“No Other, But One
(Naskaristana 2503)

Some say tawhid,
some say advaita,
some say ubuntu,
some say divinidad.

Tawhid doesn't mean
all other gods are false,
tawhid means it's all one god.

Divinity doesn't mean
mortal must submit to divine,
divinity means mortal and divine are one.

Divinity done properly dissolves the self,
poetry done passionately dissolves the self,
neuroscience done honestly dissolves the self.

Shallow theology fights science,
deep theology becomes it.
Shallow science fights spirituality,
deep science becomes it.”

“Tawhid doesn't mean all other gods are false, tawhid means it's all one god.”

“India Beyond Saffron
(Sanyasi Scientist Sonnet)

Ananta (Eternity) knows no foreign-sanatan,
either Hindutva or Human -
saffron was never the color of India,
India is the most spectacular rainbow
among the ancient of civilizations.

There is not one but two India,
Animal India and Human India -
Animal India carries Gita like Gun,
Human India celebrates Diwali,
breaks bread on Iftar,
and sings Merry Christmas, with Gurbani.

An Indian is pluralism personified,
take away pluralism, and you're left
with a monkey draped in saffron.”

“Pilgrim of Language (Sonnet)

How will you know if you
can speak another language?

If you can curse someone
on impulse without memorizing,
you got the language in your gut.
If you can console someone in pain,
the language nestles in your heart.

No es necessario que hablar guapisimo,
solamente necessario que hablar amable.
All those pedestals of language levels,
a, b, z, and what not, are elitist garbage.

Chase after form,
and you'll miss the soul -
throw yourself into the soul,
and neurons will regrow.

Forget grammar, forget vocabulary,
let the language seep into your bloodstream.
In a world infested with medal-seeking mules,
stand odd, stand ablaze, a drunken pilgrim.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“The Uncultured Idiot (Sonnet 2501-2502)

My roots run deep down to the core of earth,
spread across the bones and marrow of the human race.

Starting out with an insatiable spark of expansion,
I spent my early teens devouring scriptures,
then my late teens and early twenties I spent
assimilating neuroscience and psychology,

but it wasn't until my late twenties,
a few years after my first publication,
that the original Naskarian voice started
to awaken, a voice not only beyond nation,
religion and culture, but also beyond
eurocentric intellectual convention.

So many things were unfolding in my mind
at once, that it's impossible for me to
piece together a coherent timeline of events.

But one thing was most striking, it's that,
influence of the puny eurocentric schools of thought
was beginning to wear off, as cultures of the world
found an ideal vessel with zero chains of tribalism.

I became empty and let the world pour its wonders
into me, so it did, and I burn day in, day out, and
each time from the ashes a new pluralist text is born,
blasting all archaic, elitist and exclusivist narrative.”
