Inclusion Quotes

“People who are not autistic tell themselves stories. They fill in the gaps of the people they meet, often with information that isn't correct. It's why they like horror so much. It's why they get so easily scared. They see a ghost and the ghost doesn't need to do a thing. They will complete the story, they will scare themselves.”
― Elle McNicoll, Keedie

“I don't need to write in all these languages of the world - those who care, will find a way. I write in more than one language because I want to. I want to leave at least something extremely personal for every culture in the world - that is, for as many cultures as I humanly can.

However in the end, the universal spirit of love, light and oneness transcends language and culture, and finds a home in the heart of every conscientious human being - and that's what counts. It's the bridge that counts, not the shape it comes in.”

“One Mission, Many Vessels
(The Sonnet, 1313)

One thunder, visions plenty.
One mission, vessels plenty.
One source, seekers plenty.
One fate, fervors plenty.

From dust we're born,
In dust we're gone.
Cashes to ashes,
Bitcoins in trashes,
Division is nefarious,
Unity is dawn.

The day the billions of people of earth
are valued more than the billionaires,
that day you shall be human being,
that day you are king and queen.

Naskar doesn't have flag or nation,
My flag is world flag - my nation, world nation.
Call me poet, scientist or humanitarian,
Naskar is the spirit of world integration.”

― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

“Grow so big with your ideas that you become
a threat to every nationalist state in the world.
Grow so big with inclusivity that you become a curse
to every fundamentalist institution in the world.

Pledge allegiance to no label,
Be absolutely, unequivocally nondual.
Move past even the concept of nonduality,
So that you become unequivocally whole.

Expand, expand, and expand again,
till the world witnesses your human reign.
Expand to serve, expand to love!
Amidst eternal desert be the impossible rain.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

“The most common explanation by leaders and those in positions of influence is that equity, diversity, and inclusion take time. My question is, whose time – that of a human or a God? The scriptures tell us the God’s one day is equal to one thousand human years. So, if we are talking in terms of God’s time, it has only been six days. If we are talking in terms of human time, then recorded human history is six thousand years. How much longer are we expected to wait.”
― Faisal Khosa

“From Ape to Human (The Sonnet)

To label a spirit is to cripple a spirit,
What we call cultural imprints are prison.
Society of such culture is no human society,
but merely an overglorified animal kingdom.

Sure, the culture we're born in are part of us,
But it must never take over human identity.
That's how heritage facilitates bias-n-hate,
And culture becomes excuse for inhumanity.

Call it advaita, nirvana or humanity,
the purpose is to surpass all divide.
Anything that distances mind from mind,
must never be defended as cultural pride.

Mission is, not to remove cultural imprints,
But to be civilized enough to surpass them.
Only then can we be the bridge of benevolence,
Only then the glorified ape shall emerge as human.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets

Segregation is degeneration.
