Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Birds never know (Sonnet) Birds never know if the sun will rise, yet they sing everyday right before dawn. And sure enough the night collapses, into the arms of the rising sun. Kiss the world like morning sun, Sing to the sky like waking birds. Fret not the fears of wild insecurity, You do your task with dutybound heart. Touch the soul like summer breeze, Hug the soil like monsoon rain. Life is calling, can't you hear! Universe awaits your humane reign.”

“Sorumluluk bize onur verir, Onur bize cesaret verir. Onurlu ol, sorumluluğunu taşı, Sorumluluk bize hayatı öğretir. Dünya benim, sorumluluk benim - Böyle der bir gerçek insan. Umut ben, cevap ben - Böyle der bilinçli vicdan.”

“In general, if we leave out the atheistic fraction of world population that possesses no notable optimistic or positive Qualia of God, the majority of the human species possesses a beneficial Qualia of God enriched with blissful sentiments.”

“In most cases, people argue over the term God, without having the perception of another person’s own idea of the word. Hence, often people with an atheistic perspective of the world attribute the God of many religious individuals to be an angry, authoritarian and vengeful God who acts like a human being and lives in the clouds or in heaven. But the irony is, most religious individuals do not conceive God in an anthropomorphic or angry way. Rather, in their personal psychological domain of religious or spiritual beliefs, they conceive God in more abstract, spiritual and merciful way.”

“He (Mohammed) was an ordinary man just like any other man. And as such his personal instincts, urges, drives as well as his philosophical goodness bubbled to the surface of his consciousness when he attained the Absolute Unitary Qualia.”

“The Great Activist (Sonnet) The world doesn't need another climate summit, the world needs a climate summon, and not from some fair-weather activist that jumps from one trend to another, like privileged white women hop from pseudoscience to pseudoscience - the world needs a climate summon from the commoners of the world, everyday ordinary people with a mundane job and a mundane life - when these people sense the immediate emergency that the planet faces, then no amount of performative policy will be required anymore, because there is no greater environmental stabilizer than commoners jolted to duty - the greatest activist is the conscientious commoner.”

“When I started training myself in Neurobiology, Psychology and Theology, mostly on the streets of Calcutta, at the book kiosks on the sidewalk, for I had no money to buy the books, I had no academic background - no college degree - no potential for earning a decent living - I was a direction-less canoe in the open sea. I did not come from a rich or learned family, nor did I have rich friends, so, as far as everybody else was concerned, my life was doomed. I come from the humblest of origins - like did Ramanujan, like did Tesla, like did many more legendary thinkers of human history. I didn't know the rules of academia - I didn't know the laws and the norms of the scientific community - all I knew was that I had to understand the humans if I were to unite them. Other than that, I had no clue to my future. I learnt by failing - I learnt by making errors - I learnt by moving slowly but surely, and by never losing my sense of awe. And that's really what science is about - it's about naivety, curiosity and awe.”

“That day, the great mind in neuroscience Michael A. Persinger, who is now a good friend of mine, made me realize that it was no other field of Science but Neuroscience that held the key to solving the quintessential problems of consciousness. He coaxed me into the science of the neurons and the rest as you know is history. Without Persinger, Naskar and Neuroscience would never have been linked together. Imbued with new knowledge, confidence and excessive curiosity, I officially turned my attention to one of the loftiest goals of modern science - understanding the biological nature of the human mind. That day on, I officially got into the world of Neuroscience.”

“Government is not devoid of flaws, law is not devoid of flaws, constitution is not devoid of flaws - because the human society that gave rise to all these societal apparatus in an attempt to build a civilized world, was itself in the making. And the fact of the matter is, we still are in the making. We may call ourselves human, but we are yet to become one.”

“Yeni Peygamber (Sorumluluk Şiiri) Her yerde hayvan! Her yerde kıyamet! Yeter ceset gibi uyumak! İnsan insan olmalı, zaman geldi! Yine de eğer sen bana sorarsan, Tek başına ne yapabilirsin! Gerçekten istiyorsan, tek başına, Dünyaya insanlığı öğretebilirsin. Eğer istersen, tek başına, insanların, Ağlamayı gülümsemeye dönüştürebilirsin. Asıl soru, sen sorumlu bir insan mısın, Yoksa insan görünümlü bir hayvan mısın? Uyan kardeşim, her hayvanlığa cevap sensin. Bu zor zamanda dünyanın yeni peygamber sensin.”
