Religious Harmony Quotes

“Why I am Human (The Sonnet) Some explain why they are catholic, Some explain why they are atheist, Some explain why they are muslim, Some explain why they are socialist. Some explain why they are jew, Some explain why they are buddhist, Some explain why they are hindu, Some explain why they are humanist. I heard plenty people explain, Why they are what they are, But I'm yet to hear one person say, First I am human, all else later. What is this mad obsession with all the ism! Why can't we be just human, plain and simple!”

“Weapons are essentially the invention of science, be it our modern nukes or ancient swords and arrows. Yet most of the bloodshed throughout history has been blamed totally upon religion, without a single mention of science being a party to it. If religion has done harm, so has science. If science has done good, so has religion. The fact of the matter is, neither science nor religion is the cause of good and evil in the world, they are merely an excuse. It's the human mind that's the root of all good and evil - science and religion are merely accessory to the intention.”

“Helper is Herald (The Sonnet) Every peacemaker is muslim, Every lover is christian. Every helper is buddhist, Every lifter is human. Every lovenut is sufi, Every braveheart is latin. Every collectivist is jew, Every secularist is advaitin. All labels are futile, If there's no substance underneath. Focus on substance as a whole being, Leave the labeling to the elite. The helper is the herald, the lifter is the light. In a world with double vision, selflessness is the only sight.”

“A Jew may say, Hebrew is the language of god. A Christian may say, Aramaic is the language of god. A Muslim will say, Arabic is the language of god. A Hindu will say, Sanskrit is the language of god. I only know that kindness is the language of a human.”

“The time has come for a new religion, not yet another organized cult or sect, but a disorganized, undoctrinated religion - the religion of common goodness - the religion of valor and virtue - the religion of non-religious kindness and nonspiritual holiness.”

“Sonnet of Intolerance Intolerance and religion don't go together, If they do, you are a far cry from being religious. Intolerance and science don't go together, If they do, such science is just modern hogwash. Intolerance and philosophy don't go together, If they do, you are a dickhearted intellectualist. Intolerance and humanism don't go together, If they do, you are a far cry from being humanist. Intolerance and intellect don't go together, If they do, such intellect is all blade, no handle. Intolerance and wisdom don't go together, If they do, you are but a sophisticated vandal. Anything that is civilized helps abolish intolerance, If it doesn't, it is yet another prehistoric nuisance.”

“Science and Religion (The Sonnet) Science and Religion have no feud, Both are expressions of naturalism. The real feud has been between, Intellectualism and fundamentalism. Facts help us take the world forward, Reason helps us treat primitiveness. But facts and reason alone won't do, Without warmth all matter is lifeless. Of course there are flaws in religion, In science too there's greed and bigotry. If in religion we have extremist nuts, We also have plenty of scientific bully. Instead of picking on each other's mistake, Let us be human across intellect and faith.”

“Heart Humanish (The Sonnet) I am but a simple sufi, What'll I do with applause! If you want to give something, Lend a corner in the heart of yours. I am but a fumbling fakir, What'll I do with all the gold! Only with the touch of a kind heart, We shall bring prosperity in our world. I am but an ignorant dervish, I don't know much ayat and psalm. All I know is, love is the breath of life, Without it, all progress is harm. Rituals and intellect all will perish, What will live on is the heart humanish.”

“After spending most of my life in the observation of religions and beliefs, I have come to one realization - we cannot make a civilized and secular world by talking about religion, we can do so only by speaking of kindness, dreaming of kindness and living of kindness.”

“Sonnet of Paths Science means nothing, Unless we use it to lift the society. Philosophy means nothing, Unless it empowers humanity. Religion means nothing, Unless it advocates for inclusion. Technology means nothing, Unless it aids in collective ascension. Tastes are plenty in our world, So are the paths that humans take. But if those paths hold no humanity, Fabric of civilization will soon break. Placing on humanity our prime attention, Together we’ll attain true emancipation.”

“Once upon a time there was a wealthy king. He had a huge garden and he employed two gardeners to take care of it. One of them was absolutely useless - he would lazily spend all his time without doing a single work around the garden, but whenever his master visited, he would simply usher him with praise. The other gardener was a humble fellow and rather a quiet one. He didn't talk much, but he worked the whole day taking care of the garden and grew all sorts of beautiful flowers and fruits. Now who do you think would be most beloved to the king! Many people call this king God, I call it nature. And one who takes care of the children of the king is more beloved to the king than the one who does nothing but talks highly of the king.”

“Ultimately, beyond the primordial, brutish labels of man-made institutions, true practical religion of the civilized society must bring oneness. This very process of unification without bigotry is what makes religion, religion, for the word religion comes from the latin "religare", which means "to bind", that is to unify humanity.”

“We don't have the luxury to say that, there is no hope for reform in Islam, because by saying this, we would be disavowing the entire peace-loving Muslim population of the world. We cannot leave our Muslim sisters and brothers behind to be oppressed by their own priestly tyrants, while the rest of the world keeps progressing with an open mind. The entire civilized society of the world, must put their heart and soul to get Islam liberated from the shackles of fundamentalism. Conscience must triumph over orthodox barbarianism, otherwise there would be no hope for the progress and wellbeing of humanity as a truly wise species.”

“What is Divinity (The Sonnet) Hands joined in prayer ain't no divinity, Hands stretched in help are true divinity. Saying grace before meal ain't divinity, Graceful kindness is the actual divinity. Marking a cross on yourself ain't divinity, Crossing out the self for others is real divinity. Confessing errors to a preacher ain't divinity, Correcting errors by yourself is true divinity. Selling glories of a dead messiah ain't divinity, Refusing all glory to lift another is real divinity. Sitting cross-legged in meditation ain't divinity, Standing up bold against injustice is true divinity. Divinity never comes from bible, marvel or vatican. Burn yourself for others, and you'll know salvation.”

“Forgive Us Jesus (The Sonnet) Forgive us Jesus, my friend, We couldn't walk in your footsteps. You asked us to love our neighbor, Yet we found it impossible to be hateless. You didn't hate those who hated you, You loved them despite being mocked. Yet we can't even talk without judging today, We can't accept any difference in thought. Forgetting all comfort and luxury, You gave your life trying to erase bigotry. Yet we made you fodder for our own prejudice, And turned the crucifix into a badge of cruelty. We used you my friend to deepen our division. We prefer mindless worship over hearty compassion.”

“Get Well Soon (The Sonnet) Upon absorbing all cultures into my blood, I realize, the supreme culture is love. Upon studying all scriptures as my own, I realize, the supreme gospel is love. Even after speaking six languages, I say, the supreme language is love. Upon observing all political ideologies, I say, only ideal worth submission is love. Unfolding the neural underpinnings of behavior, I realize, seed of civilization is love. Unraveling the cellular mysteries of life, I realize, existence oughta be a record of love. Tiny-brained know-it-alls will still yell, their culture beats all, like some tipsy loon. To which all I can say is - get well soon!”

“Love is Not A Christian Thing (The Sonnet) Love thy neighbor is not a christian thing, Love stuck in barriers stays love no more. Shalom, ahava, simcha are not jewish concepts, Peace, love and joy constitute life's core. There's no christianity, there's only love, There's no buddhism, there's only compassion, There's no naskarism, there's only humanity, There's no humanism, there's only assimilation. Faith that raises walls within the mind, Is faith of the prehistoric savages. Faith has a place in civilized society, Only if it helps break assumptions and barriers. Let us come together across faith and culture. Let us be companions in each other's adventure.”

“Sonnet of Festivals Christmas isn't about the decorations, It's about compassion. Hanukkah isn't about the sufganiyot, It's about amalgamation. Ramadan isn't about the feast, It's about affection. Diwali isn't about the lights, It's about ascension. Our world is filled with festivals, But what do they really mean? Celebrating them with cultural exclusivity, Makes us not human but savage fiend. Every festival belongs to all of humanity, For happiness has no religious identity.”

“If you believe, God is the supreme creator of everything, then God is also the one who gave you a brain. Use it. Likewise, if you know that we have evolved from the apes through natural selection, then you should also know about the fascinating mental faculty we developed alongside reason, called empathy. Use it.”

“Keep your belief if you must, but keep it as belief, not as truth - that is, keep it only, and only, as a personal truth, and not a supreme truth. Contrary to tradition, this doesn't make your truth inferior to that of others, instead this seemingly simple behavior of the human mind paves the way for an actual world of peace - a world where more personal truths can coexist in harmony without belittling each other.”

“I am the wind, I just want to flow amongst the people without any barrier. I have no desire to prove the supremacy of facts where there's no need. Some days you may find me in the church taking part in the choir and singing out loud praising my humanitarian predecessor most enthusiastically. Other days, you may find me talking shop with a bunch of atheist scientists. I am in everybody, everybody is in me.”
