The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology Quotes

“Human kneels to no ICE or SS (Sonnet 2200) Human bows to no flag or crown, human claims no jeweled throne - rejoicing in ruin of reputation, human stands unbent and alone. Bound to no creed or clan, human kneels before no stone - every place where hate looms, human sings in flesh and bone. Human kneels to no ICE or SS, human fears no dictatorial decree - where chains are sold as holy relic, human comes alive, roaring to be free. Human walks not in luxury suits, but in dusty rags of the street - human feasts with homeless folks, and dies happy at their feet.”

“Godmind, Sonnet 2101 Come, look into my eyes, you'll smell the soil from Tabriz, chiming with the whirlwind of Konya. Come, peer into my endless abyss, fused with the fragrance of Bethlehem, you'll feel the breeze from Bodh Gaya. Don't be intimidated, just let it go, let the chaff of creed become compost. The vastness I live is the vastness in you, yet it seems alien, for you're grazing like cod. Nothing's out there except our image, whatever is there, is right here. Origin of universe is too stoic an undertaking, you just act human, right now and here. If boson is god particle of the universe, human is the god particle of society. Life is divine, when instrument of love, human is the heart particle of humanity.”

“Born Ape, Die Human (Antiseptic Sonnet) I'm born an ape, but I won't die an ape, I'll die the most spectacular human that ever lived - blasphemously tolerant, immeasurably expansive, impractically unbending, impossibly inclusive. The sun always stings like antiseptic, for lies lull with comfort of narcotics. Give me ten brains, hearts and spines, I'll give you a planet primed with peace.”

“Village Vesuvius (The Sonnet) Be a think tank of life, not a septic tank of prejudice. Stand messenger, stand human, not a brainless host to malice. The book of truth is not a book of answers, the book of truth is a book of questions. The book of life is not a book of laws, the book of life is a book of conscience. Whenever, wherever, fanaticism weaponizes fear, human hearts gotta rise, abandoning tranquility. Whenever chowderheads infringe on love and reason, time be my testament - My World, My Responsibility! Pillar of heavens I stand, composed as the Himalayas. Persecute any community, and I am the Village Vesuvius.”

“Be The Change, Not The Caption (Sonnet) Do good, don't delegate. Go vital, not viral. Dare the deed, not drama. Be the specimen, not a spectacle. Speak truth, not trends. Carve meaning, not metrics. Plant roots, not rumors. Foster oneness, not optics. Lend a hand, not hashtag. Trigger action, not attention. Stir up lives, not likes. Be the change, not the caption.”
