“Let them be bonkers for money if they want, let them be bonkers for facts if they want, let them be bonkers for dogmas and traditions if they want. As for you, be bonkers for the uplift of those around you, and for that if you have to compromise your intellect at times, then be it - but never - I repeat, never, ever compromise your humanity for anything in the world.”

“If you take a diamond and put it in a museum, does it try to impress people! It does not. Yet people start gathering around to bask in its glory. Let your humanity shine and the whole world will fall at your feet - even if your clothes are dirty and wallet is empty.”

“You don't need to memorize the bible - you don't need to turn water into wine - you don't need to have an unlimited supply of bread in your basket to be a miracle worker, you just need to have the capacity to share the one bread you have with someone hungry.”

“Either Aşkistan or Junglistan (A Sonnet) Ours is either aşkistan, Land of love founded on amity, Or it is an archaic junglistan, Run by contagious self-centricity. What is civilized is also unselfish, For selfishness makes the animal, Across the self there is humanity, What is unselfish is also accountable. Technology may bring comfort, But it doesn't ensure ascension, When comfort belongs to the privileged, Such progress is mere descension. Over 3 billion years have gone in selfishness, It's time to unself our soul and rise as sapiens.”

“Killing a bunch of Jihadis may be morally justified, to save humanity from their wrath, but it won't terminate Jihad for long. Jihad or Holy war would keep festering one way or another, until religious fundamentalism is eradicated from the human society. Until the whole humanity learns to scrutinize its most revered scriptures with the sharp tool of reasoning, Jihad will keep on striking over the world. If one does not have the basic conscientious capacity to refute the primitive textual verses of the scriptures that demand one to kill or torture another being for holding a different belief system than one's own, then that entity is no being of the civilized human society, it is merely a pest from the stone-age. No Quran, no Bible, no Gita, no Cow, is greater than the human self. There shall be hope for harmony and peace in the world, only when fundamentalism is destroyed forever. Harmony is not a luxury, it is an existential necessity of the species. And to achieve it, if a hundred Bibles have to be sacrificed, then be it. But for no Bible, Quran or Gita, can harmony be compromised.”

“For one freakin’ moment, let us be nothing, let us have nothing, let us need nothing, instead let us just be - no name, sect, heritage or tradition - just being a being with infinite possibilities, instead of defining ourselves based on the habits and heritage of our dead ancestors.”

“How to Tell A Human (Naskar Test) How to tell a human from ape, when both look the same? Look for the creature that considers everyone outside their religion a heathen, and everyone outside their culture a heretic - that's a textbook ape. Now look for the being that finds the same human spirit in every culture, religion and nation - that right there, is a rare human specimen. How to tell a human from robot, when both look the same? Look for the contraption that considers everything outside logic, without value - that's a lifeless robot. Look for the soul that knows when to, and when not to, apply logic in life and society - that's a living human.”

“Sapiens (Sonnet 1410) Sapiens is a promise to stand grounded in people, Sapiens is a duty to stand firm on principle. Sapiens is an alarm to wake up from apathy, Sapiens is mindful revolt against inherited atrocity. Sapiens is rightful rebellion against dehumanizing intellect, Sapiens is sentient uproar against puritanism boneheaded. Sapiens is the saintly answer to the clarion call of life, True sapiens is saintly sapiens, all else is desecration of life.”

“Lovely and Beastly (The Sonnet) Lovely on the outside, beastly on the inside, That is the norm of the modern world. Fancy in appearance, yet lousy in sapience, That's what we call civilized and cultured. We are given a world rooted in shallowness, Which screams selfishness in its every act. Enough with this life of nonexistence, We've spent long enough as empty wolfpack. Let us now build our destiny with our sweat, And devil and deity take the hindmost. We shall soar high by serving on the streets, There is no higher life, no greater post. It's ok that we haven't known true civilization. What's not ok is to pass it on through generation.”

“Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 19 It takes awareness to be human, To be animal it takes none. It takes moderation to be human, To be animal it takes none. It takes regulation to be human, To be animal it takes none. It takes restraint to be human, To be animal it takes none. It takes gentleness to be human, To be animal it takes none. It takes humility to be human, To be animal it takes none. Everything civilized starts with awareness. But if you like being animal let go off all restraint.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 54 It is human nature to shed tears in agony, But taking pain to wipe another's tear is humanity. It's human nature to be sad at the loss of something, But giving up all to lift another is humanity. It is human nature to reply harm with more harm, But to stand unbending without violence is humanity. It is human nature to reply argument with argument, But knowing when to lose an argument is humanity. It is human nature to win by dragging others down, But defying competition to live a purpose is humanity. It is human nature to blame disparity on politicians, But to step up ensuring equity in one's area is humanity. Just because it’s human nature, doesn't make it civilized. We shall be civilized when we are no longer hypnotized.”
