“History of the world written by colonizers is no different from map of the world made by flat earthers.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“The Naskar Controversy (Sonnet 2525)

... I am controversial because I ask for tolerance,
I am controversial because I’m integration incarnate,
I am controversial because I call for humanity,
at the expense of both faith and facts.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“My Planet, My Duty
(Sonnet 2526)

My sonnets, my rules -
my science, my rules -
my life, my ethics -
my body, my choice...

my divinity, my design -
my truth, my decision -
my society, my justice -
my planet, my duty.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“Naskargen (Sonnet 3000)

It all started with a promise -
Liberty is my religion, Humans are my God;

... I entrust my promise upon you,
my promise, my rebellion, my madness -
if there is not a single Naskar in sight,
be the Naskar of your generation.”
― Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“(2522) Dumbness doesn’t have ethnicity,
but fanaticism of ethnicity only establishes
that ethnicity as the dumbest bunch of apes on earth,
whether it’s neonazis, zionists, islamists or sanatanuts.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“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.

Castrated by ritual mind has evaporated long enough,
Invigorate the mind now, let rituals evaporate instead.”
- Naskar

― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

"Bible is the downfall of Jesus, catholic church is the original sin, it’s the british empire of organized religion, with Uncle Sam as the ideal successor to both cartels.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“Neurovision (Sonnet)

Mind is one big lie,
unless you examine everything.
Life is one big blind spot,
unless you question everything.

... All prejudice comes with a flag,
all discrimination comes with a badge.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

"Let there be gods – not one, not three, but billions upon billions – let each human be a god unto themselves – without fear, without prejudice – without superstition, without cynicism – let each mind rise triumphant over malice.” ― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

“If a tree falls in the forest, but
nobody hears it, did it really fall!

... If democracy is dismantled piece by piece,
but by government decree, is it really illegal!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

"Anatomy of Conspiracy
(Sonnet 2094-2095)

... Conspiracy, superstition, conventional or newage, it’s all about control, either self-inflicted or institutionalized... Keep your mind open, just not so open that your brain starts leaking – an empty attic is a primate’s olympus.”
― Naskar, Neurosonnets

"Science of Life, Class in Session
(Sonnet 2087-2088)

... in nature, nothing’s born, nothing dies, they just change shape, and some of those shapes are sentient, some intelligent, some neither – and each identity gets restructured, which includes restructure of sentience, or non-sentience." Naskar

“DNA & Race (Sonnet)

... There is no genetic test for ethnicity –
science declares sanctions on racism, not validation.

There is no White DNA, Black DNA.
no Muslim DNA, Jewish DNA.
We’re made of stuff of the stars,
why do you still rot in the jungle gutter!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

“I shall call you all human,
the day you bring down all borders,
like you brought down the Berlin wall...

If you can’t be a tsunami, be a flash flood –
if you can’t be a flash flood, be a garden hose,
and wash away the inhumanities around you.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

“Any engineer can tell the voltage of a battery from taste, but only a humane engineer knows how to put each volt and amp to humanitarian use. The burnt fingertips count for something, only when your innovation is catalyst for good.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

“What is Science, What is Holy (Sonnet)

There is no greater spiritual journey
than the rejection of prejudice.

... There is no greater scientific achievement
than simple science solving big problems.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

“(2050) Selma to Montgomery, from river to the sea,
We stand guard, with no weapon but our dignity.
Reason is our ark, love is our compass –
Colored, White, Muslim and otherwise, together
we shall overcome – All Awake to Humanity!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

“(Forest Fascist Reserve, Sonnet)

... Colonials go home, not to England
or Europe, but straight to the jungle!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

“Pick a drop of blood from your finger, pick a drop from another, smudge it all on your hand – now tell me, which is which – which is heretic, which is believer – which is the Christian blood, which is the Muslim – which is the faithful blood, which is forbidden!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

“Children of South (World Sonnet)

... Human poverty in the global south is
manufactured by the northern apes.

... Humans of Earth everywhere, all rise ‘n roar,
the first global goal is to fire the fascists.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

“Brain is there to think first,
then take a side,
but society teaches you to
pick a side first, then think alike.

In a world of flexible
spine and rigid mind,
muster an unbending
spine with expanding mind.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

“Rx for Fascism (Sonnet)

Gaza is not for sale,
Greenland is not for sale,
Ukraine is not for sale,
Canada is not for sale.

... Fascism, fundamentalism and nationalism,
these are the ultimate mental illness.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

“By race we are all african,
by birth we are all feminist,
by nature we are all lovers,
by suffering we are all poets.

Bella ciao, we’re not going back
to the jungle, not ever, not now.
Hate not permitted while I stand,
this, is the original divine vow.”
― Naskar, Neurosonnets

“The Final Enigma (Sonnet 2002)

Consciousness contains the cosmos,
cosmos contains consciousness...

Neurons are the birthplace of order,
within neurons order comes to end.
Neurons are the root of mindlessness,
as well as the instrument of mend.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

“Be happy, don’t tell anyone.
Go places, don’t tell anyone.

Your happiness doesn’t need
anybody’s stamp of approval.
Happiness kept private is
happiness invisible to the jungle.

What the jungle cannot see,
the jungle cannot destroy.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

“Law of Nature is its lack of meaning,
as well as its lack of morality.
We needed an image to bear the blame,
and be the imaginary steward of our destiny.

True godliness lies in behavior, not belief.
Hand of God unfolds when human takes the steed.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

“Neurosonnet 2001

Neurons giveth,
neurons taketh away.
By neurons we forge self,
with neurons we fade away.

... Neurons are the birthplace of God,
Neurons produce all ghosts and goblins.
Life is a concoction of neurochemistry,
Boon and bane are both our own making.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets

“All the problems of organized religion and newage spirituality could be solved with one little change in mindset - never declare as fact what works as metaphor, metaphor is mightier than magic.”
