“When heart is frozen, all prayer is amiss.” Abhijit Naskar | Iman Insaniyat, Mazhab Muhabbat: Pani, Agua, Water, It’s All One
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.

If I Wrote God (A Naturalist’s Letter) | Abhijit Naskar | Neurosonnets: The Pocket Book of Consciousness
If I wrote God, they’d would be
kind and gentle, not vengeful and jealous.
Freedom of choice would be first commandment,
preventing wrongs they’d stand righteous.
They’d refuse to entertain suffering,
their grand design would epitomize equality.
Sure, their world would still have problems,
but it would be spared from ungodly atrocity.
Law of Nature is its lack of meaning,
as well as its lack of morality.
We needed an image to bear the blame,
and be the imaginary steward of our destiny.
True godliness lies in behavior, not belief.
Hand of God unfolds when human takes the steed.

The God Commandment (Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets
Love who you like,
stay single if you choose.
Have kids when you like,
or abort if you choose.
Keep god or not as you need,
convert to whatever you like.
There is no other grand design,
except a beautiful human mind.
What you believe or don’t is of no
consequence, one true god or another.
Imaginary friends are often therapeutic,
just don’t thrust your friend on another.
In my heart there is Mecca,
in my heart there is Bethlehem.
Humans come first, gods are disposable,
human choice is the God commandment.
