“Two Liberties (A Sonnet) There is not one but two liberties, One is savage and the other is civilized. Savage liberty lacks accountability, The civilized one makes us humanized. In the jungle liberty is the supreme law, But one that involves no accountability. Thus injustice is the norm of wildlife, But it can't be accepted in human society. Accountability is the line of control, Between human and animal behavior. You don't need intellect to draw the line, All you need is a well-formed character. So liberty must be guided by accountability, Only then can we create a sane society.”

“Once upon a time there was a wealthy king. He had a huge garden and he employed two gardeners to take care of it. One of them was absolutely useless - he would lazily spend all his time without doing a single work around the garden, but whenever his master visited, he would simply usher him with praise. The other gardener was a humble fellow and rather a quiet one. He didn't talk much, but he worked the whole day taking care of the garden and grew all sorts of beautiful flowers and fruits. Now who do you think would be most beloved to the king! Many people call this king God, I call it nature. And one who takes care of the children of the king is more beloved to the king than the one who does nothing but talks highly of the king.”

“Most people confuse divinity with magic, but here is the reality of the matter - there is no magical or extraterrestrial divinity involved in the affairs of the human world - the divinity that can make any difference in our world is the divinity that we hold in our heart - the divinity which is commonly known as humanity. You may attend a thousand churches and yet die as a divine vacuum, but one who does everything in their power to help others with or without any special inclination for the church, is the very embodiment of divinity.”

“The only way you can see someone turn water into wine without resorting to trickery is if you are already drunk. That’s not the kind of miracle that the world needs - what the world needs is the miracle of kindness - it needs the miracle of acceptance - it needs the miracle of unity in diversity.”
