Humanist Quotes

“I have but one law - I don't exist. I don't have a homeland, I don't have a native tongue, I don't have an origin culture - for you are my home, your tongue is my tongue, your culture is my culture. Those who still want to learn about my origin, could easily find out where I come from and all that nonsense, but as for me, my existence is rooted in you - that's all you gotta know. Nothing else matters, nothing else must matter. I repeat, nothing else must matter. For an earthbound species, I am native of earth - for an interplanetary species, I am native of Milky Way - for an intergalactic species, I am a native of the cosmos - for a lifeform beyond time and space, I am but a speck of carbon-based electrochemical memory.”

“Be advaita (dvaita means dual, prefix 'a' means not), be nondual, be unified down to the last molecule of your anatomy. Become unification incarnate, so that even your silence turns into a potent expression of oneness.”

“No victory, no triumph, no reward, no applause, just oneness, oneness and oneness - that's what the being of oneness is to be drunk with 24 hours of the day – the dream of oneness, the life of oneness, the truth of oneness.”

“Amidst the sea of joy-seeking juveniles, Be the one anomaly that feasts on pain. Seek out the pain among those around, Rush down to heal like monsoon rain.”

“Generation Understanding (Sonnet 2480) No matter what the apes want you to believe, it's not weakness to abandon suspicion, it's not weakness to discard judgment, it's not weakness to practice empathy, it's not weakness to be considerate - it's not misdemeanor to denounce primitive practices that our ancestors thought sensible, it's a sign of wisdom, not stupidity, to admit ignorance, rather than succumb to supernatural. My favorite answer of all is, 'I don't know' - in the absence of rigorous investigation that's the answer I fall back on the most; then there are times when logic is immaterial, there I avoid all mention of knowledge, and take the humane course, despite reason or ritual.”

“Anybody with martial training and engineering skills can be a superhero, but that doesn’t make them a hero. Superhero culture is dangerous, for it facilitates a paradigm of secret identity. And consistent practice of such secrecy eventually ruins an individual's accountability. You don't see soldiers hiding their identity do you, no matter how much they've got to lose!”

“Comic book fans come in many forms - Some attend comicon, Some visit the vatican, Some visit vrindavan. Some bury head in the bible, Some bury head in das kapital. When pages of books are prioritized over humanity, world gets infested with sheeple.”

“Comic book fans come in many forms - Some attend comicon, Some visit the vatican, Some visit vrindavan. Some bury head in the bible, Some bury head in das kapital. When pages of books are prioritized over humanity, world gets infested with sheeple. Mind begins in the wake of chains, Life begins in the wake of sect. A hundred hajj won't make you holy, If your heart is ever cold and dead.”

“Leaders and disciples, queens and subjects, preachers and pupils - all these are a sign of a sectarian society, all these are a sign of a sick society. No queen, no subject - no leader, no disciple - in love all are one, one is all.”

“You are the gospel you need to read, You are the path you need to walk. You are the torch you need to light, You are the voice you need to talk. You are the sight you need to see, You are the thirst you need to quench. You are the warmth you need to wear, You are the drought you need to drench. You are the muck you need to mend, You are the wrong you need to right. You are the storm you need to brave, You are the fate you need to write.”

“You are the gospel you need to read, You are the path you need to walk. You are the torch you need to light, You are the voice you need to talk. You are the muck you need to mend, You are the wrong you need to right. You are the storm you need to brave, You are the fate you need to write.”

“Burn my friend, burn, Burn so bright that the sun gets fried! Shine my friend, shine, Shine so bright that Rudolf goes blind! Smile my friend, smile, Smile so pure that flowers shy away. Love my friend, love, Love so drunk that Rumi himself lays the way. Fly my friend, fly, Fly so fearless that Tagore himself honors you. Live my friend, live, Live so unchained that time makes gospel of you.”

“Ideas Surpass Gold (Sonnet 1530) Most of my boldest ideas are available online without paywall. Which means, you don't need to pay, to integrate my ideas into your life. Since I don't have an industry behind, it does help when you make a purchase. But I never ask no one to buy my books, I'd rather starve than monetize oneness. Soon this body will surpass corporeal chains, monetary demands of living will collapse a lie. I mustn't stain my sacred life craving coins, Ideas must surpass gold to surpass time.”
