If you can’t utter a single word without parroting second-hand thought, my phone deserves more attention than you. Abhijit Naskar | Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
“Sonnet 1480
If you can’t say anything but
my religion says this,
my religion says that,
I got no interest in hearing you.
If you can’t say anything but
science says this,
science says that,
I got no interest in hearing you.
If you can’t say anything but
philosophy says this,
philosophy says that,
I got no interest in hearing you.
If you can’t say anything but
psychology says this,
psychology says that,
I got no interest in hearing you.
If you can’t utter a single word
without parroting second-hand thought,
my phone deserves more attention than you.
But grow up and muster one original idea,
I’ll put aside my writing to listen to you.”

Every Religion is Right Religion (Unscriptured Holiness Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
“Every Religion is Right Religion
(Unscriptured Holiness Sonnet)
Islam* is not the right religion, *peace is.
Christianity** is no right religion, **kindness is.
Judaism is not the right religion, equality is.
Sanatana isn’t right religion, nonsectarianism is.
All scriptures are blasphemy, when peddled
as exclusive, infallible handbook to divinity.
Literature that demands rejection of backbone,
is a lot of things but not material of sanctity.
Every religion is right religion, or none are;
Claiming exclusive rightness all breed cowards.
Every faith is an attempt at divine, or none are;
Claiming monopoly of truth faith forfeits regard.
By saying your religion is the only right religion,
you only prove, your religion is the wrong religion.
Religion as an excuse for separation is always wrong,
till you transcend religion, all faith is delusion.”

Everybody is a terrorist, till you see the reformist (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
“Everybody is a terrorist,
till you see the reformist
(The Sonnet)
Everybody is a president,
till you see the first servant.
Everybody is king kong,
till emerges the first sapiens.
Everybody is marconi,
till you meet the Nikola.
Everybody is prime minister,
till you see the transformer.
Everybody is mercenary,
till you see the tsunami.
Everybody is a godman,
till awakens commoner godly.
Everybody is police,
till comes the vessel of peace.
Everybody is a terrorist,
till you see the reformist.”

You are the gospel you need to read. Abhijit Naskar | Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
“You are the gospel you need to read,
You are the path you need to walk.
You are the torch you need to light,
You are the voice you need to talk.
You are the sight you need to see,
You are the thirst you need to quench.
You are the warmth you need to wear,
You are the drought you need to drench.
You are the muck you need to mend,
You are the wrong you need to right.
You are the storm you need to brave,
You are the fate you need to write.”

I am not creative, I’m just alive (Sonnet 1433) | Abhijit Naskar | Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
“Sonnet 1433
No such thing as an uncreative heart,
If you are alive, you are creative.
Unless cluttered by status quo,
Every heart is by nature creative.
Heart alive is heart creative,
Creativity is a sign of life.
Uncreativity is pulselessness,
Symptom of a heart anemic of life.
I am not creative, I’m just alive,
Creativity is just a byproduct.
If you don’t impose limits of norm,
Every blood vessel is creation-duct.”

One and A Half Ex (Sonnets 1429, 1430) | Abhijit Naskar | Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
“One and A Half Ex
(Sonnets 1429, 1430)
Once upon a time by the Bay of Bengal,
a naive tiger fell for a vain sheep.
The sheep had him eating out of her hand,
only to discard him for another sheep.
The tiger’s world was turned upside down,
abandoning home-n-uni he set out as monk.
Then one afternoon underneath the tree,
the monk awakened to prophetic dimension.
The saintly tiger then returned home,
Lo, commenced his sleepless self-education!
He had already mastered all divine sight,
Now he needed to muster a scientific arsenal.
During his making he met a Balkan xena,
she was everything he could ever dream of.
But the tiger still had plenty struggle ahead,
even for the perfect partner it was too much.
She had a beautiful heart which grew weary,
waiting for a giant with the world on shoulder.
The first whole love of the tiger came to halt,
after four magical years of timeless forever.
Though devastated, unable to think-n-work,
this time this was no longer a naive tiger.
Gloom galvanizes conviction invincible,
Shattered heart makes shade for the world.”

Life’s A Lunar Cycle (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
“Life’s A Lunar Cycle (The Sonnet)
Life is like the lunar cycle,
sometimes it is full shining,
sometimes it is half shining,
other times it goes totally dark.
But one thing is certain,
no one phase lasts forever,
it all just keeps changing,
thus light is sustained
through life’s brief encounter.
The unpredictability of life
is what makes life predictable.
Sometimes it rains cats and dogs,
the next moment sunshine is unavoidable.”

Grow so big with your ideas that you become a threat to every nationalist state in the world. Abhijit Naskar | Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets
“All deserts are born of human coldness.”
“Grow so big with your ideas that you become
a threat to every nationalist state in the world.
Grow so big with inclusivity that you become a curse
to every fundamentalist institution in the world.
Pledge allegiance to no label,
Be absolutely, unequivocally nondual.
Move past even the concept of nonduality,
So that you become unequivocally whole.
Expand, expand, and expand again,
till the world witnesses your human reign.
Expand to serve, expand to love!
Amidst eternal desert be the impossible rain.”

One Mission, Many Vessels (The Sonnet, 1313) | Abhijit Naskar | Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets
“One Mission, Many Vessels
(The Sonnet, 1313)
One thunder, visions plenty.
One mission, vessels plenty.
One source, seekers plenty.
One fate, fervors plenty.
From dust we’re born,
In dust we’re gone.
Cashes to ashes,
Bitcoins in trashes,
Division is nefarious,
Unity is dawn.
The day the billions of people of earth
are valued more than the billionaires,
that day you shall be human being,
that day you are king and queen.
Naskar doesn’t have flag or nation,
My flag is world flag – my nation, world nation.
Call me poet, scientist or humanitarian,
Naskar is the spirit of world integration.”

Grownup Happiness (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
“Grownup Happiness (The Sonnet)
I don’t do Netflix,
I don’t binge for adrenaline.
I find it far more soothing to
listen to old BBC radio shows
while I do my writing.
Happiness is not a matter of exhilaration,
Happiness is a matter of moderation.
Just because all the monkeys are partying,
doesn’t mean you gotta give submission.
So I say, get your priorities straight,
Happiness will take care of itself.
If you don’t know to draw your own lines,
That’s not freedom, but apish descent.
I don’t scroll till I pass out,
I don’t drink till I feel sick.
Happiness means happy-in-less,
Trends don’t bring you peace.”
