”

“The Motto Sonnet

Hard as steel and soft as flower,
That's the motto for a civilized human.
Tough as thunder, sweet as honey,
That's the motto for a braveheart human.
Not too much unguided sentiments,
Not too much intellectual coldness,
To give either of them total slack,
Is to bring destruction and lifelessness.
Corazón primero, después dinero,*
Thus speaks the human of revolution.
Humanidad primero, después verdad,**
That's the motto for the being of evolution.
Strength, warmth ‘n reason, all are needed.
And all are to be guided by oneness uncorrupted.


(*Heart first, money later. **Humanity first, truth later.)”
― Abhijit Naskar, Dervish Advaitam: Gospel of Sacred Feminines and Holy Fathers
