Interfaith Quotes

“There's not one religion but two, one is commercial religion, rooted in fear, prejudice and bigotry, and the other is lived religion, rooted in kindness and inclusivity - the atheist and the believer drink from the same water, breathe the same air, eat the same food - mother nature, the actual origin of life, doesn't segregate between believer and nonbeliever, it's only the savages who do that.”

“How to tell a human from ape, when both look the same? Look for the creature that considers everyone outside their religion a heathen, and everyone outside their culture a heretic - that's a textbook ape. Now look for the being that finds the same human spirit in every culture, religion and nation - that right there, is a rare human specimen.”

“Pick a drop of blood from your finger, pick a drop from another, smudge it all on the palm of your hand - now tell me, which is which - which is heretic, which is believer - which is the Christian blood, which is the Muslim - which is the faithful blood, which is forbidden!”

“Istanbul to Alpha Centauri, Intolerance is not civility. If you can't tell faith from hate, You are the posterape of infidelity.”

“In 762, to symbolize and propel the new order, Al-Mansur decided to build the grand new capital of Baghdad as a massive round city. The caliph assembled an elite team of the empire’s top engineers, architects, and visionaries—notably including Zoroastrians, Christians, and Jews, such as Mashallah Ibnul-Athari.”

“Iman Insaniyat, Mazhab Muhabbat (Pani, Agua, Water Sonnet) In some circles, I am called a genius, Yet the only genius I know of is service. In other circles, I am branded fraud, Yet the only fraud I know of is prejudice. Saying, you've explored my work, after spending an evening scrolling through a few quotes, is like saying, you've climbed Mount Everest, after spending an evening scrolling through pictures of the Himalayas. Yet I can tell you who I am, I don't need a million lines but one. Iman insaniyat, mazhab muhabbat*; Pani, agua, water, it's all one. Take my Bible, Koran & Vedas, Take my Origin of Species. Throw me to the fires of hell, My life will still smell of roses. (*faith humanity, religion love)”

“No Other, But One (Naskaristana 2503) Some say tawhid, some say advaita, some say ubuntu, some say divinidad. Tawhid doesn't mean all other gods are false, tawhid means it's all one god. Divinity doesn't mean mortal must submit to divine, divinity means mortal and divine are one. Divinity done properly dissolves the self, poetry done passionately dissolves the self, neuroscience done honestly dissolves the self. Shallow theology fights science, deep theology becomes it. Shallow science fights spirituality, deep science becomes it.”

“Mundo Mi Monasterio (Imanjali, Sonnet 2344) Patriot beyond nation, religious beyond religion, cultured beyond culture - that's a complete human. Conscience is my CV, Biodata, Bulldozer, Revolution, my resume, Citizenship, Earthistana. Hindistan bana can verdi, Amerika bana şan verdi, Türkiye bana kalp verdi, ve Dünya bana amaç verdi. En sevdiğim kitap Mesnevi, en sevdiğim şair Mevlana, en sevdiğim dil Türkçe - yinede derviş, şair, hepsi sonra, öncelikle ben insan, iyilik benim iman; mundo mi monasterio, annihilation my azan.”
