Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Just A Human Sonnet Emotion first, Attire later. Simplicity first, Sovereignty later. Friendship first, Faith later. Goodness first, God later. Morality first, Nationality later. Peace first, Patriotism later. Let nothing be a hindrance to humanity, Fulfilment of life lies in universality.”

“If you take a diamond and put it in a museum, does it try to impress people! It does not. Yet people start gathering around to bask in its glory. Let your humanity shine and the whole world will fall at your feet - even if your clothes are dirty and wallet is empty.”

“A selfish heart is an ever-consuming desert - no matter how much water you pour, it still wants more, whereas an unselfish heart is an ever-giving ocean - no matter how much water you draw, it still has plenty to give everyone.”

“I am here to build an army of self-sacrificing humanitarians across space and time, to march unafraid in the course of equality, inclusion and ascension, fortified with accountability, reason and acceptance. So my question to you is - are you that army? If you are, then chisel this in your brain with the indelible ink of determination - your gospel is goodness, your religion is service, your church is society.”

“This is Not Us (The Sonnet) This is not us, Practicing savages abhorrent. This is not sapiens, Intelligent yet filthy indifferent. Some think we are advanced, But self-absorption is no advancement. Some say we have built a free world, But irresponsible freedom is mere derangement. Fancy clothes and accessories make no human, Nor do those shallow etiquettes. When we have no kindness for others, We are just good-looking cannibals. This cannot be the definition of humanity. Need of the hour is a life of inclusivity.”

“You don't need to memorize the bible - you don't need to turn water into wine - you don't need to have an unlimited supply of bread in your basket to be a miracle worker, you just need to have the capacity to share the one bread you have with someone hungry.”

“Sonnet of Nation Building Nation means not land, Nation means not border. Nation means sentience and sanity, Nation means willing to treat disorder. Nation means not habit, Nation means not tradition. Nation means reason and acceptance, Nation means conscious amalgamation. Nations means not law, Nations means not policy. Nation means a genuine goodness, Nation means an accountable citizenry. In the name of nation do not act tribal. Nation without narrowness is a land universal.”

“Either Aşkistan or Junglistan (A Sonnet) Ours is either aşkistan, Land of love founded on amity, Or it is an archaic junglistan, Run by contagious self-centricity. What is civilized is also unselfish, For selfishness makes the animal, Across the self there is humanity, What is unselfish is also accountable. Technology may bring comfort, But it doesn't ensure ascension, When comfort belongs to the privileged, Such progress is mere descension. Over 3 billion years have gone in selfishness, It's time to unself our soul and rise as sapiens.”

“Sonnet of People (The Sonnet) All is well when there's people with us, Without ‘em life is sugarcane without sugar, All is meaningful when there's people with us, Without ‘em life is a painting without color. People are the blood in my veins, I can breathe without oxygen but not people, Thus speaks the being called human, Thus lives the sapiens who's brave and noble. Community means compatriot unity, Unity means undivided amity, Amity means affectionate sanity, Sanity means serene humanity. Now one ponders the meaning of humanity. It means humble and affectionate for eternity.”

“You can dress up a chimpanzee in a fancy suit, but that doesn't turn the chimpanzee into a human, but if that chimp can share his meal with another hungry chimp, then that chimp is more human than all of the selfish humanity combined. Appearance doesn't make you human, your behavior does - your accountability does - your sense of community does.”

“If you do a few good deeds and then say, that's it, I've completed my daily quota of good deeds, then that's not goodness, but a mockery of goodness. When a river flows does it ever count the villages it passes by and then say that's it, I have completed my daily quota of providing people water - it doesn't, it simply keeps flowing, without keeping count of how many people are blessed by its water. Be like the river my friend and do good without keeping count.”
