“Snoojk pfsfsf oojink wi, wi!”

“I only know of one divinity - kindness. Save kindness all else is fiction - from the fundamental facts of physics to the direst doctrines of scripture.

Every construct of society must prove its worth in relation to kindness, in relation to uplift. If they can't, they require correction. And despite countless corrections if a construct fails to uphold the uplift of human condition before all else, it is the duty of the civilized beings to leave such construct behind as an appendage of human evolution.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“More Important Than Truth (The Sonnet)

In the beginning even I was,
Bedazzled by the concept of truth.
It took me some time to,
Step across the lure of truth.
That is when I realized that,
Every brain creates its own truth.
So we'd never achieve harmony,
With the heartless pursuit of truth.
Understanding the definition of truth,
May differ from person to person.
But the virtues of basic goodness,
Need no divisive interpretation.
Always place love first, truth second.
Humanity first, intelligence second!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sin Dios Sí Hay Divinidad: The Pastor Who Never Was

“The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
― Albert Einstein College of Medicine

“COMMUNITIEs' are the only problem of all living creatures on this 'Planet Earth'. & human's suffering because of multiple communities - made/maintained/created by them, in the name of so many Human languages only. But blamed in the name of GOD/CREATOR: Mono/Poly-theistic creations.”

“Like many other world religions, nationalism requires its adapts to adhere to a strict dogma. They must also provide a sacrifice of blood and money to its altar. It is just that nationalism is clever enough not to call itself a religion.
Science, inspired by the same mechanism is not reluctant to instill guilt, call in for prophets of doom to provide us with the reason for the end of the world, through climate change, and provide us with dates of when all hell will break loose as a punishment for our environmental crimes.
How to find one’s way through the maze?
It seems to me that it is only reason that doesn’t require any reasons for it is itself a reason. - On Nationalism and Science as Religions”
― Lamine Pearlheart, Awakening

“The enemy does not sleep? What if I scientifically informed you that the enemy within is the one you should deal with?”

“Weapons are essentially the invention of science, be it our modern nukes or ancient swords and arrows. Yet most of the bloodshed throughout history has been blamed totally upon religion, without a single mention of science being a party to it. If religion has done harm, so has science. If science has done good, so has religion.

The fact of the matter is, neither science nor religion is the cause of good and evil in the world, they are merely an excuse. It's the human mind that's the root of all good and evil - science and religion are merely accessory to the intention.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“My First Love (The Sonnet)

My first love was not science,
My first love was theology.
Then what got me hooked on science,
Was the spark of electronic circuitry.

Eventually through happy and sad accidents,
Everything fell into its proper place.
Science, theology, and much more
got mixed up, and I ended up pioneering
the empire of humanitarian science.

I am a better scientist because of theology,
I am a better theologian because of science.
Hand in hand they found fulfillment,
When with poetry I built a heartfelt alliance.

I have no gift, it's just that, expansion is my lifeblood.
In a world run by narrowness, the smallest act
of expansion seems like an act of God.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“When somebody uses nuclear weapon to cause destruction, it's the fault of the individual. But, when an individual uses scripture as justification for their atrocities, it's the fault of an entire community. How come!

I am not condoning religious violence, any more than I am condoning “scientific violence”, such as, nuclear proliferation, big pharma exploitation, big tech recklessness, and so on. All I am asking is that, sensible people see sense, putting aside their prejudicial inclinations for a second.

We all know about the atrocities committed by organized religion. But if we are not cautious, we will end up doing the same with science, deluded by our grandeur of intellect, and pomposity of technology.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“Religion that doesn't bring oneness,
Is not religion, but the original sin.
Science that doesn't lift human condition,
Is not science but superstition.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“I am a better scientist because of theology, I am a better theologian because of science.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“I am neither a believer, nor an atheist. Believers care about the existence of God, atheists care about the nonexistence of God. I care about neither. I only care about human existence. I only care about the uplift of human condition.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“If you can meet with facts and fiction, and treat them both with some humanity, then you shall be a human.”

“Purpose of Purpose (The Sonnet)

The purpose of science is its correction,
The purpose of religion is its extinction.
The purpose of art is purposeful reflection,
The purpose of a human is self-annihilation.
The purpose of hands is to unfold in help,
The purpose of heart is to be a shelter.
The purpose of feet is to walk forward,
The purpose of eyes is to enhance insight.
Purpose is the antithesis of imprisonment,
Life is the antithesis of indoctrination.
Hands aren't meant to be used for hogging,
Heart is the antithesis of division.
All purpose must be an aid to the uplift of humanity.
If it is impediment, it ain't no purpose, but inhumanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sin Dios Sí Hay Divinidad: The Pastor Who Never Was

“If your science contradicts your religion, you’ve either got bad science or bad religion.”

― Abhijit Naskar, Sin Dios Sí Hay Divinidad: The Pastor Who Never Was

“All creation is governed by law," Sri Yukteswar concluded. "The principles that operate in the outer universe, discoverable by scientists, are called natural laws. But there are subtler laws that rule the hidden spiritual planes and the inner realm of consciousness; these principles are knowable through the science of yoga. It is not the physicist but the Self-realized master who comprehends the true nature of matter. By such knowledge Christ was able to restore the servant's ear after it had been severed by one of the disciples." (Luke 22:50-51)”
― Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi

“Please don't compare me with your militant atheists - in their intellectualist world there is no place for anything that cannot be logically explained, whereas the world I dream of, is built upon a healthy interaction between facts and fairytale. I want it to be a living planet for living beings, not a giant data center packed with computers with feet. If all we needed was facts, the world would've become a utopia the moment computer was invented. Likewise, if all we needed was fairytale, the world would've turned into a paradise the moment sanskrit, hebrew or klingon was invented. There can be no lasting peace and harmony, until facts and fairytale work hand in hand, while boldly rejecting blind superstition, as well as cold logicality.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

“God is all in the mind,
What's wrong with that!
Art is also all in the mind,
So, is art nothing but dirt!

Dividers will always divide,
Haters will always hate.
Apes will find one excuse or another,
To justify their authoritarian trait.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission

“Knowing that all the stories of God are nothing but fantasy self-preserving, is not the end of all realization, but the first step towards true understanding.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission

“At the center of the universe is a relationship, that is the most fundamental truth I know. At the center of the universe is a community. It is out and for that relationship you and I were created and redeemed.”
― Darrell Johnson

“Using scripture to decode morality is like using the abacus to code iOS.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yarasistan: My Wounds, My Crown
