Nonduality comes from wholeness,
Wholeness rises when sectarianism is slashed.
Sectarianism fails when we fall in love,
Not with one person but the whole world.
When the stranger becomes family,
Politicians will lose their job.
When love overwhelms all rigidity,
Arms dealers will mourn and sob.
When diplomacy keeps the world divided,
Reliance on institutions goes through the roof.
The best way to sustain profits of war,
Is to keep people infected with the nationalist flu.
Enough with this barbarianism of sovereignty!
Step up and shout, the whole world is my family!

I thought I could bear the title poet,
But as it turns out, I cannot.
I can barely bear the title of scientist,
Let alone adding another next to it.
Each title feels like a burden herculean,
My heart cannot function with such burden.
If I am to create works of life and wholeness,
I must be free from titles, sane and insane.
My ideas are not born of mere thought,
If they were, there wouldn't be any torment.
My work comes from a land beyond labels,
A place deeper than thought can penetrate.
So you may call me whatever you like.
In my mind, I am but a nameless light.

I am not east, I am not west, I am the whole world. I have absorbed the good from every single culture of planet earth, and now the entire world courses through my veins as lifeblood. That is why, I am a human being – that is why, I am a whole human being.

“Aum Amen Assalaam (The Interfaith Sonnet)

Jo bole so nihal – honest, brave ‘n nondual!
Ain’t no human run by divisionism.
You may say Merhaba, or Hallelujah,
Smiling I respond, Walaikum Assalam.
Every human greeting is an act of peace,
Language differs, not the emotion.
Yet we keep bickering over language,
Overlooking all loving unison.
Chag sameach say some of us,
Some say happy holidays!
Across the words, into the heart,
We’ll find the flame of happiness.
Underneath every version of felicidad,
there is a sense of illumination.
Aim of all Aum and Amen – is unification.”

When someone’s world is crumbling down,
Reach out to lend a shoulder not analysis.
If the world had more carers and sharers,
We wouldn’t need the services of therapists.
Most humans are raised to be selfish robots,
Then they spend their life on a therapist’s sofa.
When someone’s going through a period of grief,
Only the mindless comments, ‘have you tried yoga!’
For the human mind to be whole and healthy,
You gotta empty it of all the unhealthy junk.
And there is no greater junk on the face of earth,
Than the traditions that make us self-centric drunk.
Elimination of coldness is the highest of all wisdom.
Treat the common cold, and you’ll treat all descension.

Narcissism has a time and place, cold detachment has a time and place. Problem is, we’ve made a world out of narcissism and detachment, while hypocritically diagnosing them as clinical on one hand, and sugarcoating them as self-care or stoicism on the other. In reality, it’s all nonsense. When people are upset at you, with no fault of your own, or when they come to take away your dream, that’s when you gotta let detachment kick on. Likewise, when shallow nitwits commit harm in front of your eyes, that’s when you gotta exercise your narcissism, and treat them like a parent would treat their child when they’ve done something wrong. Even the ugliest of animal faculty can be used for good, when wielded with conscience. It’s about using the whole of your mind, rather than giving in to all the prehistoric intellectual dualities of narcissism and altruism, or attachment and detachment. When people are helpless, to them be a christ – but when they behave heartless instead, be the light to their lies.

“You can neither fathom nor manifest the true vastness of the human mind, with your puny binary eyes of belief and disbelief – facts and fiction – capitalism and socialism – democracy and autocracy – logicality and sentimentality.”

“Dharmanator (The Nonduality Sonnet)

Pani, Agua, Water, it’s all one;
Ubuntu, Advaita, Ahava, it’s all one;
Creation, Consciousness, Evolution, it’s all one;
To fathom this you gotta unlearn all separatism.

Division imposed by facts and intellect is just
as degrading as those imposed by faith and fiction.
True light of knowledge obliterates all divide,
instead of turning mind into a dumpyard of reason.

When a computer engineer becomes a monk,
then that monk becomes a brain scientist,
your revered paradigms are bound to crumble,
as all institutions stand on grounds separatist.

Apes may be stuck in prehistoric duality,
Norm of the cosmos is nonduality.
With your binary eyes of belief and disbelief,
You’ll never wake up to cosmic serendipity.

Move past your psychoduality,
If you wanna unfold human vastness.
Faith and logic both will turn bland,
Once you wake up to sapiosentience.”

You don’t have to agree with a person
completely, to love them – accept them.
There are a few, I disagree with plenty,
yet till death, I’ll fight for them.

Not all that Rumi wrote apply today,
yet I love Mevlana like my own brother.
Even more of Aquinas are out of date,
yet like a friend I love my Thomas.

Heart doesn’t care about consensus of the brain,
Heart only cares for an inexplicable closeness.
Intellect has no bearing over heart’s closeness,
Often intellect is a barrier to life’s wholeness.

Intellect is boon, but only when it helps wholeness.
Being right is not necessarily the mark of goodness.

I am not a capitalist, I am not a communist, I am not a socialist, I am not a traditionalist. A puerile, clinically sectarian species like yours cannot fathom what I am. Does that mean, I am not the same species as you! Sure, I am – but from a different dimension – a different dimension in time – a different dimension in mind – where intellect is only a tool, not torture – where faith is only a choice, not compulsion – where money is only a means, not master – where oneness is fundamental, not fiction.

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.

Mother Earth is a living organism,
forests are the lungs of the planet,
soil is the womb, oceans are blood –
climate change is the planet having fever,
in response to the human virus.

Economy rooted in greed is not growth,
religion rooted in dogma is not holy,
innovation rooted in vanity is not science,
abundance without wholeness ruins the society.

Earth doesn’t need our consent to wipe us out,
any more than we asked permission from corona virus.
Cosmos carries no fury like a mother done wrong –
Mother brings us into the world, mother can take us out.
