Live every single moment of your life, for the one thing that is most precious to you.

 

Religion is an experience, not a bunch of doctrines.

 

There is no force in the universe that can harm you, unless you allow it to.

 

From the tiniest experience of your daily life to your grand perception of the universe, in various situations, the human brain tends to create its own myth and stories.

 

A Christian must worship the Self as Christ, not Christ as Christ. A Muslim must worship the Self as Mohammed, not Mohammed as Mohammed. A Hindu must worship the Self as Krishna, not Krishna as Krishna.

 

Every man is subconsciously promiscuous, but it is the conscious mind that keeps those primordial urges in check. A healthy brain creates a healthy mind, which keeps your relationship strong, safe and healthy.

 

I am the bridge that connects these two ever- separated banks of human understanding.

 

From all aspects of human perception, you truly are your brain.

 

A rational human being of the civilized world would be like the swan that can draw the milk from a mixture of milk and water, leaving aside the water.

 

Realization of your inner divinity is the scientific religion of thinking humanity.

 

There is no such thing as Hardcore Philosophy or Hardcore Science. Real Science and Real Philosophy do not destroy each other, they simply fulfil and enrich each other.

 

I am a monk at heart – a scientist at brain – a philosopher at conscience.

 

Sophistication is not science people, simplicity is.

 

Science is the most effective, efficient and magnificent path that leads towards the salvation of humankind.

 

Progress of the human society is predicated upon the proper functioning of a key element of the human mind, that is reasoning.

 

A sex worker deserves a billion times more respect, than the mystical fraudsters of the society, such as astrologers, psychics and tarot card readers.

 

No Lord Almighty created the humans out of personal will. Creationism is simply a myth created by the weak and ignorant humans out of a psychological need to have a sense of eternal security.

 

It is all about the trade of ignorance. And India is such a bronze-age nation that is filled with these trades (astrology, palm reading, vastushashtra and others).

 

There is nothing ideal in Nature, because it was not created by some sort of ideal Almighty Being with perfect peerless craftsmanship. Nature as it is, has evolved through millions of years out of the biological drive for survival.

 

Brutality goes hand in hand with orthodoxy, be it Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Atheistic or any other.

 

The human has not one but two births – first, when a person is born from the mother’s womb, and second, when that person rises from the socio-culturally imposed cocoon of prejudices and ignorance.

 

Mysticism and supernaturalism are the descendants of ignorance and fear.

 

In the society of thinking humanity, the natural law of trust should be – In I, I trust.

 

Truth, independent of the Self, is irrelevant to the biological existence of human life.

 

Every single phenomenon in the world, has a physical explanation underneath it. Finding the explanation depends on how far you are willing to go.

 

The salvation of the species, lies in knowing the Self – it lies in contributing to the wellbeing of the Selves of others.

 

The mystical non-sense of afterlife indeed gives solace to the mind in times of weakness, but why should the mind let its weakness be the fuel for primitiveness in the first place!

 

All religions are mere echoes of this one great religion of Humanism.

 

Nanak’s encounter of God and God’s court was in fact a profound hallucinatory Near-Death Experience caused by drowning that strengthened his pre-conceived notion of a rational, compassionate and unorthodox society.

 

The human mind has a primordial affinity towards ideas of miracles and mysticism, especially, in times of weakness.

 

It takes not a few centuries, or even millenniums, but millions of years for a subtle evolutionary change to become noticeable.

 

The perception of reality is something that is constructed by the human mind based on its own needs and knacks.

 

When the conscience runs pure and strong in the heart of thinking humanity, there is not power in any fundamentalism to take hold of the human civilization and drag it back to the medieval days of barbarianism.

 

Human nature is a combination of modern conscience and ancient primitiveness. As the creation of the human mind in a state of transcendence, all scriptures are also a fusion of human conscience and gruesome primitiveness.

 

I don’t do metaphysics. Neither do I have the luxury to talk about my beliefs.

 

Get rid of your useless ceremonials and be educated like your ancient ancestors – Aryabhatta, Brahmagupta, Susruta and others. Make education your purpose of life and spread it among the masses.

 

There is no such thing as reincarnation, but only similar incarnation.

 

One who does not believe in the self is an atheist. If you believe in yourself, then you are the most religious person on earth.

 

In the pursuit of breaking free from all the shackles of man-made bondages, science is the most effective tool we have till this date.

 

The optimist sees the glass as half full, the pessimist as half empty. What I see is water that can save someone’s life.

 

Every true scientist is a philosopher, but not every philosopher is a scientist.

 

Scientific understanding of nature, doesn’t make a person religious or atheist. I​t makes a person liberated of all labels. Moreover it makes a person kind and understanding.

 

The purpose of Neurotheology shall be to ease human sufferings with a deeper understanding of the neurobiological substrates of spirituality and divinity.

 

All knowledge that Science has acquired so far, has been through the concentration of the powers of the mind.

 

Things remain paranormal, as long as we scientists don’t reveal the underlying physical processes.

 

It has always been science versus fundamentalism, not science versus religion.

 

The female brain is engineered to avoid conflicts at all cost, whereas the male brain pleasures conflicts in the purpose of being the boss.

 

I am not a teacher of humanity, I am merely servant of humanity.

 

Be naive and curious. That’s all you need to become a scientist.

 

Memorizing and regurgitating are not science. Real science is a constant investigation of the unknown.

 

Religious faith as a whole induces various health benefits in the general population through complex biological processes.

 

Psychics, astrology, tarot cards – all these mystical non-sense are signs of a weak mind. Whenever such garbage starts grabbing hold of you, seek the help of a physician or therapist.

 

In this universe, all we perceive is a virtual reality created by the neurons.

 

The highest heaven is not in the sky, it is in the human mind.

 

Natural Sciences are all about fascinating causality.

 

Physiology and Psychology are not at all separate from each other. Rather they are deeply intertwined.

 

Experience, derived from scientific investigation, led to all the scientific literature in history. Likewise, experience, derived from religious transcendence, led to all the religious scriptures in history. It’s never the other way around.

 

I don’t believe any scientific field to be superior to another.

 

Somehow creationists keep us naturalists in track to some extent. They are the representation of human stupidity at its extreme. And we need some stupidity in the society for true intellect to be adored.

 

Religions began as realization of the self, but ended up being retaliation against each other.

 

Those who preach bookish religion are the greatest atheists of all, because they don’t have the slightest idea of neither God nor religion. Their beloved religion is their book. And their God is in the doctrines.

 

I don’t see doctrines, when I talk about religions. All I see are different experiential realities of the one and the same neuronal Kingdom of God.

 

Spirituality, sexuality and curiosity are the three pillars of Modern Human Consciousness.

 

Man’s earliest prereligious fear of the natural forces gradually became religious in nature and got personalized and spiritualized. Eventually he learnt to say ‘God works in a mysterious way’.

 

Religion helps humanity to pass through its darkest times.

 

If a religion cannot help a human wherever he or she stands, it is not of much use.

 

Someone burns your beloved scripture in front of you, yet you are not bothered even the slightest bit. That’s when you know, you have achieved divinity.

 

Religion doesn’t mean obeying some textual rules from books that were written hundreds or thousands of years ago. Religion means realization of the self.

 

Spirituality is to Religion, what Love is to Marriage. Spirituality is an emotional state of the mind, just like Love, while Religion on the other hand, is a social construct, quite like Marriage.

 

Divinity is born from neural processes, not some Supreme Entity.

 

There can never be a conflict between science and religion, once you understand the spiritual knack of the human brain circuits.

 

I (God) am only a part of your own human consciousness, but a really bizarre part.

 

In today’s society, the animals known as Homo sapiens have become conditioned to elicit the same kind of fearful response whenever the bell of Islam is rung.

 

Fear or anxiety is a normal part of living. It’s the body’s way of telling us something isn’t right. It keeps us from harm’s way and prepares us to act quickly in the face of danger.

 

Fear and Love are the two emotional pillars of survival.

 

Two married partners do not just live with each other, they live in each other, neurologically speaking.

 

When two people fall in love, they not only give up their genuine authority over their own lives, but also, they become mutual authorities of the collective life that they build together.

 

Do not seek for the best partner, but seek for the person who makes you a better version of yourself.

 

A healthy world is made of healthy nations. A healthy nation is made of healthy families. And a healthy family can only be raised on the foundation of a monogamous relationship.

 

A healthy marriage acts as the vessel of wellbeing and stability for both partners as well as the children.

 

Cheating is an innate evolutionarily programmed desire, especially in men, but it is not a desire that cannot be controlled.

 

A human is the one, who would give up a thousand Cleopatras to be with the person he or she loves.

 

Try to respond to your partner instead of reacting.

 

Marriage is not a competition. Marriage is completion of two souls.

 

True love is born out of the pyre of two committed souls.

 

Monogamy is not a choice, it is a responsibility of a genuine human.

 

Either one is promiscuous or in a relationship – it cannot be both at the same time.

 

Polygamy is about sex, whereas monogamy is about love.

 

Polygamy is a luxury of the cave-people, and monogamy is an existential responsibility of the civilized society.

 

To a woman sexual intimacy is more a tool to get mentally close to her partner than merely a means to physical pleasure.

 

In the unification of two minds, orientation of sexuality is irrelevant.

 

Sex is not just about going in or letting in, it is really about welcoming your dearly beloved into the deepest regions of your psyche which are inaccessible to anybody else.

 

Sexual intimacy is not the destination, it is the path – the path that leads to mental union.

 

Love begins with the stage of subconscious primitive lust and attraction. I’m saying primitive because at this very early stage there is really no difference between primitive man and modern man.

 

All that two lovers want, is to be one with the other in a moment of ecstasy.

 

Through sexual intimacy, two human beings become one mind, body and soul wrapped up in the cocoon of their skin.

 

Love can literally transform a human being. It can make us do either heroic or evil deeds. It is the best inspiration ever.

 

The very first few days when you actually start having symptoms of falling for someone special, are the days of heavenly bliss and unreasonable madness.

 

A life without having loved someone is a life never lived.

 

Love and Divinity are both gifts from Nature, fraught with the highest bliss.

 

Homosexuality is neither a sin, nor an anomaly or a disease. It is an evolutionary variation.

 

True love is 20 percent care and 80 percent understanding.

 

Don’t judge people by their profession, otherwise you’ll end up with more enemies than friends.

 

Emotion doesn’t arise from the dreams, rather your deepest emotion orchestrates your dream.

 

​Many times your emotional feel-good state or frustrated state is woven into dreams with the use of picture-metaphors.

 

Violence only attacks the body, but it is non-violence that has the power to influence the soul and reshape it towards a peaceful future.

 

Mothers and fathers are born everywhere. What the world needs are leaders.

 

A nation with a thousand awakened citizens and a corrupt leader, is much more alive than a nation with an awakened leader and a thousand corrupt citizens.

 

Politics means implementation of the best ideas for the society in the path of wellbeing and progress.

 

Fundamentalism of any kind, be it religious, atheistic, political or educational, is the greatest threat to human excellence – it is a threat to progress – it is a threat to greatness.

 

Every animal is biologically designed by Nature to do wrong in return. It takes a human being to not do wrong in return.

 

Only those who live for others become immortal, and the rest simply perish within a few weeks , or alas days, after their mortal demise.

 

Genes come together to construct a magnificent life-form, while neurons come together to form our Illusion of Consciousness.

 

​I wanted to present Neuroscience to people in a way that would diminish their differences.

 

If only one generation takes action in raising their children as humans, rather than raising boys and girls, the future human civilization shall get rid of the sinister phenomenon of misogyny sooner than you can imagine.

 

Man is the master of Woman” – this statement may have been a glorious fact of primitive life in the wild, but it is nothing but an obnoxious stain on psyche of the thinking humanity.

 

Change is a quintessential element of progress. Without change, progress is non-existent.

 

It is not beauty that keeps a relationship alive, it is attachment. Without attachment, a naked body is merely a lifeless sex toy.

 

What you today perceive as beautiful and special, over time, becomes not so special. That’s how the human brain works.

 

Beauty is irrelevant to human life, especially in a relationship.

 

No Quran, no Bible, no Gita, no Cow, is greater than the human self.

 

No text, being human creation, is free from flaws – it is the human mind that should be conscientious enough to accept their good elements and discard the bad ones.

 

The influence of the Sermon on the Mount is truly past reckoning. Any rational human being with a conscientious mind is bound to be influenced by its exuberant content regardless of religious background.

 

If you are truly able to walk in the shoes of Christ, the very label of religion called Christianity would disappear from the face of earth.

 

He (Jesus) gave up his life not because of the so-called sins of humanity, but because he was too adamant to give in to orthodox monstrosity.

 

The Church has carried out some of the most inhuman and above all un-Christian acts of human history, yet, it is still gloriously hailed by the majority of human population as to be synonymous with Jesus Christ.

 

Christ attained the ultimate spiritual oneness through prayer and devotion, Moses and Mohammed through prayer, Buddha and all the Indian sages through intense meditation and so did I. And so can you.

 

Just like love becomes consummated upon the attainment of orgasm, all the faith and divinity in the world reach their ultimate existential potential upon the attainment of Absolute Unitary Qualia or simply Absolute Godliness.

 

Once you attain the state of Absolute Oneness or Non-Duality, you become one of those spiritual legends that humanity so gloriously venerates as the founding fathers of religion.

 

If you want to consume the cream of Christ’s philosophy, then don’t read the Bible, read Tolstoy.

 

Say, you teach a five year old child a few verses from the Bible. And after memorizing them, he will become a part scholar in Christian theology. But that won’t make him realize what Jesus actually meant when he said ‘love thy neighbor’.

 

I do not serve and never will serve the human body. I serve only the human soul – the soul that is the cause of all feats of excellence in this world – the soul that is the gateway to a real kingdom of peace.

 

Primitive humans could not comprehend the vastness of infinity and eternity, so as a trick of self-preservation they came up with the perception of survival of the soul after death and its recurring incarnations.

 

Soul is nothing but the functional expression of protoplasmic activity in the brain.

 

Peace first, sophistication later. Harmony first, luxury later.

 

Arise my friend, Awake my friend and work for humanity, not to make it sophisticated, but to make it peaceful first.

 

Become the destroyer of sects – become the breaker of privileges – become the messenger of equality – become the prophet of goodness.

 

Sacrifice everything that is yours, to call up the humans in others.

 

O my mighty sisters and brothers, forget not that the ideal of humanity is the search of truth. In this pursuit, countless souls have sacrificed themselves in the past. And in this pursuit, countless more shall need to sacrifice themselves.

 

Arise O lion-heart! Awake, O great soldier! Misery has come upon the world. It is wailing for help. It is wailing for redemption. Won’t you do anything, my friend!

 

Self- reliance is the greatest of all virtues my friend.

 

Whom the society deems worthless, once they discover their special inclination, it will change the very course of their lives as well as the shape of the very society that distastes them.

 

Help does not come from anywhere outside – it comes only from within ourselves.

 

Awake, O brave one! Arise, O lion-heart! Be the messenger that spreads compassion.

 

Excellence doesn’t come by obeying doctrines. Excellence comes through recognizing the flaws in the prevailing doctrines of the society and throwing them away if necessary in the path of progress.

 

Think of strength, dream of strength, live of strength.

 

No institution can become the cradle of leadership, until its teachers break their manacles of rugged dogmas.

 

You are born to build the society, not to follow it.

 

The world needs heroes. Be a hero and build your part of the world.

 

You don’t die when your body stops functioning. You die when your name is uttered for the last time in the world.

 

Throw away the newspapers. Discard all the useless debates and gossiping. Start working in silence. Start working on your passion. And make the news yourself.

 

Have patience and keep working. Everything will come alright in time.

 

Tell them a lie big enough, they’ll worship you as a sage. Tell them a truth big enough and they’ll mock you.

 

A humble learner of today becomes a strong leader of tomorrow.

 

Without art, a film is pure wastage of time and resources.

 

Rationality attracts conscientious humans, whereas mysticism attracts fools.

 

No other being is lesser human than the one who thinks of others as such.

 

Real religion does not mean Gods – it does not mean Angels and Demons – it does not mean miracles of healing. Real religion is all about you and your fellow humans. There is nothing else.

 

It is your existential responsibility to raise your child as a human being above everything else – catholic, muslim, jew, asian, caucasian or whatever.

 

Rise to become human again, my friend. Become the human, that talks humans, acts humans and lives human.

 

What is natural, needs to be looked upon, scrutinized and reshaped by each generation of the world, to make it compatible with the path of progress of a civilized society.

 

Love has no gender – compassion has no religion – character has no race.

 

If your nationality is lost, nothing is lost – if your religion is lost, nothing is lost – if your ethnicity is lost, nothing is lost – but if your character is lost, then you are more lost than Donald Trump.

 

Either you are homophobic or you are a human – you cannot be both.

 

Discriminations are never a sign of a civilized society. What makes us civilized is our act of liberated kindness with other people beyond the man-made primitive citadels of gender, race, religion and sexual orientation.

 

Discriminations suit animals, not humans. And yet, the unfortunate reality is, it is the humans that discriminate each other on the grounds of imaginary labels, not the animals. This way, animals are more civilized than humans.

 

Homosexuality is immutable, irreversible and nonpathological.

 

Being homosexual is no more abnormal than being lefthanded.

 

Either you are racist or you are a human – you cannot be both.

 

Acceptance does not mean accepting those who disregard humans on the basis of race, religion and sexual orientation.

 

Forget race, forget gender, forget religion, and become a human my friend. Become a human above everything else, and all great things shall follow.

 

The only classification to be made out of humans should be based on character and nothing but the character.

 

You may be James the American, or Mary the British, or anything else, but before all that, you are a human.

 

Now is the time that we make conscientious efforts towards becoming a real wise species, free from all sorts of bigotry, mysticism and sectarianism.

 

Only fools neglect the living God – the Human Self, while running after imaginary shadows.

 

Terrorism is born of fundamentalism not of religion.

 

Terrorism has nothing to do with religion, Islam or otherwise. Terrorism is born of fundamentalism not of religion.

 

You must remember, the so-called Jihadis who are in reality, mentally unstable individuals run by Quranic fundamentalists, do not represent the whole Muslim population of the world.

 

The moment when humanity learns to tame all its primeval biases, only then it will be worth the title “Sapiens”, not any earlier.

 

We no longer have any time to waste, entertaining our dark side. It is time we recognize those evil elements of our internal world and start working untiringly on eradicating them.

 

If you want to teach real religion to the kids, throw away the Bible, the Vedas, the Quran and all the scriptures, and teach them the religion of love.

 

Humanism is not a pompous philosophy to be talked and debated about by a handful of intellectuals – it is the purest form of moral compass, which defines the civilized heart of thinking humanity.

 

You may turn every house in your neighborhood into a charity center, you may fill the land with soup-kitchens, but the misery of humans will still continue to exist until the character of humanity changes.

 

Your life-blood is humanism. If it flows pure and clear, everything would happen nicely in the world – every defect in the society shall be healed.

 

Together you are a species that grows in all aspects of life – separated you are a mere speck of dust in vast ocean of space-time capable of nothing progressive.

 

They are the humans who are intelligent enough to have insight of every single molecular underpinning of the warmth of love, and yet not let that factual knowledge ruin the romance in a relationship.

 

If this is called civilization, then I am afraid humanity is no more civilized than the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

 

You live in a society, that always demands you to have a label to define yourself. Now it’s up to you, whether you choose man-made labels like ‘religious’ and ‘atheist’, or your innate natural label gifted by Mother Nature, i.e. ‘human’.

 

The poor, the illiterate, the helpless, the distressed — let these be your God.

 

In the hands of thinking humanity, the purpose of the tool of Divinity or Religion is not the service of bookish doctrines, but the realization of the self.

 

If origin defines race, then the entire human race is African.

 

Bring light to the ignorant, but more light to the educated, for the vanity of education makes modern humans more ignorant than the ignorant.

 

When one attains self-knowledge, distinctions of race and religion vanish.

 

Without even knowing, humanity actually worships not an Entity, rather a mental state.

 

You are modern humans of the civilized world. And modern humans rise beyond all laws and superstitions of the society. They help their fellow beings to rise from the ashes of ignorance, illusion and fear.

 

The dangerous enemies of your species are fundamentalism, intolerance, separatism, extremism, hostility and prejudicial fear, be it religious, atheistic or political.

 

Science transcends the personal domain of beliefs. You can see the grace of Science in every direction of the human universe.

 

One good, compassionate and caring Self is a thousand times greater than all the fanciful, imaginary supernatural entities in the world.

 

Diversity is Nature’s stronghold, yet that very diversity has become a curse for an entire species, which is supposedly the most advanced one on its planet.

 

It’s in the nature of the humans and the entire animal kingdom to return blow for blow, cheating for cheating, lie for lie, to hit back with all our might. But what makes us true humans is the power to not hit back.

 

When Mother Nature speaks, even the Gods hold silence.

 

Homosexuality is nature’s way of keeping the population in check.

 

Faith is a natural evolutionary trait of the human mind, selected by Mother Nature as an internal coping-mechanism.

 

Biology is run by intricate cellular mechanisms. Cellular mechanisms are run by Nature. Thus, the more we attempt to understand Nature, the more we get closer to our existential properties.

 

Feed your child ideas of peace, harmony and compassion but at the same time give them courage to defend their identity and dignity.

 

The world needs the kind of religion that sets humanity free, not the kind that binds it with textual fanaticism. The world needs the kind of religion that humanizes the society, not the kind that dehumanizes it.

 

People often ask me, what my religion is. I tell them, I am a Christian to the Christian, a Jew to the Jew, a Muslim to the Muslim, a Hindu to the Hindu, an atheist to the atheist, but the brightest nightmare to the fundamentalist.

 

When a person irrationally and quite pathologically sticks to the creeds of his scriptures too much, it can turn even a great human being into the worst version of himself.

 

It is more practical to make people transform their mindset about religion and religiousness and walk in the path of creed-less religious harmony, than to convert the entire religious population on earth into atheists.

 

Scriptures are meant to serve humanity, not humanity to serve scriptures.

 

Make love your religion, and all the citadels of man-made religious conflicts shall disappear from the face of earth once and for all.

 

It’s time that Islam should be redefined by the world based upon, the goodness of all the peace-loving Muslims, instead of the theoretical teachings of some books, be it Quran or the Hadith.

 

Sapiens means wise or sapient… Wise means acceptance, not differentiation. Wise means helping, not fighting. Wise means assimilation, not destruction. Wise means harmony and peace, not dissension.

 

The transcendental state of Absolute Oneness sets the human mind free.

 

Through Neurotheology, I and my fellow scientists of twenty-first century have already taken the first step from the side of Science, to diminish the gap between Science and Religion. Now it is time for Religion to do the same.

 

Harmony and Peace do not rise from any church, temple, mosque or synagogue. They can only rise from individual human conscience.

 

The agonizing flames of misery can turn the human heart inside your skull into a breeding ground for virtues.

 

The most crucial thing to know about true love is that, it is not something you can find, rather you need to build it with the person in whose eyes you see your soul.

 

When you say to someone “follow your heart”, it actually refers to the rhetorical representation of various emotions, that are precisely produced from neural activity of the limbic system.

 

Awaken your mind from the deep sleep of ancient mysticism and make it self-conscious – power will come, glory will come, goodness will come and everything that is excellent will come.

 

Make a little effort to give up your insignificant quarrels and eventually a better world will follow.

 

One way or another we are all biased, but still we have the modern cortical capacity to choose whether or not to let the harmful biases dictate our behavior.

 

Good and evil are both fundamental features of the human mind.

 

The human brain always concocts biases to aid in the construction of a coherent mental life, exclusively suitable for an individual’s personal needs.

 

Humans are not simply higher than Gods, Gods are mere mystical representations of the humans themselves.

 

Humans can be as good as they can be bad. Because goodness and evil both are biological traits of the mind.

 

The human self and the God self are both creations of molecules in the human brain.

 

The question – do we have free will, itself is not appropriate. We should mend our perspective a little, and start asking the question, do we have the freedom of will, based on our experiences?

 

Every single decision of your life is predicated on the healthy functioning of the prefrontal cortex. Even a slight malfunction in a tiny chunk of neuron anywhere in the PFC would lead to the mental deficit in your logical decision-making.

 

Mind is everything, there is nothing else as far as your subjective reality is concerned. Everything else outside this subjective reality is irrelevant to biological life.

 

Strength and weakness are both mental constructs. Now you choose, what’s preferable for you.

 

Memory is the coherence of life, that possesses all your emotions, and ambitions. Without it, your joyous as well as agonizing experiences of life won’t have any significance to you whatsoever.

 

You know who you are and what you are capable of, because of your own personal history and the experiences you gained throughout that history.

 

​As the neurobiology of our species gets more and more complicated, its functional expression, which we call the mind, shall get more vivid and productive.

 

All human endeavors are the achievements of the little specks of jelly in your head.

 

Each of your brains creates its own myth about the universe.

 

The causal, abstract, binary, holistic, and reductionist functions of the human brain all help you to process the enormous amount of information coming into our brain from the external world every day.

 

Education is the greatest manifestation of the innate potential of human mind.

 

It is pretty simple – mind is a part of life – consciousness is a part of mind – God is a part of consciousness.

 

Once the powers of the mind are concentrated and turned back upon itself, as the darkest places reveal their secrets before the penetrating rays of the sun, so would the concentrated mind penetrate its own innermost secrets.

 

All human experiences, from the feeling of love, to the presence of God emerge from various brain activity.

 

When you are saying “I”, it is actually the billions of neurons in your brain collectively expressing their functional existence.

 

​Consciousness is simple, if you are bold enough to accept it as simple.

 

Without the harmonious electrochemical activity of all the brain structure, the very thing which we call “mind”, would suddenly disappear from the face of earth.

 

In your usual state of consciousness, there is a separate quale experience of everything you observe. But when you transcend into the domain of absolute divinity, all your qualia get mixed up.

 

Neuron is to Consciousness, what D.N.A. is to Life. Thus, Biology of Mind is to the twenty-first century, what Biology of Life was to the twentieth century.

 

in simple terms, what you perceive as real, is actually a neurological reconstruction or simulation of the actual real thing. It’s not as simple as saying, we see as it is. Actually we do not ever see as it is.

 

The complex organic device that creates and thereafter drives consciousness, is the human brain. Consciousness evolved hand in hand with the evolution of the human brain throughout a time span of six million years.

 

Science without Philosophy leads to chaos. Philosophy without Science leads to nowhere. Only together they can construct a better world.

 

Let your conscience be your scripture and your actions be your religion. Let the humans be your church and compassion be your worship. Let love be your gospel and acceptance be your revelation.

 

The Kingdom of God is, in reality, the mental kingdom of a conscientious, compassionate and courageous human.

 

Love opens the most impossible gates in the world.

 

Nobody wants great things for you. They all want you to be something they deem important for them.

 

​Belief is exclusively a matter of personal domain. It has nothing to do with reality.

 

In every walk of life, you do have the freedom to choose, but that freedom is based on the perception of the world and yourself which you have gained until that moment of life.

 

All experiences, emotions, behaviors and beliefs, that make us humans, are the creation of various intricate and inexplicable molecular interactions within the brain.

 

To be honest, as a species we may not live long enough to ever understand the true reality of the universe. But as the foundation of consciousness lies within the domain of biology one day we shall know all there is to know about it.

 

Remember my friend, uncontrolled alcohol, uncontrolled casual sex and mindless indoctrination are not signs of progress, they are signs of drowning into the abyss of mental and physical degradation.

 

A relationship is not just about sex – it is much more than that. Sex is only a tool in love, not love itself.

 

Stop talking about “rape” and start talking about “sex”, and within a few decades India will attain the true mindset to prevent sexual assaults.

 

Good sex is about knowing each other’s deepest and kinkiest desires.

 

Even though the world hails Joan of Arc as some sort of hero, which she undoubtedly was, what pains me the most is that her pathological condition ultimately led to her demise at the age of only nineteen.

 

​The universe perceives itself through us, or to be more specific, through our neurons.

 

All our unique human achievements may seem to be the creation of the unique human mind, but they are simply the by- products of our neurobiological response to the environment.

 

Pathology can indeed cause experiences of the Kingdom of God, but not all God experiences are caused by pathology.

 

Never trust books on the question of whether or not to trust your rational thinking. Trust your rational thinking on the question of whether or not to trust the books.

 

Biology without selfishness, is nothing but fiction.

 

All deities are external manifestation of humanity’s internal divinity.

 

​Pass on bravery and wisdom to the future generations, not some ragged traditions and baseless cowardice.

 

Males of all species are made for wooing females, and females typically choose among their suitors.

 

I dream of a planet where the science of the mind, brings the Bible, the Vedas, the Quran, and all other scriptures together and binds them with the golden twine of harmony.

 

No book on this planet can give you the description of terms like religion, spirituality, divinity unless you discover it within the realm of your own mind.

 

Religious unity does not come so easily. It is not a piece of pie, which you can buy in the shop. It takes sincere efforts from every single human being on this planet.

 

Our entire neurobiology acts as a giant input-output system, that receives information from the outside world, processes that information and makes a person react accordingly.

 

More than Captain America your kids need Amelia Earhart – more than Ant Man, they need Abraham Lincoln – more than Green Arrow they need Gandhi – more than Iron Man they need Isaac Newton.

 

Force your kids to pursue success and they shall be drowned into the abyss of characterlessness, but let them pursue excellence and they shall rise as glorious Gods.

 

Human making is our mission, but if you break the very soul of the would-be humans, then there will be no human to raise.

 

Let your children nourish their knack, for that knack shall one day provide them with the way to live with dignity and contentment.

 

Let your child be the torch of truth and they shall shine over the entirety of the human society brightening even the darkest corners.

 

There is nothing glorious about creating life out of passionate penetration. Even the animals can do that. The real glory comes when the life you create becomes the help in the lives of countless other humans.

 

Teach the children compassion and empathy, for all creatures are born selfish.

 

Modern humans are taught from the childhood that they are weak and sinners. Teach them that they are embodiment of glory and children of immortal strength. Eventually a society full of bravehearts will rise.

 

Never put a single thought of weakness in the flourishing minds of the children. Fill them up with vigour and compassion, for their character will define the future of the entire human species.

 

Fairytales are healthy for the children. As they grow up, the magical thinking wears off, but the fairytale-induced creative brain circuits stay forever.

 

Do not let the evil become our masters, but make the good reign upon the world.

 

Harmony is not a luxury, it is an existential necessity of the species. And to achieve it, if a hundred Bibles have to be sacrificed, then be it. But for no Bible, Quran or Gita, can harmony be compromised.

 

scientifically speaking – you cannot. Accept it. You simply cannot make any nation completely corruption-free. It is only an absurd fairytale. It feels good to talk about it, but it cannot be made a reality.

 

Truth doesn’t pay homage to creeds. Creeds must adjust themselves to be compatible with the truth.

 

The society terms the varied paths of achieving the divine bliss as religion.

 

Humanism is not a single character. It is a magnificent blend of various emotional and behavioral traits that are unique to the human mind.

 

When it is time for religion to vanish from the face of earth upon having finished its service of psychological reinforcement to humanity, Mother Nature will make that happen one way or another.

 

People with OCD including myself, realize that their seemingly uncontrollable behavior is irrational, but they feel unable to stop it.

 

Often during writing, I am compelled by OCD to delete and rewrite a word or sentence over and over again.

 

The so-called mystical characters of India, whom you call in many ways, such as “swami”, “baba” and “guru” are nothing but an informal, cheap and primitive substitute for modern psychotherapists or counsellors.

 

Nourish your reasoning skills my friend, they are the most effective tool you can ever have in the path of progress.

 

Each person you meet influences your mental universe in a way that has the potential to make a substantial impact upon the causality of the intellectual development of an entire species.

 

Your religion is whatever makes you a better human being.

 

The book from which to learn religion, is your own mind.

 

The purpose of my work is not to educate people, rather it is to enrich human life with self-awareness.

 

Each day I wake up with a naive perspective of life and universe, and walk towards understanding a little more about the true nature of human perception with all its vivacious nuances and behavioral expressions.

 

Belief is not a luxury, it is a biological necessity of the mind.

 

Believing without questioning is an insult to the human conscience.

 

​Blind faith may be healthy for the individual mind, but it is not religion.

 

If Bengali is my mother, then English is my father and friend.

 

I was working in silence seeking no appreciation or respect from any one. And it is always the silence from which great literature is born.

 

Masturbation and meditation both promote physical and mental wellbeing.

 

Masturbating is no more sinful than praying or meditating.

 

Essentially prayer and meditation are one and the same thing.

 

Meditation is good for the elderly, great for adults, even greater for children, and greater still for pregnant women. So, meditate and be well.

 

Meditation is a secular practice, not a religious practice.

 

Nirvana is too simple an experience to be depicted by diagrams.

 

The self, when confined into the usual wakeful state of consciousness, is human, but when enters into the transcendental state of Absolute Oneness, becomes God.

 

Thus, on a functional level, your meditation triggers the corresponding neurobiological networks that are responsible for eliciting health effects.

 

Upon entering into the divine domain of transcendence, all these religious founders truly felt that they had accessed the true meaning of the universe, while in reality, what they had access to, in that state of mind, was their inner self.

 

In the non-dual state, God, soul and universe are essentially one absolute system which is all-pervading, uncreated, self-luminous and eternal.

 

Awakening into the God state makes all the perceptual limitations of the mind disappear, just like a bucket of muddy water turns crystal-clear once poured into the ocean.

 

It is the ultimate religion, through which the son, the Father and all elements of the universe become unified.

 

If there is a God you must see it (literally), even clearer than you see this page, otherwise it is better not to believe. It is better to be an outspoken atheist, than a hypocrite.

 

First law of pleasurable love-making in the long run, is that you don’t keep naked pictures of your partner on your phone.

The brain becomes illogical, in the throes of new romance.

 

Salvation of human life requires disclosure of truth through reason, surpassing bigotry.

Religion without reason is like making love without love.

 

Be skeptic, be doubtful, be rebellious towards every single dogma of the society. Only then there will be hope of progress for humanity.

 

What is the point of having a civilization, if we do not practice being civilized!

 

Progress begins when you liberate your mind from the shackles of your ingrained tendencies of authoritarianism – the tendencies of greed – the tendencies of hatred, rage and lust.

 

Our mind has evolved in such a way that new wants keep appearing in it relentlessly. But do not confuse them with needs. Needs are necessity, but wants are luxury.

 

Start working my friend – start working towards humanizing the world. Because the world needs humans – conscientious humans, not some dumb manikins, driven by prejudice and discrimination.

 

Become a human and call upon the humans in others. And in time the world shall become a real abode of peace.

 

The religion that I advocate, and so did the mortal humans known as Jesus, Buddha and Nanak, is the religion of love, compassion and self-realization.

 

I don’t want to take away anybody’s religion, but simply to make them see what religion really means.

 

Religion is not a book, it is not an institution, and it is not even a person. True Religion is realization of the self.

 

All answers that you seek can only be found within.

 

Christ did to the Jewish orthodoxy, what Buddha did to the Hindu orthodoxy.

 

Whether in the name of Just War, Witch-Hunt or the Inquisition, at various points of history for various poppycock reasons the cross had been the weapon of mass destruction in the hands of the orthodox church.

 

Think of the good that Christ imparted on the society. And think of the great evil that has been done through fanaticism over one damn phrase “salvation through Christ, the Son of God.

 

Jesus recognized that God within him and became Christ – so did Siddhartha Gautama and became Buddha – so did I – and so can you.

 

Truth is a T-Rex. Let it out and you won’t need to defend it. It’ll defend itself.

 

A handful of lion-hearts can wake the whole world up.

 

Man and woman are the two wheels of society. If either one becomes defective, the society cannot make progress.

 

For religion to truly become an aid to humanity as a whole, every human being must make sincere efforts to break down the dogmatic barriers among different religions constructed by the pathologically ill and dangerous fundamentalists.

 

In the domain of true religion, mere book-learning has no right to enter.

 

If you don’t act now, the day is not far, that this beautiful planet of yours, which you call home, shall be turned into a dry barren wasteland by the blood-sucking fundamentalists.

 

Respect yourself and the whole world will respect you.

 

​Through ignorance a common man considers his own religion to be the best and makes much useless claims, but when his mind is illuminated by Self-Knowledge, all sectarian quarrels disappear.

 

First know the Self and then talk of social reformation.

 

Never question the conviction of a scientist, based on mere scriptures.

 

Learn to be true to yourself, and everything good will follow.

 

In order to attain extraordinary greatness, first you need to be drowned in the deepest fathoms of helplessness, misery and heartache.

 

The more you keep your religious beliefs concealed from others, the lesser religious conflicts occur in the society.

 

The more you learn the biology behind your every action, emotion and behavior, the better you become at accepting others the way they are.

 

We are who we are because of what we learn and what we remember.

 

The more emotional you are in a situation, the more memories you’ll have of that situation in the long run.

 

Real teachers like Jesus, Buddha, Nanak, Rumi have much more to teach humanity, than the imaginary figure Krishna, concocted by an ancient Indian man named Vyasa.

 

Never forget O Brave One, the best kind of existence is to exist for others.

 

There are no other heaven and hell outside the human mind. Goodness is heaven, hatred is hell. Acceptance is religion, sectarianism is blasphemy. Love is holiness, discrimination is sin.

 

Despite the fact that we cannot be absolutely altruistic in our behavior, we can still build our character to be loving and compassionate – to empathize with others.

My goal is simple. It is to take the human civilization with me on the path of sweet general harmony.

 

Just imagine, among 8.7 million species, only one has become smart enough to ponder over the meaning of life. This simple evolutionary fact itself implies the gravitas of human life.

 

Act like you have a lot of venom inside you, but never inject them into anyone.

 

Religion is the Self revealing secrets of the Self to the Self.

 

The only sin in this world is to lose faith in yourself.

 

It’s like we act as a mirror for the environment, or to a broader aspect, the universe.

 

There is no God besides the Self. One who knows the Self, knows God.

 

No one will give a damn about you and your excellence unless you give a damn about yourself.

 

​Let your pretence of arrogance grow big as a Dinosaur, so that the fake intellectuals start to realize their true inferiority in front of you.

 

Perception is like painting a scenery – no matter how beautifully you paint, it will still be a painting of the scenery, not the scenery itself.

Morality does not come to this mortal world from some imaginary paradise. It rises from the neurons of mortal humans.

 

Meditation brings Nirvana, and Nirvana brings Buddhahood.

 

A healthy PFC means a healthy cognitive grip over the world with very little elements of prejudice.

 

Everyday conscious awareness of a human being is only the tip of an iceberg, underneath which there is a realm of relatively uncharted apparently mysterious processes, which are likely to be way more complex than the usual waking state.

 

Consciousness is simply the brain’s neural response to its surrounding environmental stimuli. Hence when the neural circuits malfunction, Consciousness tends to malfunction as well.

 

The Kingdom of God is an earthly experience which manifests in an unearthly manner.

 

Humanity has pondered over the meaning of God since its beginning. It is one of those cognitive features that came along with the advent of modern Human Consciousness.

 

Regardless of all our pretenses, deep within, we are still unconsciously the same old cave-people.

We can tell a lot about a creature’s level of consciousness by understanding their perception of death.

 

God is simply a magnificent state of the mind, where the finite turns infinite.

 

Science and Religion are two vividly different realms of the human mind. They work differently at the molecular level, but the purpose of both is alleviation of the mind from the darkness of ignorance.

God is not an Almighty Being watching over life on earth. God is the Event Horizon of Human Consciousness.

 

A scientist first has to presuppose any theory based on available relevant data. In terms of such presupposition, a scientist begins his journey of scientific exploration as a philosopher.

 

It is not about whether you have free will, rather it is about whether you have enough experience to make the best possible wilful decision in the current moment of life.

 

What we are at this very moment, is determined by the sum total of all our experiences till this moment.

 

In the absence of self-control, this primordial nature of the limbic brain often compels the mind to give in to evils of corruption.

 

The real virtue is not to be free from desires but to be content with what you have.

 

Morality exists in the neurons as a natural sensation. Religion only tries to codify it.

 

The God that humanity so keenly seeks, lives within the human biology, yet they wander hitherto searching for it.

 

You may travel the whole world, but you’ll not find true religion anywhere. Whatever there is, it is in your own mind.

 

There is no such thing as ‘God given scripture’, ‘the messenger of God’ or ‘the Last Prophet’.

 

You can get the man out of stone-age, but not stone-age out of man.

Once a baby is born, the parents have around one and a half decades to build his or her character and fill the mind with vigour and virtues.

 

Sentiments that glorify humanity know no racial distinction.

 

Call up the ever-pure, the effulgent and the ever-radiant character of true humanism in yourself and in others, and no racism shall have the power to thrive in such society even for a few seconds.

 

It is character that should be the sole measure of judgement in the society of thinking humanity, and nothing short of that would do.

​On top of the government-hierarchy you need an unpolluted group of scientists to give a nation the best direction.

As the neo-cortex of the brain keeps getting more complex through further evolution, eventually our far away progeny will born in a world where there will be no more religion to be endowed upon them.
