“My life is the best book I’ve written, rest are just spoils of my pilgrimage.” Abhijit Naskar, The Divine Refugee

My soldiers are my gift to cosmos,
archaic narrowness is no match for them.
I got martyred in the making of a life,
to shine as beacon for generations to come.

My life is the best book I’ve written,
Rest are just spoils of my pilgrimage.
Embark as explorer transcending words,
Service to the world is truest of homage.

Get so drunk with incorruptibility,
you emerge a walking Wardencliffe.
Get so drunk with accountability,
no Rorschach can analyze your spirit.

Today’s choice is tomorrow’s instinct,
Choose peace today, tomorrow it’s norm.
Yesterday’s choice is today’s instinct,
Give in to hate, and the jungle goes on.

When Convention is Contaminated – Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

Brain cannot survive the vacuum of space, mind cannot survive the vacuum of time – so the body produces spinal fluid for the brain to float, and the brain produces beliefs for the mind to survive. But while the immune system keeps the spinal fluid sterilized of infection without conscious intervention, brain does nothing to keep beliefs sterilized of prejudice, unless you make it a habit to question convention.

Choose to fight physical infection or not, your body will do it for you, but as for psychological contaminations, you have to fight them yourself – the faculties are already carved in your brain circuits, but you have to be willing to use them, defying the comforting fantasies of convention, that’s how an ape evolves into human.
