― J. Cornell Michel, Jordan's Brains: A Zombie Evolution

“I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being--neither white, black, brown, or red; and when you are dealing with humanity as a family there's no question of integration or intermarriage.

― Walter Hooper

“How to Tell A Human (Naskar Test)

How to tell a human from ape, when both look the same?

Look for the creature that considers everyone outside their religion a heathen, and everyone outside their culture a heretic - that's a textbook ape.

Now look for the being that finds the same human spirit in every culture, religion and nation - that right there, is a rare human specimen.

How to tell a human from robot, when both look the same?

Look for the contraption that considers everything outside logic, without value - that's a lifeless robot.

Look for the soul that knows when to, and when not to, apply logic in life and society - that's a living human.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“My brain is multilingual,
my heart is multicultural,
my life is multidimensional,
I exist for I dissolve in all.

You barely speak one language,
ramble doctrines from one dead book,
can't see beyond the customs of your tribe,
yet you say, your truth is the cosmic truth!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“I exist for I dissolve in all.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

but the salt is the same.

“Homing Pigeon (Sonnet 2311)

I'm a homing pigeon,
and I'm homing in on integration -
and since there is no such thing,
I'm building my homeworld person by person.

I'll never force you to be inclusive,
if you do harm, I'll restrain you,
but I'll never resort to weapons -
moreover, I'll never kill for inclusion,

I'll simply beg, on my knees,
I'll beg till I drop dead -
because I have nothing to lose,
no reputation, no image, no class -

either love outlasts hate
or extinction outruns evolution.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“Sonnet 2500

You're right, I am not a poet,
I have not written hundreds of poems;
you're right, I am not a writer,
I have not written a couple of books.

I'm sorry, I am not a poet,
I have not written hundreds of sonnets,
I have written thousands -
I have not written a handful of books,
I have erected a library.

You do not have the scales
in your two-dimensional intellect
to measure the multidimensional
Ecosystem of Expansion -

larger than tribe,
larger than time,
I am Detonation of The First
Multicultural Civilization.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

Patriot beyond nation,
religious beyond religion,

Conscience is my CV,
Biodata, Bulldozer,
Revolution, my resume,
Citizenship, Earthistana.

Hindistan bana can verdi,
Amerika bana şan verdi,
Türkiye bana kalp verdi,
ve Dünya bana amaç verdi.

En sevdiğim kitap Mesnevi,
en sevdiğim şair Mevlana,
en sevdiğim dil Türkçe -
yinede derviş, şair, hepsi sonra,

öncelikle ben insan, iyilik benim iman;
mundo mi monasterio, annihilation my azan.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat
