Life is Nonbiblical, Truth is Nonbinary (Sonnet 2349-2350) – Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

Atheism is a white european invention,
outside the shortsighted gutter
of eurocentrism there are people who don’t
need to believe in a creator to be holy,

you can be sacred without being superstitious,
the human world is teeming with such cultures
where life is holy, duty is holy, laughter is holy,
but of course your whitewashed, eurocentric
little intellect cannot fathom nonduality –

that’s why you mustn’t confuse intellect with wisdom,
some of the brilliant minds are first class idiots,
their binary brains have zero capacity for nuance,
they confuse the backwater fiction-centric narrative
of the church to be the entire lifespring of theology,

so naturally, either they believe like sheep
or reject like robot, because in a world of sheep
and cyborgs either there is god or there is not,
either you submit to blind faith or icecold logic,
there is no place for heart, humanity and tolerance!

Not Christ, but church doctrine was
a major downgrade in theology existing
hundreds and thousands of years prior,
at the same time, european reductionism
was a major downgrade in a wholesome
life-centric understanding of truth.

We need a life-centric understanding of truth,
not truth-centric understanding of life –
we need a human-centric realization of divine,
not divine-centric realization of human.
