Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets Quotes

“Beyond tongue and tradition, Beyond ignorance and intolerance, Beyond fear and fanaticism, Beyond rigidity and recklessness, Beyond the desert of dead habit, Beyond the logical heartlessness, Beyond the lies of selfish order, Beyond the highs of whims and wishes, There's a valley of love and laughter. Come someday, I shall meet you there.”

“Letter to My Soldiers I am only the beginning - the beginning of a new kind of humans - humans who belong to not one culture, but many cultures - humans who speak not one language, but many languages - humans who study scriptures and science with equal enthusiasm, yet pledge allegiance to neither, and know how to use both in the benefit of humanity - humans who aim for neither belief nor disbelief, but warmth and understanding - humans who are more concerned with the real hard problem of inhumanity, than the outdated hard problem of consciousness - humans who sacrifice their life treating the real hard question of hate, rather than the mythical hard question of god. I am only the beginning - the first spark, if you may - the best are yet to come.”

“In love there is no controlling each other. Because, in love there is no each, there is no other, it's all one organic existence, ever vigilant of combined nourishment - ever responsible for combined growth - ever aware of combined welfare. Desire for control is born of separation - where there is no separation, there is no need for control.”

“One Mission, Many Vessels (The Sonnet, 1313) One thunder, visions plenty. One mission, vessels plenty. One source, seekers plenty. One fate, fervors plenty. From dust we're born, In dust we're gone. Cashes to ashes, Bitcoins in trashes, Division is nefarious, Unity is dawn. The day the billions of people of earth are valued more than the billionaires, that day you shall be human being, that day you are king and queen. Naskar doesn't have flag or nation, My flag is world flag - my nation, world nation. Call me poet, scientist or humanitarian, Naskar is the spirit of world integration.”

“Grow so big with your ideas that you become a threat to every nationalist state in the world. Grow so big with inclusivity that you become a curse to every fundamentalist institution in the world. Pledge allegiance to no label, Be absolutely, unequivocally nondual. Move past even the concept of nonduality, So that you become unequivocally whole. Expand, expand, and expand again, till the world witnesses your human reign. Expand to serve, expand to love! Amidst eternal desert be the impossible rain.”

“I don't write on multiculturalism, I am multiculturalism. The only nationalism I care about, is tribalism ending multinationalism. Either you'll know me as a national hero of every nation, or you won't know me at all. So long as a single human calls me foreigner, I'll conclude, I've achieved nothing at all.”

“What is Naskar (The Sonnet) Naskar is a culture unto themselves, Naskar is a nation unto themselves. Naskar is a planet unto themselves, Naskar is a paradigm unto themselves. Naskar culture is integration, Naskar nation is world nation. Naskar planet is borderless, Naskar paradigm is undivision. Naskar is not a he or she, Naskar is the whole of humanity. Naskar is neither east nor west, Naskarosphere is conscious unity. Naskar is just a lesser synonym, The original name is Human Being.”

“I am Multiculturalism (The Sonnet) I don't write on multiculturalism, I am multiculturalism. The only nationalism I care about, is tribalism ending multinationalism. I can't do it no more - I can't! One little language is enough no more! I gotta be the Himalayas in every language, I gotta be the Himalayas in every culture. Either you'll know me as a national hero of every nation, or you won't know me at all. So long as a single human calls me foreigner, I'll conclude, I've achieved nothing at all.”

“Stateless Sonnet Some dreams are too big for a town, Some dreams are too big for a city. My dream was too big for one country, So I stood up and engulfed humanity. I am too alive to be bound by ideology, I am too human to be bound by border. Too civilized to pledge flagly allegiance, I am the ultimate geopolitical defector. In poetry I am sufi, In philosophy I am advaitin. In duty I am scientist, In existence I am human. I am a civilized human being, I don't exist to impress governments. I'm a being with heart, brain 'n backbone, I'm the stateless force of world upliftment.”
