“There's no difference to the outside world between a good guy and a bad guy behaving like a good guy. In fact, I think God loves that second guy a little more.”

“Mind is My Mecca (Sonnet) Wanna touch God? Touch a life in pain. Person becomes holy by helping another without gain. The world needs missionaries of love, missionaries of reason, not mercenaries of organized religion, out to harvest convert vegetation. I was born of dust, I live as flame, for I choose to be human, not a dead name. Not lords and ladies, not dukes and dames, mind stands beacon stripped of cages lame. Human is the one who asks no one to kneel; go, walk the earth not to evangelize, but heal. To be holy is to carry a candle, not sermon; mind is my mecca, soul is kindness in motion.”

“People ask me to set up charity, so they can donate money - but here's the thing, I don't want your charity - if you want to support what I do, you can do so by getting a few books, if you have the money to do greater good, go out and do good at the grassroots.”

“Questions like “Is this normal?” or “Am I weird?” reveal how deeply the concept of being “normal” is embedded in the subconscious of the ordinary majority. They don’t mean “Is this ordinary?” or “Am I a product of a photocopy?” when they ask these things, of course. In fact, they are not even consciously trying to conform to norms, even if their words might suggest otherwise. It is simply that they have internalized the association of the word “normal” with the idea of “good.”
