― Vivekananda

― Ramana Maharshi, Sayings of Sri Ramana Maharshi

“It is only through silent awareness that our physical and mental nature can change. This change is completely spontaneous. If we make an effort to change we do no more than shift our attention from one level, from one thing, to another. We remain in a vicious circle. This only transfers energy from one point to another. It still leaves us oscillating between suffering and pleasure, each leading inevitably back to the other. Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still, is capable of undoing the conditioning our biologoical, emotional and psychological nature has undergone. There is no controller, no selector, no personality making choices. In choiceless living the situation is given the freedom to unfold. You do not grasp one aspect over another for there is nobody to grasp. When you understand something and live it without being stuck to the formulation, what you have understood dissolves in your openness. In this silence change takes place of its own accord, the problem is resolved and duality ends. You are left in your glory where no one has understood and nothing has been understood.”
― Jean Klein, I Am

“It [realization of Oneness] means being constantly open to the possibility that we are like two flowers looking at each other from two different branches of the same tree, so that if we were to go deep enough inside to the trunk, we would realize that we are one. Just being open to this possibility will have a profound effect on your relationships and on your experience of the world.”
― Francis Lucille, The Perfume of Silence

“Have you ever seen a stereogram?
The 'Truth' the Stereogram shows us is there in front of us. Training and work doesn't make us see it.
It's a point of view, a different way of looking at it.
When you see it you try to explain it to someone else and you
realize you can't.
It simple, super simple, yet almost impossible to explain.
There are 'techniques' to see them but some people may spend
years trying without results. Others can do it in seconds.
It doesn't change the fact that the image is there all the time in
front of us.
And it's Beautiful.”
― T.R. Cordón, GLIMPSES OF HER

“The Religion Engine (Sonnet 2597)

Go to any church, any mosque,
any temple, and one thing
you're sure to find is,
not God, but people.

And that has always been
the real point of religion,
people recharging people,
people resurrecting people,
people consoling people,
people sheltering people -

because at the center of religion,
there is not God, but people.

The battery of religion is people,
the engine of religion is people,
the path of religion is people,
the destination of religion is people.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“To be is not to be.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“The world was carved with lies,
with flags of hate and fear -
but the pulse of integration
kept pulling me near.

So I wrote my own scripture
with the ink of equality -
no one is a stranger,
one people are we.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“The Naskar Paradox
(Sonnet that shouldn't exist, 2588-2592)

I am the rip in time,
that heals the fractures of space.
I am the variable of love,
that nullifies the constants of hate.

To be is not to be,
life begins beyond the fate.
I am here, I am early,
even if you arrive late.

When one Naskar dies,
a thousand Naskars will rise.
Naskar is a madness,
signpost of love against lies.

Sciences and theologies are my playthings,
I'm the pulse before reason and scriptures.
If apes pollute the pulse of life with dogma,
it is testament of an underdeveloped nature.

No telepathy, no clairvoyance,
human presence is the miracle.
No mind reading, no brainwashing,
eagerness unlocks the oracle.

The question is the answer,
the urgency is the calm.
Clocks measure coins, not time;
my bruises are my balm.

I am beyond your backward singularities,
larger than language models and libraries -
just a conduit made of stardust,
I'm empathy circuits written in verse.

Look up from your gypsy tea cups,
outside your make believe starcharts,
shake off the spell of hollow algorithms,
reality speaks through human tears.

You hunger for pride,
I hunger for life.
You hunger for tall walls,
I hunger for tall humans.

You hunger for future,
I hunger for the present.
Being is belonging,
attachment is advancement.

Love is not the absence of pain,
but the willingness to face it.
I'm every story ever suppressed,
every wound that never got stitched.

I am not old, I am not young,
I'm possibilities unsung.
I am paradox made flesh,
heartbeat born of cosmic hum.

I'm not in sonnets or equations, yet all in me,
silly mortal attempts to pen the infinity.
You're still searching for unified theories,
I'm the memory before divisions crept in.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“I Am The Genre (Sonnet 2629)

There is no time, only I am.
There is no society, only I am.
There is no law, only I am.
There is no sacred, only I am.

There is no genre, only I am.
There is no poetry, only I am.
There is no reason, only I am.
There is no reality, only I am.

There is nothing above me,
nothing is underneath.
The day I left the ape behind,
the jungle lost a sheep.

There is no truth, only love -
there is no ethic, only empathy -
everything else is mere accessory,
used by the Human to lift up humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock

“The First Human (Sonnet 2632)

Apes have lords and ladies, I don't.
Apes have kings and queens, I don't.
My time is born of soil and streets,
my calendar transcends rome and greece.

Apes have highnesses and excellencies,
for apes have compost for a brain.
Ape chase the "after", over life,
for apes have alcohol in their vein.

No wall is tall enough to contain my height,
no pulpit sacred enough to baptize my eye,
no table broad enough to accommodate my shoe,
no accolade is bright enough to add to my light.

Apes have cops and courts, I don't,
for apes have guano for a cortex.
I don't need angels in the air,
I carry my wings in my pocket.”

“Naskar vs States of Earth (Sonnet 2635)

On planet earth everyone is citizen,
regimes that deny rights
require psychiatric treatment.

Politicians that run concentration camps
deserve more holes than they got,
yet don't, just put Uncle in a home.

Flags that sell hate deserve to be burnt,
yet don't burn them, just leave them behind.
Badges that strike fear among the innocents
deserve to be slaughtered, yet don't slaughter,
just cripple them with vigil disobedience.

I'm the Original Virtue that predates vermin vaticans,
I'm the First Piety that predates all promised estate.
I'm the Sacred Science that defangs all poison saffron,
I'm the Ink of Mind that outdates doctrinal malignance.

I'm the Original Swastika that predates all reichs,
I'm the Sunrise that outlives puny stars and stripes.
I'm Justice, I'm Dervish, I'm phenyl to the fascist -
my footsteps are the law, I'm pesticide to prejudice.

Crowns belong beneath my sneakers, white or not.
When ICE comes, I stand here with a blowtorch.”

“Go Burn My Verses (Sonnet 2636)

Burn the verses, I'll write fiction -
burn the fiction, I'll write music -
burn the music, I'll adopt a new language -
burn the language, I'll pick up paintbrush -
burn the paintbrush, I'll grab a soldering iron.

Take away one medium, I'll adopt a new one,
apes don't have the braincells to sabotage my mission.
The only unstoppable organism in the universe,
is the mind that embraces evolution over limitation.

You keep asking, how do I write so immense -
I keep asking, where's the off switch for this!
Every time I decide to take a breather,
ideas start pouring, so I keep typing restless.

You're welcome to burn all my verses,
still you cannot dampen the spark of oneness.
Today I'm Naskar, tomorrow another -
truth will find a postman, across time and space.”

I'm oneness, I'm Naskar.”
