Unity In Diversity Quotes

“The Humanity Festival (Interfaith Anthem, 2598-2599) Humanity is the festival, occasions are garments. Beyond the void of us and them, join the circle, break the chains. Festivals are not dates on a calendar, cultures are not places on a map. No festival is sin for no one, there is no culture where we do not belong. Ramadan is the remedy for apathy, Christmas is the cure for animosity, Hanukkah is the antithesis of tyranny, Diwali is the antidote to atrocity. Mercy is no mercy that's reserved for a few, mercy is the light we carry in all we do. The spirit of godliness that we hold inside, is meant to light the world, far and wide. Fasting and feasting turn to futile noise, if life drifts from life, trampling human joys. Candles and fireworks become childish pranks, if underneath them all the kernel is blank. Kindness in our soul, courage in our skin - every person is my people, every stranger is kin. Humanity is the festival, occasions are garments, love is my homeland, heart is my parliament.”

“Pilgrimage to Plurality (Sonnet 2499) Forget the canon, you can't even make sense of my titles, bleating like nationalist livestock, and chanting like brainless bacon - you have to have a certain amount of multicultural tendency, which in a way, is your first test of pilgrimage, moreover, it's the key to the Naskar Canon. If you have no desire to step outside your culture, there's no point in grabbing any of my text, you might as well pick up a chinese or arab text, and expect to be an expert while speaking only English. My script may be English, my language is not - remove your assumptions, transcend your disciplines; it is only through pilgrimage to plurality, that an ape ascends into humanity. My goal is not to replace white supremacy with colored supremacy, or christian supremacy with muslim supremacy, or blind faith with dispassionate logic, I am a stateless weaver of human plurality.”

“Ethnicity is liquor of the apes (Naskaristana 2522) Every nonwhite person speaks two or more languages, every nonwhite person juggles two or more cultures, every nonwhite person comes from a soil seeped in philosophy and poetry - now tell me, how exactly are the whites superior! Here I'm not establishing the nonwhites as superior, all I'm pointing out is this - in sciences white people are not the pioneers, in philosophy white people are not the pioneers, in art and astrophysics whiteys are not the pioneers, in medicine and mathematics whiteys are not the pioneers, then how on earth did you come by this insane inkling that white people are the super race, how many bottles did you have, or did you bang your head against the rocks while making fire! Fact of the matter is, dumbness doesn't have ethnicity, but fanaticism of ethnicity only establishes that ethnicity as the dumbest bunch of apes on earth, whether it's neonazis, zionists, islamists or sanatanuts.”

“Iman Insaniyat, Mazhab Muhabbat - The Song [Intro] Marham na mazhab dekhe, Marham na dekhe mulk. Dunya meri zimmedari meri, This is the Naskar truth. [Verse 1] Jai Insaan, Cheytna Saagar; Jai Vivek, Vidyut Ujaagar. Rise Insaan, Ilaaj Ilaahi; Ana al Haq, Hayaat Peygamber. [Chorus] Ik Onkaar, Satnaam Shahaada; Koi bole paani, koi bole water. Born of ash, deed amartya; Dil on fire, aashiq ananta. Ik Onkaar, Satnaam Shahaada; Koi bole paani, koi bole water. Born of ash, deed amartya; Dil on fire, aashiq ananta. [Verse 2] Vision Viraat, Vajra Avinashi; Na koi dev, na koi daasi. Love is the law, tolerance is anthem; Dervish Divaane, Advaita Ruhani. [Chorus] Ik Onkaar, Satnaam Shahaada; Kisika mai dervish, kisika advaita. Born of ash, deed amartya; Dil on fire, aashiq ananta. [Verse 3 - Spoken] Na koi kaafir, na koi sant; Na andh-vishwas in dharmgranth. Love is my duty, brain is my flame; I'm signpost on the cosmic lane. [Bridge] Border ke paar, har koi yaar; Na koi ajnabi, har din Iftaar. Har ek mulk, mera hi mulk; Har ek culture, mera culture. [Chorus] Ek Insaan, aur ek hi lakshya; Moksh ka matlab ek hi manushya. Dharm se upar Insaan hi satya; Imaan Insaaniyat, Mazhab Muhabbat. Marham na mazhab dekhe, Marham na dekhe mulk. Dunya meri zimmedari meri, This is the Naskar truth. [Verse 4] Karm se hum baney Vishwaroop, Reeti rivaaz sab andhaa jhooth. Naam se Maanav, karm se Marham; Dil na dekhe foreign-sanatan. [Chorus] Ek Insaan, Hoonkaar-e Asmaan; Rag rag Khaalsa, Noor-e Nadaan. No togetherness, no tomorrow; Tum hi ho sooraj, tum hi Insaan! Marham na mazhab dekhe, Marham na dekhe mulk. Dunya meri zimmedari meri, This is the Naskar truth. [Bridge] Khoon nahi, Rehmat pehchaan; Ek hi ummah - saara jahaan! Ek hi kalma - pyar ka peygaam; Jai Insaan, Noor-e Nadaan! Khoon nahi, Rehmat pehchaan; Ek hi ummah - saara jahaan! Ek hi kalma - pyar ka peygaam; Jai Insaan, Noor-e Nadaan! [Final Verse - Spoken] Insaan se ucha na vatan, na khoon, Na koi sanskaar, na koi kaanoon. Rehmat se jiye to har roz ramzaan, Insaan se mile Insaan ka sukoon. [Final Chorus] Jai Insaan, Cheytna Saagar; Jai Vivek, Vidyut Ujaagar. Koi bole water, koi bole paani; Koi bole darvish, koi sanyaasi. Utho Insaan, Marham ka Sagar; Ana al Haq, Vigyan Ujaagar. Koi bole water, koi bole paani; Koi bole scientist, koi bole sufi. [Outro] Marham na mazhab dekhe, Marham na dekhe mulk. Dunya meri zimmedari meri, This is the Naskar truth.”

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
