“Thus Speaks God (The Sonnet)
Ik onkar, satnaam,
Porque, yo soy insan.
Aham bismillahsmi,
Çünkü, benim adım vicdan.
Sarva dharman parityajya,
Giving up all national grave,
Nos haremos vessels of verdad,
Rise we shall as sapiens brave.
Divinidad está en cada cultura,
But no culture is pure divinity.
Human divided is human undivine,
Hatelessness is civilized divinity.
Thus speaks God in tongue beyond tongues.
One vessel isn't enough to contain my neurons.”
― Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission

“Infidelity is the first sign of religion,
Disbelief is the sign of practical divinity.
Birth of a question is the birth of understanding,
To question division is to practice humanity.”
