“Awakening to faith is not a one-time event, but a continuously unfolding reality. The journey of faith is not a race, but a marathon of love that each person walks at a different pace.”

“We don't need to believe in a grand design to be good people, but we do need to be good people to create a grand design. It's neither about atheism, nor about the so-called religiousness - rather it's about plain, ordinary humanness.”

“At Abraham's burial, his two most prominent sons, rivals since before they were born, estranged since childhood, scions of rival nations, come together for the first time since they were rent apart nearly three-quarters of a century earlier. The text reports their union nearly without comment. "His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre, in the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites."
But the meaning of this moment cannot be diminished. Abraham achieves in death what he could never achieve in life: a moment of reconciliation between his two sons, a peaceful, communal, side-by-side flicker of possibility in which they are not rivals, scions, warriors, adversaries, children, Jews, Christians, or Muslims. They are brothers. They are mourners.
In a sense they are us, forever weeping for the loss of our common father, shuffling through our bitter memories, reclaiming our childlike expectations, laughing, sobbing, furious and full of dreams, wondering about our orphaned future, and demanding the answers we all crave to hear: What did you want from me, Father? What did you leave me with, Father?
And what do I do now?”

“Like many streams finally meet in the sea, we are all born of nature, and ultimately disperse into nature, our identity, our memory, emotions, everything - then the only place we exist is in the memories of other people, whose lives we might have influenced in some way.”

“Sonnets to Write Before I Sleep
(The Sonnet)
When I finished my first 1000 sonnets,
I felt, now I shall take it slow.
But now at the finishing of second 1000,
I feel, I gotta write thousands more!
The first thousand took me four years,
the second thousand took me two years,
all without an ounce of industry support,
I am the sole maker of my literary empire.
Sonnets are my vessel of reason,
Sonnets are my bearer of justice.
Sonnets are my medium of divinity,
I'm my sonnets - antidote to malice.
Proof of poetry is in the spirit,
Proof of justice is among the just.
Worlds to unite before I sleep,
Proof of life is in standing guard.”

So long as there is selfishness,
There is no Christmas.
So long as there is occupation,
There is no Hanukkah.
So long as there is cruelty,
There is no Ramadan.
Till we end militant atheism,
There is no Humanism.
Till you conquer superstition,
There is no Diwali.
So long as there is division,
There is no Vaisakhi.
So long as there is inequality,
There is no Fourth of July.
Till we abolish hate from earth,
At half mast all flags must fly.”

“Letter to My Soldiers
I am only the beginning - the beginning of a new kind of humans - humans who belong to not one culture, but many cultures - humans who speak not one language, but many languages - humans who study scriptures and science with equal enthusiasm, yet pledge allegiance to neither, and know how to use both in the benefit of humanity - humans who aim for neither belief nor disbelief, but warmth and understanding - humans who are more concerned with the real hard problem of inhumanity, than the outdated hard problem of consciousness - humans who sacrifice their life treating the real hard question of hate, rather than the mythical hard question of god. I am only the beginning - the first spark, if you may - the best are yet to come.”

“Plenty Room For All (The Sonnet)
Turban, Hijab, Habit or Tuxedo,
Wear whatever feels like second skin.
No need to justify to judgmental apes,
Life's too short to be wasted on fiends.
Let them just fade away,
as vestigials of evolution.
Savagery requires treatment,
not serious consideration.
To be treated as a human being,
One must behave as human being.
Faith, intellect, both are poison,
If the heart remains ever so mean.
There's plenty room for all thoughts,
No matter the measures of books 'n brain.
Fiction, reason, all are welcome,
On my earth where but love reigns.”

Enthusiasm of the Christian,

Mind expands through assimilation.
Past errors mustn't continue as tradition,
Oneness is divinity, division is damnation.”

“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.”

“Till integration becomes life, life will lead to disintegration.”
Source: The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo
“Please don't compare me with your militant atheists - in their intellectualist world there is no place for anything that cannot be logically explained, whereas the world I dream of, is built upon a healthy interaction between facts and fairytale. I want it to be a living planet for living beings, not a giant data center packed with computers with feet. If all we needed was facts, the world would've become a utopia the moment computer was invented. Likewise, if all we needed was fairytale, the world would've turned into a paradise the moment sanskrit, hebrew or klingon was invented. There can be no lasting peace and harmony, until facts and fairytale work hand in hand, while boldly rejecting blind superstition, as well as cold logicality.”
