“Medicine Doesn't Require Faith Test
(Naskaristana 2504)

More and more I've grown distant
of the term "philosophy",
as I'm nearing my final sleep it feels,
philosophy is just a kid brother to theology.

But my theology has no relation to scripture,
my theology is just human acting at full voltage.
Ibn Arabi, Adi Shankara, Meister Eckhert, it's all one.
Mevlana, Naskar, Aquinas, all are one sentience.

All paths are valid, only prejudice is invalid;
no matter the river, we're all headed to the sea.
Dual, nondual, all are human construct -
beyond ritual and reason ignites divine sanity.

Rain doesn't check bank balance,
soil doesn't require DNA test -
breath doesn't ask for proof of residence,
medicine doesn't require faith test.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“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one person rejecting an outdated tradition,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

“Jashn-e Inquilab, Sonnet 2600
(Revolution Festivities)

When there is order, but no justice,
when there is faith, but no goodness,
when there is brain, but no benevolence,
when there is custom, but no consciousness -

when machines behave like people,
but people behave like vegetable,
when governments shelter more
lunatics than lunatic asylums -

when ICE age looms early,
terrorizing life and liberty,
when disparity is packaged as prosperity,
and cowardice is the standard of society -

let the festivities of revolution commence,
breaking the fast of convenient apathy -
I am the Imperishable Force of Oneness,
I am Iftar, I am Noel, I am Jashn-e Justice.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot
