Iman Insaniyat, Mazhab Muhabbat: Pani, Agua, Water, It's All One Quotes

“Buddhas, Christs and Mevlanas don't live in caves, they walk amongst you. You know why? Because we cannot change the world from the sidelines. You may play the make believe of nonattachment all you want - and it may bring you personal comfort for the time being, but it doesn't alleviate human suffering from the world one bit. The enlightenment bit is a small part of the equation. How you live afterwards determines the true worth of that enlightenment. If your idea of enlightenment revolves around some prehistoric routine of sitting and chanting, or crouching and praying, then such enlightenment is no enlightenment, but derangement.”

“Selam-e-Sapiens (Shattered Seer Sonnet) Sometimes I'm battered vagabond, Sometimes I'm shattered seer. No claim to name, fame or reign, Lovedrunk I write borracha poesía. Sometimes I'm mest-i-mevlana, Sometimes I'm my own Shams. Sometimes I'm dastan-e-dervish, Sometimes I'm selam-e-sapiens. I am no brahmin, I am the Godfather of brahmins; I am Parabrahma, the Brahmins worship. I am Adi, I am Anth, I am Ananth Adishakti. Leave your creed, crown and constitution, when you enter my door. I am but a human if you are human, if you're sectarian, I'm messiah galore.”

“Puedes entrenar una mente para pensar, pero no puedes entrenar un corazón para amar. O amas o no amas, no hay entrenamiento. O amas o no amas, no hay nada que pensar. Nadie lo piensa dos veces antes de odiar, entonces ¿por qué deberías pensar tanto antes de amar? Hasta que el amor se vuelva instintivo como el odio, nada cambiará.”

“The Illiterate (A Sonnet) I am poetry, I am the poet. I am literature, Yet I am illiterate. Illiterate am I of intellect, Illiterate am I of rituals. My literacy comes from the soil, My literacy makes the world equal. Drunkard am I, absurd am I, All I know is but love's insanity, Past all Cross and MC squared, Love is the only cosmic literacy. Be literate of books and brain, But more so of the dormant light. Literacy of letters earns you living, Literacy of love earns you a life.”

“Statement on Generative AI Just like Artificial Intelligence as a whole, on the matter of Generative AI, the world is divided into two camps - one side is the ardent advocate, the other is the outspoken opposition. As for me, I am neither. I don't have a problem with AI generated content, I have a problem when it's rooted in fraud and deception. In fact, AI generated content could open up new horizons of human creativity - but only if practiced with conscience. For example, we could set up a whole new genre of AI generated material in every field of human endeavor. We could have AI generated movies, alongside human movies - we could have AI generated music, alongside human music - we could have AI generated poetry and literature, alongside human poetry and literature - and so on. The possibilities are endless - and all above board. This way we make AI a positive part of human existence, rather than facilitating the obliteration of everything human about human life. This of course brings up a rather existential question - how do we distinguish between AI generated content and human created material? Well, you can't - any more than you can tell the photoshop alterations on billboard models or good CGI effects in sci-fi movies. Therefore, that responsibility must be carried by experts, just like medical problems are handled by healthcare practitioners. Here I have two particular expertise in mind - one precautionary, the other counteractive. Let's talk about the counteractive measure first - this duty falls upon the shoulders of journalists. Every viral content must be source-checked by responsible journalists, and declared publicly as fake, i.e. AI generated, unless recognized otherwise. Littlest of fake content can do great damage to society - therefore - journalists, stand guard! Now comes the precautionary part. Precaution against AI generated content must be borne by the makers of AI, i.e. the developers. No AI model must produce any material without some form of digital signature embedded in them, that effectively makes the distinction between AI generated content and human material mainstream. If developers fail to stand accountable out of their own free will, they must be held accountable legally. On this point, to the nations of the world I say, you can't expect backward governments like our United States to take the first step - where guns get priority over children - therefore, my brave and civilized nations of the world - you gotta set the precedent on holding tech giants accountable - without depending on morally bankrupt democratic imperialists. And remember, the idea is not to ban innovation, but to adapt it with human welfare. All said and done, the final responsibility falls upon just one person, and one person alone - the everyday ordinary consumer. Your mind has no reason to not believe the things you find on the internet, unless you make it a habit to actively question everything - or at least, not accept anything at face value. Remember this. Just because it's viral, doesn't make it true. Just because it's popular, doesn't make it right.”
