Visvavictor Quotes

“Manhood Diaries (The Sonnet)

Onun için cennet ol, cehennem değil.
Vicdanlı bir adam ol, hayvan değil.
Sé una bendición para ella, no una maldición.
Onun yaralarına ilacı ol, tuz değil.

Be her paradise, not prison.
Be her man, not master.
Be a miracle to her maladies.
Be her crown, not custard.

There is no alpha male and beta male,
There is only man and baboon.
Decency defines a man's character,
Not the virility of his heirloom.

Partner on the streets,
Slave between the sheets,
That's what a real man is.
Undaunted in danger,
Uncompromising in calamity,
That's what a real human is.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“Take off your clothes and post a selfie,
A million animals will shower you attention.
But cover up all and open your heart,
Only precious few humans will care to listen.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“Sociologically speaking, American democracy is the perfect specimen of a dysfunctional democracy. When a supremacist president incites racist hate and terrorist violence, out of bigotry and boneheadedness, his stoneage supporters consider it a matter of pride, but when an egalitarian president so much as mispronounces a few words due to his medical stammer, he is deemed incompetent by those people. Which only goes to show, no matter how much a nation tries to right the wrongs of its inhuman origin, there will always be some people who'd consider those inhumanities as their proud heritage, and would go to any length to maintain those customs and beliefs as such. And this is not an American phenomenon, it's a worldwide phenomenon - and everywhere it manifests under the same banner of tradition, heritage and nationalism.

That is why I say to you - until we oust every last trace of nationalism from every corner of this world, we shall never in a million years have a genuinely integrated and upward-moving society. Either nationalism or humanity, you cannot have both - either borders or peace, you cannot have both - either guns or children, you cannot have both - either heritage or history, you cannot have both.

If history comes as a blow to your heritage, then by all means, live in your bubble - but do so as a prehistoric ape disconnected from the civilizing world. You cannot call yourself a civilized human and at the same time refuse to acknowledge human suffering. Your uncivilization may be your prerogative, but before you turn that uncivilization into the norm, you shall find a hundred MLKs, Baldwins, Mayas and Naskars standing as obstacle to your insanity.”

“At some point in life you lose interest in new devices, new clothes, new trends - and it dawns on you, what's really important in life, is people. That's when you really start living.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

to break the fast of apathy,

Not the virility of his heirloom.”

Break out as dinosaur when situation demands.
When serving and learning make self nonexistent,
When facing bigots do your narcissistic dance.”

Either way we remain ever so afraid,
Never to be our own President elect.”

“I am not woke, I am not a feminist, I am not a freethinker - I am just human. I am human, that's why I prioritize rights over ritual - I am human, that's why I value conscience over custom - I am human, that's why I listen to the living rather than the dead.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“To err is animal, to correct is human.”

“Hijab and Habit (Sonnet 1185)

Hijab and Habit are both
symbols of sacred humility,
Yet the latter receives respect,
while the former faces cruelty.

Christ is a revered figure to the muslims,
Yet muslims are frowned upon by christians.
Most christians are plain unchristian,
They are the cause of Christ's crucifixion.

In the world of animal holiness,
Crucifixion continues in different form.
Bigotry once killed a vessel of love,
His pupils continue the hate and harm.

I have zero tolerance for intolerance,
whether from intellectual atheists
or mindless fundamentalists.
Facts and faith both gotta earn admittance,
by causing not crippling humane uplift.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“People boast about having a gentle soul. I'll tell you right away, I am not gentle, I am the pinnacle of everything that is violent in nature. Yet nobody has ever seen me violent - you know why? Because gentleness is not the absence of violence, gentleness is the mastery over violence.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“English is my second language,
My first language is love.
Neuroscience is my second sense,
My first sense is love.
Theology is my second faith,
My first faith is interfaith.
Philosophy is my second nature,
My first nature is to assimilate.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“How do we erase phobia from the world? First make a name for yourself, then associate that name to everything the world is ignorantly afraid of. In a pavlovian world where rating-hungry separatist media has conditioned the people to subconsciously relate every act of terror to a specific community, use your life to decondition the world - stand as the first human who is not afraid of humankind. That's why I say - I am a muslim poet, a humanitarian scientist, a latin lover, and an advaitin monk - I am an alternate dimension - an immeasurable dimension - where human oneness takes preference over animal separateness.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“Hate only keeps traveling round the world, until one person chooses to break the cycle.”

despite your occasional cockups.
Those who hate you, will hate you
despite your evident triumphs.”

Be her man, not master.

Be her crown, not custard.”

Slave between the sheets,
That's what a real man is.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

Some people have a vacant lot for a heart.
Some people's mind has full-on vacancy,
Some people's vacancy is in spinal cord.”

“Analyze like a scientist, plot like a politician, execute like a soldier. Don't expose your faculties, unless absolutely necessary - better sober pretending drunk, than drunk pretending sober.”

“Sieg Heil and the rest (Sonnet 1162)

Some shout Sieg Heil,
Some shout Jai Hind.
Some Star Spangled Banner,
Others God save the fiend.

Only the language differs,
Jungliness remains the same.
Even in an integrating world,
Some maintain the habits lame.

Once upon a time,
they might have had some value.
Today they are just anachronism,
Kept alive by apes without clue.

If you are still enraged,
how dare I compare
Sieg Heil with the rest!
Study the history unvarnished -
behind every tribal salute
you'll find a holocaust equivalent.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“Sonnet 1154

Hate only keeps traveling round the world,
Until one person chooses to break the cycle.
War only keeps migrating border to border,
Until one nation chooses to break the cycle.

Our ancestors handed us hate as heritage,
Like good little apes we embraced it as honor.
Never for a moment we paused to ponder,
How one stupid prejudice leads to another!

We have the capacity to conquer the stars,
Yet we've chained ourselves to the graveyard.
In the guise of prehistoric patriotism,
Apes made a paradigm out of hate and hurt.

Such paradigm belongs in bin -
it's time, the cycle breaks.
Bomb the world with music,
pizza and poetry you idiots,
not Semtex, C4 and RDX.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat
