“Aşkoholic/Amorholic, 3112-3114
(Divine, Ethics and STEM)

All my youth I've done science,
now let me stay drunk, don't wake me up,
let me drift into my final slumber,
smoking, blazing, smoldering with love.

Prose I know not, nor do I know poetry,
I know no pslam, I know no surah -
you keep your cute rhyme and meter,
your cruel equations and dead dogma,
let me go rack and ruin -
costume, custom, all be cinder.

Substantially advanced spirituality
is indistinguishable from science,
and substantially advanced science
is indistinguishable from spirituality.

What good is science that can't refuse to make bombs!
What good is faith that can't refuse to hate!

Almost every scientist rejects pseudoscience
most vehemently, yet when it comes to warfare
very few seem to have the backbone to denounce it -

a sufficiently advanced scientist
eventually refuses to indulge in warfare,
not advanced in years or intellect,
but advanced in accountability,
and a truly holy person eventually
refuses to convert people.

In the garden of love the gardener is the flower,
STEM without ethics is fanaticism with glitter.
I am the equation, solved by neither faith nor intellect -
spin of my particles unsung by LHC,
essence of my being unspliced by CRISPR.”

“A caterpillar doesn't just grow wings to become a butterfly, its entire anatomy gets reorganized, from a crawling insect to a flying wonder, including its neural pathways, the same must happen to the tribal ape, to become a civilized human.”

“A caterpillar doesn't just grow wings to become a butterfly, its entire anatomy gets reorganized, from a crawling insect to a flying wonder, including its neural pathways, the same must happen to the tribal ape, to become a civilized human. Creation is the aftermath of combustion, enlightenment is the aftermath of annihilation.”

“Obedience doesn't civilize a planet, sacrifice does - Naskar's work is almost done, I wonder who's gonna come next - who's gonna be the Second Naskar, and the Third, and the Fourth - I'm not interested in who'll carry my bloodline, I'm interested in who'll carry my madness, my madness for tolerance, my madness for oneness - I wonder, who's gonna be the next Naskar!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Aşkoholic: Portrait of A Human

“Either burn me, or burn with me, I want neither sheep nor mice. Body born of mud dissolves in mud, one person's sacrifice jolts a planet back to life.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Aşkoholic: Portrait of A Human

“I'm not interested in who'll carry my bloodline, I'm interested in who'll carry my madness, my madness for tolerance, my madness for oneness - always flawed, but never rigid, always making mistakes, but also correcting themselves, never without blind spots, but no blind spot worshipped as truth - tolerant of harmless make believe, but never of harmful blind belief, activist of humane reason, not elitist logic.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Aşkoholic: Portrait of A Human

“Ilim al-Insan (Sonnet 3101-3102)

Truth is the letter,
I am only the postman.

One postman snuffeth,
another cometh -
no message is magnum opus,
no messenger final prophet.

Either burn me, or burn with me,
I want neither sheep nor mice.
Body born of mud dissolves in mud,
one person's sacrifice jolts a planet back to life.

Obedience doesn't civilize
a planet, sacrifice does -

Naskar's work is almost done,
I wonder who's gonna come next -
who's gonna be the Second Naskar,
and the Third, and the Fourth -

I'm not interested in who'll carry my bloodline,
I'm interested in who'll carry my madness,
my madness for tolerance,
my madness for oneness -

always flawed, but never rigid,
always making mistakes,
but also correcting themselves,
never without blind spots,
but no blind spot worshipped as truth -

tolerant of harmless make believe,
but never of harmful blind belief,
activist of humane reason, not elitist logic.

I wonder, who's gonna be the next postman!
I wonder, who's gonna be the next Naskar!”
