Oneness Quotes

“No matter how many years go by, how many decades, how many centuries, there'll always be some people who'd call me a fraud - don't be upset, don't hold a grudge - nothing good ever comes out of bearing grudge, just let them be - let them be and let them go, because I forgive them.”

“The Power that knows the way will take care of you. The One who makes the sun shine, the grass grow, the apples grow perfectly on apple trees. The food that sustains us, nourishes us, everything has been lovingly provided for us. Have faith. Trust the Power that knows the way. This is a first step. To have total faith and total trust in the Infinite, the One. You may call this God if you want to. Makes no difference what you call it. It is within you. It is without you. It is everywhere. (p. 195)”

“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.”

“Beyond Inclusion (The Sonnet) It is not really inclusion that we must aim for, Rather we must work to outgrow the need for inclusion. It is not really global harmony that we must aim for, We must outgrow the very term international relations. It is not really a reform in policy that we must aim for, Rather we must aim to outgrow the need for policy aids. It is not really social awareness we must aim to advocate, Rather we must be the living epitome of social oneness. It is not a flea market of parties that we must aim to build, Rather we must turn the very term partisanism obsolete. It is not a junkyard of ideologies that we must aim to raise, Absorbing good from all, let us stop being ideological elites. Plenty of time we have wasted on arguments of philosophy. Now let's go out on the streets and soil to get our hands dirty.”

“The Being is The Bridge (The Sonnet) I came to life at Dakshineswar, At Kapadokya I got my sight. I found my might at Shaolin, At Liberty Island I came to light. In Pernik I bathed in love, By the Volga I tasted sapience. Lika taught me the role of innovation, Sudbury gave me the sail of science. Streets of Calcutta showed me suffering, Streets of Chicago reminded, I'm the answer. It's not the place but people who hold magic, Revolution rose when all of them came together. You won't know me as the father of a nation. You'll know me as the maker of amalgamation.”

“Sacred Feminines and Holy Fathers (The Sonnet) Listen you all discrimination-vaalo, No matter how much you whine and wallow, To obliterate all hateful bone and marrow, Lo comes a generation of caballera, caballero! Not a trace of dominant fear and anxiety, Not a particle of self-centric practicality, Lo come the bravehearts made of thunder, Lo come the true preservers of humanity! Breaking free from all that is old and rotten, Overcoming all drives of untamed tribalism, Lo come the sacred feminines of creation, Lo come the holy fathers of nondivisionism! Though divided by thought, still united by heart, Grab these new nerves, give yourselves a jumpstart.”

“How I Get My Ideas (The Sonnet) You wanted to know how I get my ideas, The universe speaks to me. You wanted to know how my words appear, The soil and the air hand them to me. You asked how do I speak for every culture, I listen to the heart beyond the word. You asked how am I not bound by geography, Long ago I turned my inner walls into dust. You said to me that I should have some fun, I'll indeed have fun when the fallen are lifted. You wanted to know why do I care at all, That's because I am an alive human not an insect. Instead of asking why and how a human acts human, If there is no such being around why not be the first one!”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 75 Let me hold your hand, Let me be your home. Here, take my heart, Heart to heart life is honed. There is no I, only Us, There is no Us, only I. Sounds confusing, right! Because Love is across all Us and I. In love all of me is you, In love all of you is me. In love it's all messed up, The sweetest mess we could ever be. So come, let's be messed up together. Perhaps then things might get a little clear.”

“If I Must Die (The Sonnet) I have no desire to die as just, Another writer like that bard fella. If I must die as a writer, I will die as, The first multi-cultural writer en historia. I have no desire to die as just, Another founder of a sect or nation. If I must die as something, I'll die as, One of the founders of human unification. I have no desire to die as just another, Coldhearted scientist or pompous philosopher. If I must die as a scientist and philosopher, I'll die as the one who made love truth's driver. But above all that, I have no desire to die, period. Cowards die, whereas I, am already martyred.”

“Dervish Advaitam Sonnet Aham dharmam, aham daivam, Aham qurban for bhoolokam. Aham nyayam, aham shastram, Aham the end of all divisionism. Aham prakriti, aham pralayam, Aham the seed of all causality. I am life, I am death as well, Life to love ‘n death to inhumanity. To most people family is the world, But to me the world is family. Because I am accountable for all life, I am the epitome of collectivity. All that is civilized starts with me. Aham brahmandam, aham brahmasmi. (aham: I am, dharmam: duty, daivam: divinity, qurban: sacrificed, bhoolokam: kingdom of earth, nyayam: justice, shastram: gospel, prakriti: nature, pralayam: apocalypse, brahmandam: universe, brahmasmi: almighty)”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 94 How will you know you’ve realized love? When people no longer appear at a distance. When they no longer appear as people, But as reflection of your own essence. When the other becomes I, I becomes universal. In that universal I all that there is, Is an echo of the people. The I is in all people, But people are not in all the I. That is why we suffer so much, That is why we all cry, cry and cry. If one dies thinking of people, They will live on through people.”

“Your Culture is My Culture (The Sonnet) With infinite love brimming in my heart, I have arrived at your doorstep. Please, I beg you, do not turn me back, Let me in, so I may be one with your footstep. It's not my fault, I wasn't born in your culture, Yet I've assimilated your culture as my own. Please do not throw me out my dear friend, Standing together our powers will be honed. I may not speak your native tongue, I may not be familiar with your way of life. But do you not smile like me when in joy, Like me do you not shed tears when in strife! Here I stand at your door with my arms stretched. Hold it with affection or chop it off if you so elect.”

“I'm No Poet (The Sonnet) I thought I could bear the title poet, But as it turns out, I cannot. I can barely bear the title of scientist, Let alone adding another next to it. Each title feels like a burden herculean, My heart cannot function with such burden. If I am to create works of life and wholeness, I must be free from titles, sane and insane. My ideas are not born of mere thought, If they were, there wouldn't be any torment. My work comes from a land beyond labels, A place deeper than thought can penetrate. So you may call me whatever you like. In my mind, I am but a nameless light.”

“Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere alikuwa baba kwa familia yake. Kwa Tanzania alikuwa mlezi; wa ndoto ya haki, amani, uzalendo, ujamaa, na uhuru.”

“Our entire system, both technical and mental, tends towards oneness, identity and totality, at the cost of an extraordinary simplification. And the whole of our metaphysics and all our neuroses chart the evils and confusions that ensue from that simplification. But duality is indefectible. It is totality that falters in the more or less long term. Any political, economic, moral or mental system that achieves this even virtual totalization, that achieves this kind of perfection, either automatically fractures or duplicates itself to infinity in a simulacrum of itself. Everything that comes close to its definitive formula or its absolute potency can only repeat itself indefinitely or produce a monstrous double - whether it be terrorism or clones. There is never any equilibrium state or state of completion that cannot suddenly be destabilized by a process of automatic reversion. Everything which offends against duality, which is the fundamental rule, everything which aims to be integral, leads to disintegration through the violent resurgence of duality - or in conformity with the principle of evil, whichever you prefer. It is duality and reversibility which everywhere govern the principle of evil. It is duality, liquidated everywhere, conjured away by all possible means, that restores an absence and an emptiness that are generally submerged by a total presence. It is duality that fractures Integral Reality, that smashes every unitary or totalitarian system by emptiness, crashes, viruses or terrorism.”
