Aşk Mafia: Armor of The World Quotes

“Water has to be the right temperature, For it to appease our human thirst. Too cold, it'll give you frost-bite, Too hot, and it'll burn your throat. Intellect has to be rightly moderated, For it to push mind and society upward. Too little, it facilitates superstition, Too much, and it turns the mind cold.”

“Sekularismen har tre stadier. Först inser du att alla religioner ber till samma Gud. För det andra, inser du, Gud existerar bara i det mänskliga hjärtat. Till sist försvinner allt tal om Gud, och det som finns kvar bland människorna är en naturlig känsla av enhet.”

“True religion is a love affair with the spirit within, not with the picket fences that we place around the spirit – true religion is a love affair with the spirit of universality within the human heart everywhere, not with an imaginary spirit in an imaginary heaven.”

“What’s The Difference (Sonnet 1037) If a scientist has no humility, what's the difference between a scientist and a computer! If a doctor has no warmth, what's the difference between a doctor and a butcher! If a teacher has no curiosity, what's the difference between a teacher and a circus trainer! If a filmmaker has no originality, what's the difference between a filmmaker and a photocopier! If a cop cannot practice self-correction, what's the difference between a cop and an executioner! If a theologian has no integrative spirit, what's the difference between a theologian and a mumbling parrot! If a modern human cannot balance reason and warmth, what's the difference between a sentient human and a creature from the swamp!”

“Not aim for nondivision, we gotta start from nondivision - not aim for secularism, we gotta start from secularism - not aim for harmony, we gotta start from harmony. Harmony is the starting point - integration is the starting point - universal acceptance is the starting point. It is this simple, yet why do we complicate it with so much intellectual jargon, like existentialism, empiricism, humanism and so on! Why can't the human simply be human! A real existentialist pays attention to existence, not to existentialism. A real empiricist pays attention to the rightful use of empirical evidence, not to mere empiricism. A real humanist pays attention to a life of human substance, not to shallow theoretical concepts like humanism.”

“Chrismadan (The Sonnet) What happens when two ancient cultures come together! They create a spectacular specimen called dervish advaitin. When mistletoe and menorrah combine, heart shines brighter, Beyond belief 'n disbelief, there's a land most enlightening. Keep your outdated sectarian identities to yourself, I am Jewistian, Hinduslim, or simply Human Universal. Be the next civilized step of humankind's evolution, Not just another savage vessel of mistakes ancestral. Revitalized by Ramadan, humanized by Christmas, Let's celebrate Chrismadan, as well as Hanukkawali. Instead of carrying on as second-hand savages, Habibi come, let us start living with humanity! When all religions combine, a modern human is born. Without integration there is no dawn, just endless mourn.”
