A heart measurable is no heart at all,
For a heart that expands not, is dead.
Love sensible is no love at all,
Love that makes sense is love of the dead.
Raise your head, reach out with heart,
And the whole world will fall at your feet.
Better senseless in love than loveless in logic,
Heartiness is no forte of the intellectual elite.
It is far better to fall in love and suffer,
Than to spend your life as a farmer awaiting rain.
Scars of love are not scars but the elixir of life,
Life without such suffering is a life gone in vain.
Regret not that you suffer in love, regret if you don't.
I'd give up all my brains for a moment of love's angst.

The candle’s purpose is to be lost in light,
The heart’s purpose is to be lost in love.
The ocean may try the sailor all it wants but,
The naive sailor is lost in the ocean’s love.
The sailor and the sea are not two but one,
The candle and the light are not two but one.
The heart and love are not two but one,
Individual and collective are not two but one.
Purpose of human is conquest over the inner animal,
Purpose of a human is the expansion of humanity.
Everybody grows old, not everybody grows up,
To die without growing up, is the greatest tragedy.
Life is too short to be wasted on half-cocked may be’s!
Cast fiction to the wind, and make the most of reality.

I do the best of my writing,
When I don’t feel like a writer.
I create the best of my philosophy,
When I don’t feel like a philosopher.
I write the best of my poetry,
When I don’t deem myself a poet.
I publish the best of my science,
Walking just a pilgrim of knowledge.
Labels we hold dear often hold us captive,
So do not take the acronym for the act.
Designations can’t contain the designated,
Move past the noun and let the verb enact.

Pride that ends with the end of June,
is but an episode of looney tunes.
Divergence that dies with April’s wake,
is no inclusion but bark of buffoons.

Black history that ends with the end of February,
is not solidarity but a hashtag cacophony.
Women’s history that ends with the end of March,
is no celebration but a sacrilege of equality.

When AAPI are only visible in the month of May,
It ain’t no visibility but a mockery of life.
When nativeness is welcome till October 15th,
It ain’t integration but desecration of light.

Awareness is justice when it reduces prejudice.
But one that’s trendy only in specific months,
is no awareness but a different kind of malice.

Acceptance is awareness, awareness is life.
100 calendars fall short to celebrate mindlight.

When you are humble and simple, the entire world knocks on your door to bask in your light. But when you are too full of yourself, one after another you’ll keep losing life’s most priceless treasures – those that really matter.

अहं ब्रह्माण्डस्मि।
意識は宇宙です。
의식은 우주다.
Eres conciencia, eres el cosmos.
Gönül görmezse göz de görmez.

To put all this plainly – consciousness contains the cosmos. Once you feel this in your heart, all the answers, all the solutions, all the light will boldly pour out of your nerves and veins like monsoon rain.

But one thing you must remember –
what the heart doesn’t feel,
the eyes cannot see.
And there is no greater obstacle
to vision than rigidity.

Grow so big with your ideas that you become
a threat to every nationalist state in the world.
Grow so big with inclusivity that you become a curse
to every fundamentalist institution in the world.

Pledge allegiance to no label,
Be absolutely, unequivocally nondual.
Move past even the concept of nonduality,
So that you become unequivocally whole.

Expand, expand, and expand again,
till the world witnesses your human reign.
Expand to serve, expand to love!
Amidst eternal desert be the impossible rain.

Forgetting head, heritage ‘n sanity,
I have placed you heartmidst.
I know not much prayer nor poetry;
When heart is frozen, all prayer is amiss.

We don’t need to believe in a grand design to be good people, but we do need to be good people to create a grand design. It’s neither about atheism, nor about the so-called religiousness – rather it’s about plain, ordinary humanness.

Unleash yourself as love testament,
Be the answer to archaic derangement.
Stand undaunted despite cancelment,
Apes cannot cancel Mount Everest.

Unleash your spine,
Unfurl your fervor.
Awake to humankind,
your eternal harbor.

Anchor yourself in rights,
Rituals can take a back seat.
Rights decreed by jungle rituals,
are no parameters of civil spirit.

Either you succumb to the world,
or expand so vast that
the world succumbs to you.
Dare past time with your dream defiant,
fabric of reality will unfold through you.

Enter a hall with high
ceiling, and you feel small,
in a room with low ceiling
you feel like a giant.

The height of human
doesn’t depend on numbers,
we judge our height
relative to the world around.

Bigots hate an inclusive world
not because it is unorthodox,
but because it reminds them,
how puny they are – how small.

Hence they lash out at an island
of people, as an island of garbage.
Only garbage are those calling others
as such – time ’tis to hand them sentence.

I never hankered for booze or drugs,
you know why – because I’m already drunk,
with the most hard-hitting, brain-altering
contraband in history – I’m ever consumed
with languages and cultures.

Latin Passion, Turkish Woundlight,
Nordic Thunder, Celtic Wonder, Afro Grit,
American Ambition, Arabian Adamance,
Chinese Ingenuity, Indian Nonduality –

like rivers running eager to meet in sea,
cultures converged to bring me to life.
I am vast beyond the spell of tribe,
I am the ruin of all resurging reich.

Call it Reich, Empire or Uncle Sam –
Zionist State or Hindu Rashtra –
Animal Kingdoms are found everywhere, still,
reason is to reichs what phenyl is to floor.
