“God wants nothing from us. In that sense, then, He is completely impersonal. At the same time, however, He is very intimately personal where we ourselves are concerned, for He wants for each of us, His creatures, the perfection of absolute Bliss. Sanaatan Dharma offers a blend, one which, to reason itself, is perfectly acceptable, between God as both impersonal and personal. God, as Krishna explains in the Bhagavad Gita, and as I said earlier, dreamed everything into existence. He couldn’t mold anything, outwardly, for there was nothing “out there” to mold nothing in existence anywhere but His own consciousness.”
― Kriyananda, Revelations of Christ: Proclaimed by Paramhansa Yogananda, Presented by his disciple, Swami

“There is no such thing as Hinduism - the actual phrase is Sanatana Dharma, which is not a religion, but an everyday sense of oneness or advaita - which is the very backbone of the Indian society. Only in India people celebrate Eid with as much enthusiasm as they celebrate Diwali - they celebrate Christmas with as much enthusiasm as they celebrate Nanak Jayanti - and that's Sanatana Dharma for you.”

“Tanrınator (The Sonnet)

To the christian I'm christian -
to neonazism, I'm nazarene ravager.
To the jew I'm just a jew -
to zionism, I'm thunderahava.

To the sanatani I'm advaitin -
to hindutva, I'm narasimha.
To the muslim I'm sufi fakir -
to islamism, I'm tanrınator.

To the atheist I'm rationalist,
to the militant I'm apocalypse.
To the intellectuals I'm an idiot,
to the narcissist I'm cataclysmic.

I'm a brother to every
believer and nonbeliever alike.
I'm the bridge that unites the shores,
I'm the bulldozer that obliterates divide.”

“India Beyond Saffron
(Sanyasi Scientist Sonnet)

Ananta (Eternity) knows no foreign-sanatan,
either Hindutva or Human -
saffron was never the color of India,
India is the most spectacular rainbow
among the ancient of civilizations.

There is not one but two India,
Animal India and Human India -
Animal India carries Gita like Gun,
Human India celebrates Diwali,
breaks bread on Iftar,
and sings Merry Christmas, with Gurbani.

An Indian is pluralism personified,
take away pluralism, and you're left
with a monkey draped in saffron.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

― Sandeep Sahajpal, The Twelfth Preamble: To all the authors to be!

“The immortal soul, atma, is wrapped in mortal flesh, or deha. This makes the soul a resident of the flesh, or dehi. Death is called ‘dehant’, as it is the end (ant) of flesh (deha), not the soul. The atma outlives death. At the time of birth, the atma wears a new body as if it were new clothes, and at the time of death, it discards the old body like old clothes.”
― Devdutt Pattanaik, Garuda Purana and Other Hindu Ideas of Death, Rebirth and Immortality

Yad ihāsti tad anyatra yan nehāsti na kutracit ||
