Philosophy is subordinate to love,

Every soul alive is a soul wounded.
Human history is a history of hate,
Isn't it time to dump all that torment!”

“CROWN OF INDIA
written by: Zaki Ansari
@ZakiAshkim
Sweets of Eid and holy
Christmas cake and langar at Gurudwara
everything pleasant for me
Hindu, Muslim or belong to any religion
loving humankind is pleasant for me
there is a bit of suffocation in the new atmosphere
somebody spreading the poison of hatred
now, it seems to me
of course, we may have new things. There is no averse
but the old form of my nation is more pleasant for me
any religion, any faith or anyone
Everyone loves this soil
It’s a mother for everyone
dwell affection among all the children
a mother feels happy, it seems to me
blood stain of children on the land
no mother can like it, it seems to me
what will our generation’s inheritance be?
it depends on us
What kind of nation do we want to build?
it depends on us
but we all have to keep that in mind
That’s most relevant, it seems to me
the only crown of culture & etiquette of ganga jamuni
suits on India’s head & it’s pleasant for me
Hindu, Muslim or belong to any religion
loving humankind is pleasant for me
the only crown of culture & etiquette of ganga jamuni
suits on India’s head & it’s pleasant for me
Hindu, Muslim or belong to any religion
loving humankind is pleasant for me”

“Heil Hitler, God save the king, Vande Mataram, Patria o Muerte - it's all the same - a declaration of tribal glory, with no concern for the rest of humanity. Such archaic attitude suits a bronze-age society, not a civilized one. It's time for Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (world is family), not Vande Mataram (hail the motherland) - it's time for Mundo y Vida (world and life), not Patria o Muerte (homeland or death) - it's time for Humans save Humanity, not God save the king.”

“My most soulful words come from me as a sufi (muslim) poet, my most righteous words come from me as a humanitarian scientist, my most passionate words come from me as a latin lover, and my most humane words come from me as an advaitin (nondualist). The entire world is contained in my chest. Vilify a single culture, and you vilify me.”

“I am sick and tired of hearing, the universe knows best. If the universe knew best, no child would cry of hunger. If the universe knew best, no young girl would fall victim to human trafficking. If the universe knew best, nobody would have to struggle till death to feed their family. If the universe knew best, not a single person would ever become a refugee. If the universe knew best, not a single human being would have to suffer on the face of earth. Any universe or god that allows for such horrors to teach humanity lessons or whatever, got to be extremely sick. Insects from the sewers deserve more respect than such sick forces.
The reason these horrors take place is that, contrary to all cowardly beliefs, there is no higher force concerned with human welfare. If we want these horrors to end, we gotta take the initiative to end them ourselves, without relying on prehistoric fairytales. So, stop all that supernatural nonsense, and take some responsibility for the world you live in. Stop delegating your human duties to a fictitious force and stand civilized wielding your backbone for a change.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 15
I am the craftsman,
I am the craft.
I am the artist,
I am the art.
I am the infinity,
I am absolution.
I am impossibility,
I am the solution.
I am the just,
As well as justice.
I am equality,
As well as its means.
There's always a way, so long as I exist,
And I exist wherever there's a Universalist.”

“Chrismadan (The Sonnet)
What happens when two ancient cultures come together!
They create a spectacular specimen called dervish advaitin.
When mistletoe and menorrah combine, heart shines brighter,
Beyond belief 'n disbelief, there's a land most enlightening.
Keep your outdated sectarian identities to yourself,
I am Jewistian, Hinduslim, or simply Human Universal.
Be the next civilized step of humankind's evolution,
Not just another savage vessel of mistakes ancestral.
Revitalized by Ramadan, humanized by Christmas,
Let's celebrate Chrismadan, as well as Hanukkawali.
Instead of carrying on as second-hand savages,
Habibi come, let us start living with humanity!
When all religions combine, a modern human is born.
Without integration there is no dawn, just endless mourn.”

“Heaven’s Janitor (Sonnet 1024)
Pick up a broom, not bombs,
Wield a mop, not weapons
of mass destruction.
Sacred minds make sacred society,
Peace comes when the very thought
of arms causes repulsion.
Heart is heaven,
Heart holds the Qi.
No magic, no myth, nothing supernatural,
just a whole lot of humanity.
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.
Mop all menacing inhumanity out of your heart.
And society will be cleansed of all primeval dirt.”

“More muslims die from Islamist extremism than any other people. So don't you dare tell me, Islam is the same as Islamism! Islam is a people, Islamism is a sickness, just like Christianity is a people, Christian nationalism is a sickness - Hinduism is a people, Hindutva is a sickness - Atheism is a people, militant atheism is a sickness. And unless the peaceloving humans from each of these communities reach out to one another with a hand of integration, the nutcases from each of these communities will drag us all down the road of death and despair.”

“Islamophobia doesn't disappear simply because you choose to close your eyes. Can you stand by a dehumanized muslim, against the bigoted barbarians of your own culture, and speak out at the top of your voice and conviction - I am a muslim, just as much as I am a christian - I am a muslim, just as much as I am a jew - I am a muslim, just as much as I am a buddhist - hindu - or atheist? Can you? Because, until every threat to the welfare of the dehumanized humans actually, genuinely, internally feels like a threat to your own family, no phobia will ever come to an end - no hatred will ever face demise. Till every culture, every country, every corner of the planet, becomes our own culture, our own country, our own home, there is no peace, there will never be peace. And this, my friend, is called practical divinity, practical sufism, practical nondualism, and practical humanism. Or better yet, this is the ism beyond all isms - this is the ism that concerns the life, laughter and loveliness of the entire humankind - this - is humanity.”

“Why do you think I make zero mention of the culture I was born and raised in? It's because if I am to build a world where civilized beings would behave civilized and step across cultural bigotry, I must stand as the anomalous specimen of that possibility myself - I must stand as the ultimate global citizen - as a sapiens of earth, not of borders. Hence, I wiped out every last trace of identity imposed on me by the environment. Today I stand as the Himalayas - many cultures will claim exclusive copyright over me, but no single culture is vast enough to contain me.”

“Thus Speaks God (The Sonnet)
Ik onkar, satnaam,
Porque, yo soy insan.
Aham bismillahsmi,
Çünkü, benim adım vicdan.
Sarva dharman parityajya,
Giving up all national grave,
Nos haremos vessels of verdad,
Rise we shall as sapiens brave.
Divinidad está en cada cultura,
But no culture is pure divinity.
Human divided is human undivine,
Hatelessness is civilized divinity.
Thus speaks God in tongue beyond tongues.
One vessel isn't enough to contain my neurons.”

“Himalayan Sonneteer Sonnet 9
I don't obey the law,
I write them.
I am the school where reformers,
And public servants learn the rudiments.
I don't follow science,
I am science.
I am the university where scientists,
Shrinks 'n philosophers develop sapience.
I believe in no God,
I am walking Godliness.
I am the cosmic record that makes,
Monks and theologians grow sentience.
I am the end of all half-knowledge,
I am the beginning of sight beyond sight.
Whoever finds me in their heart's mirror,
Can never be tamed by apish fright.”
