“Humanitarian Industrialization

Fourth industrial revolution my eye! We haven't yet recovered from the disparities produced by the first, second and third industrial revolutions. Morons keep peddling cold and pompous dreams devoid of humanity, and morons keep consuming them like good little backboneless vermin. Grow a backbone already!

We always look at the glorious aspects of industrialization and overlook all those countless lives that are ruined by it. But it's okay! As long as we are not struck by a catastrophe ourselves, our sleep of moronity never breaks - so long as our comfort is unchallenged, and enhanced rather, it's okay if millions keep falling through the cracks.

So long as you can afford a smartphone that runs smooth like butter, it doesn't matter if it is produced by modern day slave labors who can't even afford the basic essentials of living. With all the revenue the tech companies earn by charging you a thousand dollar for a hundred dollar smartphone, they can't even pay decent wages to the people working their butt off to manufacture their assets - because apparently, it is more important for the people at the top to afford private jets and trips to space, than the factory workers to afford healthcare, housing and a couple of square meals a day.

And this you call industrialization - well done - you just figured out the secret to glory without being bothered by something so boring as basic humanity.

I say to you here and now, listen well - stop abusing revolutionary scientific discoveries in the making of a cold, mechanistic, disparity infested world - use science and technology to wipe out the disparities, not cause them. Break free from your modern savagery of inhuman industrialization, and focus your mind on humanitarian industrialization.”

“Islamophobia doesn't disappear simply because you choose to close your eyes. Can you stand by a dehumanized muslim, against the bigoted barbarians of your own culture, and speak out at the top of your voice and conviction - I am a muslim, just as much as I am a christian - I am a muslim, just as much as I am a jew - I am a muslim, just as much as I am a buddhist - hindu - or atheist? Can you? Because, until every threat to the welfare of the dehumanized humans actually, genuinely, internally feels like a threat to your own family, no phobia will ever come to an end - no hatred will ever face demise. Till every culture, every country, every corner of the planet, becomes our own culture, our own country, our own home, there is no peace, there will never be peace. And this, my friend, is called practical divinity, practical sufism, practical nondualism, and practical humanism. Or better yet, this is the ism beyond all isms - this is the ism that concerns the life, laughter and loveliness of the entire humankind - this - is humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo

“All say, what religion is Naskar! Naskar says, what religion is the sun!”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo

“All say, what religion is Naskar!
Naskar says, what religion is the sun!
Some name it alshams, bazıları güneş, algunos sol,
All bask in the same light, varied though the tongue.

The seas are torn apart, continents broken to pieces,
All are still hypnotized by the war-cry of yesterday.
Castrated by ritual the mind has evaporate long enough,
Invigorate the mind now, let the rituals evaporate instead.

Belief and disbelief all are but creeds of kindergarten,
At the university of life, life is but life's religion.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo

“Sonett 1019

Zeit ist Illusion,
Nur Liebe ist echt.
Und wenn die Liebe unwirklich ist,
Ist sie mehr wert als
Alle Fakten.

Leben ist Liebe,
Gott ist Liebe.
Geist ist Liebe,
Die Welt ist Liebe.

Entweder ist alles Liebe,
oder es gibt nichts.
Entweder sind wir alle Liebende,
oder wir sind nichts.

Alle Zeit ist Illusion,
es sei denn, sie ist eine Dokumentation der Liebe.
Das Leben ist nur Illusion,
bis es ein Instrument der Liebe ist.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo
