because everything is a theory.

everything is perception, nothing is reality.”

“Book Bans Are Dumb
(Sonnet 1587)

Book bans are dumb,
It makes the mind numb.
If banning books were justice,
Middle ages would've been fun.

I’ve got Mein Kampf on my shelf,
next to bible, quran and vedanta.
You cannot fathom the wholeness of life,
if you let expansion be dictated by law.

Expansion can't be contained by law,
concocted in the gutter of tribalism.
Burning books doesn't prevent darkness,
It only obstructs illumination.

Book bans are dumb,
it makes the world numb.
Read reason, fiction, the lot -
Stretch your mind beyond medieval vision.”

western or eastern -
no matter the geography,
education is education.

just like it must call out
cold intellectual arrogance.”

“Knowledge behind Paywall
(Open Access Sonnet)

Knowledge aloof from people,
locked shut behind paywall,
bears no significance in society,
holds no worth whatsoever.

That's why huge chunks of my works,
are accessible freely to the world.
In fact, if I had no bills to pay,
would've given away my last miracle word!

Record of light is not proof of light,
Light must be proven by existence alone.
Over a third of my sonnets are available
free, including some of my most potent ones.

Light accessible only to select elites,
is not light, but filth uncivilized.
Paywall is a violation of knowledge,
it vilifies the sanctity of human light.”

“God Eyes (Sonnet)

Perception is not a measure of reality,
perception is a measure of distance -

from afar the sun is a dot,
from farther the milkyway is a dot,
from farther still the universe is a dot.

Likewise, from afar God is an entity,
from up close, God is a state of mind,
get closer still, and you are God.

Perception is like an oscillator circuit,
alter the value of the resistor or
capacitor, and you change the oscillation.

Likewise, truth changes based on the
resistance, ie. ignorance, and capacitance,
ie. awareness, of your vantage point.”

“In the absence of heart, even truth becomes mindless - and the mindless never know they're mindless, they feel like it's an act of courage.”
Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology

“It is your duty to learn, but reality/nature doesn’t have the duty to teach you… even if it does teach you, it doest so for its own good not yours… & that’s not including risk evaluation, value assessment, expected returns…meaning nature doesn't teach us these important aspects we face in our everyday decision making."

“Wardenclyffe Human (Sonnet)

Give the monkeys cinema and sports,
they'll sleep through armageddon;
cinema is a great propaganda device,
sports are an opiate of distraction.

Good filmmaking elevates the mind,
but fanatic fans only carry manure;
playing sports elevates the body,
but backseat players are raving boar.

The average monkey may not know,
that the earth spins around the sun,
but ask about their favorite celebrity,
and they become wikipedia in person.

Vegetable, you are not, so don't go soggy;
nothing more sad than brain becoming bacon!
You are Wardenclyffe, you are Nalanda,
you're the source and sink of civilization.”
Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“My favorite answer of all is, 'I don't know' - in the absence of rigorous investigation that's the answer I fall back on the most.”

Ashish Kharloya
“In the process of unearthing the root causes of everything around him, Tushar earned a satisfying taste of purposeful beauty: both the beauty of ordered complexity in nature and the beauty of contemplating that ordered complexity, the former encapsulated by Einstein when he said 'The great miracle of physics is that there are no miracles' and the latter embodied by Spinoza when he uttered 'The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.”
