Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Goodbye Mother (The Sonnet) Bid me goodbye o mother, Be right back once I plant unity. If I do not return from my journey, Soothe yourself knowing I've died happily. These rusted shackles hurt too much, It's time o mother to abolish them forever. Shoulder to shoulder your children will walk, At the sight of our conviction bigots will quiver. The sacred river of life has long gone dry, I'll resuscitate it with my blood and integrity. Your children are my family o mother, With my last breath I will fortify their destiny. Bless me o mother of all for my mission awaits. I'll return victorious or die a martyr's death.”

“You are the knights of Naskar - you have no relation with segregation - you have no attachment to bigotry - you have no allegiance to any ideology - the only allegiance that you have is not to me, not to any scripture, not to any school of thought, but to the humankind and humankind alone.”

“There are two selves in us all - one self is amateur, foolish and selfish - that self says, 'I am all, my word is supreme, my belief is the highest, my opinions are the best' - then there is another self, which is wise, caring and conscientious - it says, 'I am nothing, I am the servant of people, my interest is in benefiting others, my life is their keepsake'.”

“All humans are my sisters and brothers. My life is meaningful only if the people of earth can find meaning for their own life in it. I have no side - I have no sect - I have no exclusive belief - for I am universal, I am omnipresent, I am omnipotent. Wherever there is a human who works through failures, there lives a Naskar - wherever there is a human who lends a caring hand to those in distress, there lives a Naskar. But it’s irrelevant whether I am called Naskar or Christ or Buddha or Shankara or Shams or anything else - what matters is that the force behind these names is one and the same - it's the force of love - it's the force of service - it's the force of sacrifice.”

“Even in the face of blazing wildfire, move ahead with the love of the people. In spite of cataclysmic tornadoes, march ahead refusing to step back. Bullets may bring hell down on you - all the artilleries in the world may be charged at you - but never forget o mighty being of conscience, you are the one and only hope for the upliftment of the people.”

“Take My Life (The Sonnet) Take my life if you want, But nothing can take my sight away. Take my breath if you want, But nothing can take my might away. Take my feet if you want, But nothing can take my journey away. Take my arms if you want, But nothing can take my touch away. Take my tongue if you want, But nothing can take my voice away. Take my bones if you want, But nothing can take my will away. You can erase me from earth if you so desire, But you can't stop my ideas from spreading like wildfire.”

“The Maker (Sonnet) Step by step we'll reach the mountaintop, We'll build roads penetrating impediments. Bit by bit we'll trash our conformities, We’ll erect civilization upon reason and sentiments. Day and night we'll stand tall in service, Through storm, rain, heat and gloom. There's no time for selfishness, Being selfish would bring universal doom. Sanity is in giving and caring, It’s in every act of collective concern. Because if you care only for the self, Deserting your children your neighbors will run. The world is our home and we must be its caretaker. Comfort is luxury, it’s time we rise as the maker.”

“Hurricane Humans (A Sonnet) Come all ye misfits and rebels, Let's march to shatter the games. Break all golden chains of comfort, Let's work forgetting our names. Come all ye sneered and mocked, We must burn as flames of unity. Let's turn into a human tsunami, And wash away all hate and rigidity. Hurricane humans we are o brethren, Savagery no more is master to us. The fountain of inclusion is our lifeblood, We won't let tradition break our universe. Let’s finally build the kingdom of heaven, With clay from our heart’s unifying Eden.”

“I am to create a new order of humans - hurricane humans, who are devout believers in service and care nothing for worldly pleasures. Are you that human? If you are, then erase every bit of self from the soil of your mind and place society in its place.”
