“Himalayan Sonneteer Sonnet 2
Just like every family needs a pillar,
Every generation needs a rock.
All may sprinkle salt on each other's wounds,
You for one, be the ointment to the epoch.
Be the foundation stone to civilization,
Be the walking measure of human character.
You are the definition of sapience,
You are the very definer.
Let no law define your duty,
Let no scripture determine goodness.
Let no ancestor imprison your identity,
Expand, explore and usher into sentience.
You are the illusion, you are the truth.
When evil hangs heavy, you gotta blow your fuse.”

“Qi, Atman, Sentience, Corazon,
All are but varied names of humanity.
Put superstitions aside and you'll find,
Just plain goodness is the supreme epitome.”

“They say, scientists are the new priests. Well, most priests leave things to god - we don't - we are gods. And not just us scientists - every human who takes responsibility for their society, is a living god. Even a priest can be god - those rare few who inspire their parishioners to be god-like rather than god-fearing. Whether you believe in the supernatural, that's irrelevant. The question is, are you mindful of your duties to the natural world?
The difference between creator and creation is in responsibility. The creator takes responsibility, the creation delegates it. What are you?”

“Science is service - if you don't get this, you are not a scientist, but a glorified con-artist.”

“To realize there is no grand design,
Doesn't make us traitor to heritage.
It only makes us more alive to life,
It makes us infinitely more responsible.”

“Human am I, Human are you,
Difference in-between is pure fiction.

“Kainat Calling (The Sonnet)
I'll take your leave now,
Kainat is calling -
Ain't gonna stay amidst
your narrowness no more.
You conquered moon,
you'll conquer mars,
yet what's the point,
when your heart is
still beastly sore!
Break your sleep, o drowsy doofus,
Wake up to the auspicious joyville!
Where love and light are supreme law,
Wake up to that valley of joy and zeal!
Everyday is Christmas there,
Everyday is Ramadan and Juneteenth.
Stay in your archaic muck if you like,
I gotta go now, Kainat calling!”

“End of Fear (Sonnet 1172)
Where the end of fear ends all barrier,
Where biases no longer run amok,
Where end of assumption sets forth ascension,
Where heritage no more wreaks havoc,
Where the head is without bent,
and the heart is never skint,
Where the spine is without dent,
and the eyes are without squint,
Where Christian, Muslim, Sikh 'n Jew,
sit and share a cup of stew,
Where Buddhist, Atheist, Jain, Hindu,
live and laugh as one life crew,
There beyond, where sentience lets no storm to brew,
Out of the fossil, into the fervor, I shall meet you.”

“Jai Ho (Sonnet 1165)
Jai Ho to all the beings,
Who ain't hypnotized with hate!
Jai Ho to all the beings,
Who ain't living in cavemen days!
Jai Ho to the luchadors,
Who struggle por la igualdad!
Jai Ho to the reformers,
Who value rights over ritual!
Space may be the final frontier,
But heart is the first frontier.
Unless we first conquer the heart,
We'll turn the cosmos into dumpyard.
So I salute, to all explorers of heart!
Jai Ho to the janitors of our cosmic courtyard!”

“What’s The Difference (Sonnet 1037)
If a scientist has no humility,
what's the difference between
a scientist and a computer!
If a doctor has no warmth,
what's the difference between
a doctor and a butcher!
If a teacher has no curiosity,
what's the difference between
a teacher and a circus trainer!
If a filmmaker has no originality,
what's the difference between
a filmmaker and a photocopier!
If a cop cannot practice self-correction,
what's the difference between
a cop and an executioner!
If a theologian has no integrative spirit,
what's the difference between
a theologian and a mumbling parrot!
If a modern human cannot balance reason and warmth,
what's the difference between a sentient human
and a creature from the swamp!”

“Discipline of the Sikh,
Enthusiasm of the Christian,
Brotherhood of the Muslim,
Nonviolence of the Jain,
Clarity of the Buddhist,
Groundedness of the Hindu,
Rationality of the Atheist,
Resilience of the Jew -
Take the good from everyone,
Mind expands through assimilation.
Past errors mustn't continue as tradition,
Oneness is divinity, division is damnation.”

“Not aim for nondivision, we gotta start from nondivision - not aim for secularism, we gotta start from secularism - not aim for harmony, we gotta start from harmony.
Harmony is the starting point - integration is the starting point - universal acceptance is the starting point. It is this simple, yet why do we complicate it with so much intellectual jargon, like existentialism, empiricism, humanism and so on!
Why can't the human simply be human!
A real existentialist pays attention to existence, not to existentialism. A real empiricist pays attention to the rightful use of empirical evidence, not to mere empiricism. A real humanist pays attention to a life of human substance, not to shallow theoretical concepts like humanism.”

My imaginary friend is my late teacher,
And I find it therapeutic to talk to him,

to prove whose imaginary friend
bears the greatest of might.”

“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.”
