Nazmahal: Palace of Grace Quotes

“Not All, But (Naskaristana 2785) Not all doctors are butchers, but butcher doctors are status quo. Not all coppers are corrupt, but corrupt coppers are status quo. Not all politicians are warmongers, but warmonger politicians are status quo. Not all preachers are mindless fanatics, but fanatic preachers are status quo. Not all men are abusive perverts, but toxic masculinity is tradition. Not all white people are bigots, but bigoted white beasts are the planet's heaviest historic burden. Not all stereotypes come from fear and ignorance, some have basis in historic facts. Question is not, why you face such stereotypes, the real question is, are you living as the new standard against prehistoric conventions! I burnt my reputation to the ground, so I could stand as an undomesticated beacon, doesn't matter if no one comes to my aid, I have no desire to be worshipped by gibbons.”

“Rewiring Divinity, 2732 (Diary of A Monk Scientist) One thing you must realize, there is no absolute truth in this world, whatever you put your life and mind into, goes. I found the world's perception of religion prehistoric, so I poured my existence into rewiring the very reality of divinity - because, there is no other divinity out there, whatever we humans come up with, goes - and if some prehistoric baboons with two brain cells could normalize blind faith as divinity, then a human being with a hundred billion nerve cells, could cast aside such blindness and redo divinity from ground up, and this time, not as a coping mechanism against the unknown, but as enhancement of our humanity.”

“Diary of Dervish Advaitam (Naskaristana 2738) The other day I was reminiscing, which was the first inhumanity that lit the fuse of my life, and I think I figured it out - it was probably Islamophobia, which turned my life into a living rebuttal to every form of dehumanization disguised as heritage - perhaps that was when the dervish took root, even though on paper I wasn't a muslim - papers identify monkeys, not the human spirit; a dervish is no longer a muslim, just like an advaitin is not a hindu, and a christly person is not a christian - religion of a dervish is love, religion of an advaitin is oneness, religion of a christ is kindness. Quietly an advaitin became dervish, and emerged Dervish Advaitam, with languages of the world as master power, and sciences of the mind as master plan.”

“Astrology is the dumbest superstition of all, your date of birth has zero effect on your destiny, but your place of birth, on the other hand, shapes a great deal of your life and character. Someone born in Paris demands from their parents, that they must go on a world tour again this year, someone born in Palestine asks their parents, can they have a small doll this year.”

“Ben Bi' Garip Dervişim (Şiir) Ben bi' garip dervişim, cennetine dönmeyeceğim; bu dünya derdim benim, bu toprak dermanım. Çok yorgunum artık, yine de asla durmayacağım; bu orman, insan olana kadar bir canı bin defa feda edeceğim. Dünya sadece benim değil, dünya sadece değil senin; ya dünya herkesin hakkıdır, ya da değil hiç kimsenin.”
