Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Milagro Humano (El Soneto) Convertir el agua en vino no es un milagro, Solo significa que estás borracho. Compartir tu última gota de agua con alguien que tiene sed es el verdadero milagro. Sanar y ayudar son el mayor milagro, Incluso si requiere el sacrificio del yo. Un humano que ayuda a otro a sanar, es el verdadero milagro personificado. Así que despierta y trabaja, oh milagro humano, Corre hacia los indefensos como la lluvia monzónica. Lánzate a los pies de los olvidados, No hay mayor nobleza, ni mayor divinidad. Las oraciones no funcionan a menos que tú lo hagas. A todas las oraciones, somos la respuesta.”

“Soneto de Una Persona Religiosa Pasé años como cristiano, No encontré a Dios. Pasé años como musulmán, No encontré a Dios. Pasé años como hindú y sikh, Todavía no tenía ni idea. Pasé años como budista y ateo, Aún así no entendí nada. Hice oraciones, rituales, meditación, Nada de eso me trajo serenidad. Porque la serenidad ha estado siempre a los pies de la humanidad sufriente. Dejé todas las escrituras y me levanté como humano. El único signo de una persona religiosa es la amabilidad.”

“The world needs teachers – teachers who have broken their own shackles of indoctrination – teachers who can go beyond the narrow-mindedness of the society. A handful of these young, brave and zealous teachers in every nation, shall be enough to rekindle the spark of pure knowledge in the entire species.”

“Old and New (The Sonnet) Old is not necessarily gold, New is not necessarily cool. Stereotypes without scrutiny, Sustain only a society of fools. Answer to one stereotype is not another, Answer to one assumption is not another. To make assumption is not wrong but, To assume it as truth supreme is rhubarb. Perception is all about assumption, Our brain hasn't evolved to observe reality. Biases prevent the observation of biases, unless, You are hellbent to expand across comfort and luxury. Stereotypes are archetypes of self-preservation. Look outside the self and you'll find assimilation.”

“Evolution & Electronics (The Sonnet) I know electronic circuitry like the back of my hand, Yet it's the human mind that fascinates me most immensely. Fascination in electronics lies in new design possibility, Whereas the mind is the breeding ground of all possibility. Our engineering is puny compared to that of Mother Nature, Each day a new mystery unfolds in the vast organic kingdom. Our puny electronics work based on cold 'n rigid computation, Evolution of life in nature is predicated on plastic mutation. That's why we must never disregard nature blinded by arrogance, We may have conquered nature's mercy but we're still subordinate. The moment a lifeform starts to vilify the womb whence it came, With a single blow creator nature can flatten all our obstinance. Foster humility and wisdom, before going nuts about technology. Don't end up yet another fancy stain upon the honor of humanity.”

“Perception is not observation, Perception is prediction. The brain doesn't care about observing, It only puts forward a self-serving illusion.”

“Mi Nombre es Humano (El Soneto) Preguntaste, ¿cuál es mi nación? Digo, es humanidad. Preguntaste, ¿cuál es mi idioma? Digo, es bondad. Preguntaste, ¿cuál es mi cultura? Digo, es humanidad. Preguntaste, ¿cuál es mi tradicion? Digo, es humildad. Preguntaste, ¿cuál es mi género? Digo, es coraje. Preguntaste, ¿cuál es mi religion? Digo, es desinterés. Preguntaste todo, excepto mi objetivo. Te digo, es unir el universo.”

“Light Impossible (The Sonnet) A candle knows only to give light, Despite being surrounded by darkness. Darkness cannot affect the candle's light, A candle cannot be coerced into heartlessness. The struggle for light has never been easy, If it were, light would be but a cigarette-butt. Light is priceless, hence the struggle is eternal, To be light is to be alive, even amidst the dark. To be light is to see light, this is the law, To be good is to see good, this is the way. One whose hands are guided by love and light, Even amidst ominous storms never goes astray. Love for the world causes light impossible. For love for the people is love untameable.”

“Peygamber Parabrahma (The Sonnet) In a world where segregation is sanity, True sanity begins with insanity. You have to be insane to be egalitarian, Inclusion is instilled through insanity. In a world where indifference is sanity, True sanity begins with insanity. You have to be insane to take a stand, Accountability comes through insanity. In a world where selfishness is sanity, True sanity begins with insanity. You have to be insane to be wiped out for others, Amidst inhumanity, humanity comes through insanity. Sanity beyond sanity comes from the human beyond human. Only such human is peygamber, such human is parabrahman.”

“Reclaim The Planet (The Sonnet) Monsters spread their tentacles, Because the masters are asleep. Puny hyenas rule the world, When the tigers are asleep. Enough with pleading, to hell with decency! Monsters only understand the language of roar. When the predator comes to feast on your family, Will you happily make way for them to pleasure more? Doesn't the thought boil your blood – good, it should! It means that your backbone is still alive. Now turn all your attention on your every pore, Feel through your veins the surge of might. No more pleading, no more begging to be treated as humans! It's time for the humans to reclaim the planet from the inhumans!”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 99 Rise, revolt and roar out loud, No more pleading in front of prejudice! Breathe, burn and brave out loud, No more bearing in front of malice! Dream, dare and dance out loud, No more dangling as docile doormat! Heave, hold and help out loud, No more retreat in front of cold updraught! Fall, fix and forge out loud, No more settling as the forgotten figures! Grow, glow, and break out loud, No more groveling at the feet of bloodsuckers! Only antidote to oppression is civilian unsubmission. When the children go astray, it’s time for parental intervention.”

“Diplomacy won't bring peace, only heartfelt nonjudgmental conversation will. So, for once O Nations of Earth, forget your national insecurities and sit down together, not as nations but as humans, not to negotiate, but to communicate.”

“You don’t have the right to reproduce, unless you are doing your part to reduce carbon emission. Reproduction is an animal tenet but for it to be a human right, the human must carry out the duties that go along with reproduction, that is to make sure the newborns actually have a healthy world to live in, not one infested with disease and geopolitical conflicts.”

“Representation is Degradation (The Sonnet) Nationalism is but a precursor to fascism, Representation is but a precursor to corruption. Delegation is but a precursor to destitution, Law-abidance is but a precursor to degradation. Representation without accountability is just, As undemocratic as taxation without representation. Trading in one party for another is not change, But merely the re-initiation of prehistoric division. Democracy that shows no sign of nonpartisanism, Is but a petri dish of prejudice most blinding. Such a democracy stuck on representation, Is but a silent dictatorship in the making. Neither law nor party loyalty will elevate the society. All my hope, therefore, lies upon civilian responsibility.”
