Cultural Integration Quotes

“While many of us pursue comfort through upgraded plane tickets, luxurious hotels, and fine dining experiences, authentic comfort runs deeper. It encompasses how we carry ourselves, express our unique identities, and navigate the complex web of culture and fashion in diverse destinations.”
― Anastasia Pash, Travel With Style: Master the Art of Stylish and Functional Travel Capsules

“When The Pillar Gets Weary (Dervish Sonnet 2776)

I don't utter a single word that
I wouldn't want to become part of the canon,
but person can't live on discipline alone,
so, having no lover to take my armor off for,
I found a different way to vent my vulnerability -

in the mainstream work I'm a pillar of strength,
while turkish is quite literally my love language -
english is the language where my brain feels at home,
turkish is the language where my heart finds rest -

none my mothertongue, yet both are my first language,
with spanish as my occasional substitute for english.

English is not my mothertongue,
english is my brother tongue -
spanish is not my mothertongue,
spanish is my cousin tongue -
turkish is not my mothertongue,
turkish is my lover tongue.

My territory is planet earth -
humanity, my civilization.
Figure what I didn't mention,
you'll learn the law of assimilation.”

call it Sufism, sociology, or Advaita -

“Naskargen (Sonnet 3000)

It all started with a promise -
Liberty is my religion, Humans are my God;
what took to paper as a penniless dream,
ignited the planet with culture of integration.

Journey of civilization begins with
one person rejecting an outdated tradition,
evolution of apes to human begins with
one person disposing of their flag in a museum.

Divinity of the past was based in sky-fiction,
divinity of the present must be rooted in life;
science of the robots revolves around metal,
science of the humans must center around mind.

Faith fixated on no prophecy, no propaganda,
I entrust my promise upon you,
my promise, my rebellion, my madness -
if there is not a single Naskar in sight,
be the Naskar of your generation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“When The Dervish Burns
(Naskaristana 2791-2794)

You cannot have a brain,
and complacent too.
You cannot have backbone,
and conformist too.

You cannot have heart,
and host prejudice too.
You cannot be human,
and popular too.

You cannot have a self,
and not burn it.
You cannot have a life,
and not sacrifice it.

You cannot have eyes,
and not see through lies.
You cannot have ears,
and not hear the tears.

You cannot have arms,
and not stretch in aid.
You cannot have feet,
and not burn the chains.

You cannot have veins,
and not boil at cruelty.
You cannot have nerves,
and not ignite at injustice.

You cannot have government,
and homelessness too.
You cannot have innovation,
and fail accessibility too.

You cannot aim for the stars,
while failing life on earth.
You have zero right to luxury,
while children suffer and starve.

You cannot have godmen,
and claim to know the truth.
You cannot be fundamentalist,
and have faith too.

You cannot have faith,
and fail tolerance.
You cannot have science,
and fail at service.

You cannot have culture,
and fail integration.
You cannot have internet,
and fail common sense.

You cannot have a society,
and fail empathy.
You cannot have language,
and fail understanding.”

“Every country needs just one person
to embody the best of humanity -
but I couldn't wait to find those people,
so I chose to be that person
from every culture and every country,

that's why I made these languages,
these cultures, these soils, my own,
no native, no foreign, it's all my own -

I let their air fill my lungs,
their passions permeate my veins,
their tears galvanize my heart,
their dreams resurrect my brain -

which is why, some ask for water, some ask pani -
somewhere I'm scientist, somewhere I'm sufi.”
― Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock
