I write because my mind succumbs
to psychosis, if I don't write.
I don't write to sell books,
I write because I fall to pieces, even
at the thought of not being able to write.”

“Selfishness is the enemy. And all peddlers of selfishness are my enemy. Anyone who wastes more food than they share with those who are starving is my enemy - anyone who throws away more clothes than they give away to those without is my enemy - anyone who wastes more time in frivolous acts of enjoyment than they spend in helping those in need is my enemy - for they are the cause of all disparities in the world. I don't hate them, for I renounced hate long ago, but as a human it’s my duty to bring them down to earth while lifting the fallen up to their rightful place under the sun.”

“Hola, Soy GORA (The Sonnet)
Hermanas y hermanos, hola, soy GORA,
Guerrero, Observador, Reformador, Amante.
Thus speaks the human practicing humanity,
Despite all agony, no retrocedas oh valiente!
To the helpless, destitute and discriminated,
I am but a nameless servant most humble.
To lift the fallen and make them self-reliant,
Is the purpose of my life, straight and simple.
Beware o peddlers of hate and bigotry,
Get hold of your prejudice and hysteria!
When calm, reformist mind brings light,
When enraged, it is the fabled chupacabra!
Each conscientious being is reform incarnate.
From your humane struggle never you deviate.”

“I chose to take the weight of the world on my shoulders, but you don't necessarily have to. If you can't take the weight of the world on your shoulders, take the weight of your nation - if you can't take the weight of your nation, take the weight of your city - if you can't take the weight of your city, take the weight of your neighborhood. Start small but start somewhere - take responsibility for the issues of your immediate vicinity if not the whole world, and the world will change, slowly but surely.”

“To me everyone is equal, until they feel the urge to offer advise based on some stroneage tradition. That moment, I stop considering them as equal humans, and start treating them as adolescent children. Whenever you feel the audacity to advise a reformer, ask yourself this - what exactly have you done for the society that makes you qualified to judge a reformer? I sacrificed my youth for the world. What have you done? I put off starting a family for the world. What have you done? I obliterated my national and cultural identity for the world. What have you done? Till you've abolished the last trace of active bigotry, intolerance and fanatical fantasies from your mind, don't you dare touch my work. Everybody can quote Naskar, not everybody can accompany Naskar.”

“Dear li'l governments (The Sonnet)
Dear li'l governments of the world,
You don't have a friend in me,
If people are not your priority.
You don't have a friend in me,
If you thrive on inequality.
You don't have a friend in me,
If you're partial to one religion.
You don't have a friend in me,
If you're founded on nationalism.
Dear li'l governments of the world,
If you know what's best for you,
Walk the course of integration.
If you choose tribalism instead,
In me you'll find your abolition.”

“Visvabiotic (The Sonnet)
Human is bandaid to human burn,
Human is ointment to human yearn.
Human is morning to human mourn,
Human is cure born of human churn.
Human is Altair to human Vega,
Human is aloe to human vera.
Human is pilgrim to human mecca,
Human, Poly-B to social septicemia.
There is no fancy heaven,
only a good fervent human.
There is no book of god,
only a brave godly person.
Human is piety to prejudice barbaric.
To all inhuman hate, Human Visvabiotic.”

“He was an awkward mixture of strong moral impulse and restless aesthetic curiosity, and yet he would have made a most ineffective reformer and a very indifferent artist. It seemed to him that the glow of happiness must be found either in action, of some immensely solid kind, on behalf of an idea, or in producing a masterpiece in one of the arts.”

“World is My Brotherhood
(Sonnet 1616)
No neighborhood without brotherhood,
No sainthood without martyrdom.
Martyrdom doesn't mean dying in body,
but to be lost in others' ascension.
You're born with a human backbone,
Don't let it be vilified by cowardice.
Backbone responsible is backbone honored,
Backbone responsible is antidote to malice.
World is in your care, carry it with grace.
No bigger disgrace than backbone bending!
Find a cause that honors your human backbone,
Humans can break, while animals bend for nothing.
Stars-n-stripes, union jack, all trivial,
for the world is my neighborhood.
I got no brotherhood of cult or creed,
for the world is my brotherhood.”

Still it strikes strain on mind at times.
That's where reformer stands out in crowd,
No strain clouds long a mission-driven mind.”
