The Divine Refugee Quotes

“Naskarism, Marxism, Buddhism, Sufism, Confucianism, Christianism, Judaism, it's all human construct. As such, none of it is infallible. Yours truly admits that, so did my friend Sid (Buddha), as well as my brother Mevlana (Rumi). And what's wrong with acknowledging the possibility of folly anyway! It is only through folly that fervor unfolds - it is only through mistakes that the mind expands.”

“The Islam I Live (Sufi Sonnet 1640) The Islam I live speaks of love, The Islam I live is gentle as dove. The Islam I live claims no convert, The Islam I live warms all in hug. The Islam I live transcends doctrine, The Islam I live transcends the mosque. The Islam I live holds no faith foreign, The Islam I live finds good in every walk. The Islam I live is a walking azaan, living call to tolerance and acceptance. Muslim poet am I, from the valley of love, The Islam I live is the end of violence. The Islam I live is an act of peace, a promise of love, in a world of malice.”

“Catholics say, anglicans ain't real christians. Jews say, christians ain't the chosen people. Hindus say, even a muslim's shadow ruins faith. Muslims say, every non-muslim is an infidel. Everybody thinks they're the chosen ones, and everybody else is living in sin. Only the brand of the bottle changes, not the prejudice and bigotry within.”

“Best way apes know to make sure nobody questions their words is to call them divine intervention, rather than human creation. But if you could transcend the primitive instinct of connecting divinity with the supernatural, you would plainly see, human creation is divine creation - human intervention is the most divine it gets. That is why, my creations are divine creation, but that divinity is firmly rooted in my own consciousness - not in some imaginary heaven, but in my own organic and very much mortal human brain. Quran, Bible, Vedas - it's all human creation, no matter how much their proponents peddle them otherwise. Sure, they have a divine element to them, hence, there is good in them, but that divinity, that goodness, is rooted in humans, not in some anthropomorphic supernatural deity.”

“Naskar Syndrome (The Sonnet) If you value mission over money, you got the Naskar syndrome. If you value mind over machine, you got the Naskar syndrome. Value listening over scrolling, and you got the Naskar syndrome. If you value behavior over belief, you got the Naskar syndrome. If you value rights over ritual, you got the Naskar syndrome. If you value life over doctrine, you got the Naskar syndrome. Rise, revolt and roar for reform, then you are my soldier of dawn. Awake, aspire, and ascend in light, then you are my fulfilled vision.”
