“Hand of human is the hand of god.”

“Every adventure allegorically retelling the same essential truth, which was that we are all so much more than we have been led to believe.

― Casey Fisher, The Subtle Cause

sit and share a cup of stew,

There beyond, where sentience lets no storm to brew,
Out of the fossil, into the fervor, I shall meet you.”

“Sonnet 1609

Myself Human,
Himalayan Human -
broader than your schools,
higher than your walls.

Myself Sapiens,
Serendipitous Sapiens -
holier than hagiographies,
stranger than quantum world.

Be a Muslim, be a Christian,
Be an Atheist, or be a martian!
None of these means nothing at all,
till we're each other's emancipation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yüz Şiirlerin Yüzüğü (Ring of 100 Poems, Bilingual Edition): 100 Turkish Poems with Translations

“All that flickers across the screen before us is nothing more than an illusion of activity, of change and process, and of things happening or stagnating.

― Casey Fisher, The Subtle Cause

“Life is Nonbiblical, Truth is Nonbinary
(Sonnet 2349-2350)

Atheism is a white european invention,
outside the shortsighted gutter
of eurocentrism there are people who don't
need to believe in a creator to be holy,

you can be sacred without being superstitious,
the human world is teeming with such cultures
where life is holy, duty is holy, laughter is holy,
but of course your whitewashed, eurocentric
little intellect cannot fathom nonduality -

that's why you mustn't confuse intellect with wisdom,
some of the brilliant minds are first class idiots,
their binary brains have zero capacity for nuance,
they confuse the backwater fiction-centric narrative
of the church to be the entire lifespring of theology,

so naturally, either they believe like sheep
or reject like robot, because in a world of sheep
and cyborgs either there is god or there is not,
either you submit to blind faith or icecold logic,
there is no place for heart, humanity and tolerance!

Not Christ, but church doctrine was
a major downgrade in theology existing
hundreds and thousands of years prior,
at the same time, european reductionism
was a major downgrade in a wholesome
life-centric understanding of truth.

We need a life-centric understanding of truth,
not truth-centric understanding of life -
we need a human-centric realization of divine,
not divine-centric realization of human.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“I don't think, I roar.
I don't write, I pour.

I am cinders, I am grass.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

“What good to me are academic walls, what good to me are church ceilings! Mountains are my classroom, sky, my blackboard - nature is my canon, cosmos is my kin.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

“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
