Nazmahal: Palace of Grace Quotes

“Naskaristana 2789 I arrived with a clever brain, walked among clever apes, studied history written by winners, so I could earn some ape respect. Then I got weary of all the hypocrisy, idolizing morons as savior of humanity, mistaking the lens for the landscape, confusing privilege as social sanity - frustrated I plunged into fire, brain, vanity, esteem, the lot, all reputation burnt to ashes, what remain is unflinching humanity.”

“Whiteys on The Moon (Naskar's Version, 2749-2750) There is no orient, there is no occident, there is only consciousness - there is no global south, there is no global north, there is only human race. And now that we've established the ultimate human truth of the future, let's talk some facts of the present - we cannot establish a theoretical future, no matter how profound or spiritual it sounds, without first actively making amends for the past - we cannot say we're all equal, when clearly the crimesheet of the north is a hundred times bloodier than the south, when the bloodlust of the occident makes oriental villains look like pickpockets - you can put a hundred whiteys on the moon, still it won't make up for the countless holocausts you withheld from the history books, while cleverly cherrypicking one little cleansing that photoshops the colonial numbskulls as the saviors of the world.”

“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.”
