Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo Quotes

“Sonnet 1142 Naskar the scientist says, Science that lifts no human condition, is not science but superstition. Naskar the monk says, Inclusion is illumination, discrimination is delusion. Naskar the philosopher says, Better lose truth, than lose humanity - Better lose truth, than lose love. Naskar the sufi says, Sense yourself till you sense nothing but love. Naskar the humanist says, I don't care about your belief or disbelief, all I care about is your behavior with others. Naskar the humanitarian says, each human must earn their admission into the human race with humane actions. The spirit of love speaks of love, no matter the faith and field. Hate is but a mark of narrowness - When you expand heart and soul, whole world becomes kin and kith.”

“I speak the tongues of earth, I sing the songs of earth. Forever I find myself, In many fervors of earth. Ain't got no single nation, Ain't got no single culture. Human am I, I belong to humans, Come hell or come high water!”
