Every Generation Needs Caretakers: The Gospel of Patriotism Quotes

“What is the point of you? What is your worth? And by worth I am not talking about your financial value, I am talking about something much more significant than that. So, I ask again - what is your worth? And you won't find the answer in any scripture or church - you won't find it even in this book. Because no external power can give you the answer to something so incredibly existential in nature. If you want to know your worth, ask yourself, what are you without your bank account. The worth of a person lies in character. The same goes for a nation and the same goes for a world. Therefore, a nation's worth lies not in the value of its currency, but in the character of its people. And it all begins with the individual - it all begins with you. Your character holds not just the worth of your own life, but that of the lives of your people as well. So, feel like it's the feeling of your society and act like it's the action of your society. But mark you, here I do not mean, feeling and acting like the society, rather, I am asking you to feel, think and act as an original, brave and conscientious human being, so that you become the very emblem of humanhood in front of others, for them to draw their life’s inspiration from. Doing what the society wants, makes you a second hand human - wanting the society to do what you want, makes you a narcissistic bigot - but being an embodiment of humanhood without any expectation from others, is what makes you a sentient human.”

“Jesus died about two thousand years ago - Buddha died about five hundred years before that - and so will I. But our ideas of liberty, conscience and character will never perish from the face of this earth, so long as there is even one human being awake enough to see the society as their own family.”

“No messiah is coming to save us or our world, it is us who have to save ourselves as well as our world. We are our own responsibility - our world is our responsibility - our people are our responsibility. And anybody who takes the responsibility of their society on their shoulder, is a patriot - such a person is the real Christ, real Buddha, real Naskar of their time.”

“There is no greater happiness than in relieving the sorrow of others. There is no greater joy, than being an ingredient in the joy of others. There is no greater patriotism than this - there is no greater humanism than this - there is no greater religion than this - there is no higher divinity than this.”

“My body is a temple and each cell in it holds the image of my God - my humankind. Whatever I do I do for my God - whatever I create I create to serve my God - whatever I discover I discover to aid my God. My work is my offering to my God - my life is my offering to my God, for I have nothing grander to offer than my life.”

“Intellectuals and celebrities may cry, peace, peace – harmony, harmony – progress, progress, but no peace, progress and harmony can manifest outside the pages of books, unless the individual stands tall with the head held high and utters with utmost grace and glory to others - give me your agony and I will give you my life.”

“Behold my humanity, thou shalt always find me standing next to you, during your darkest days and fiercest nights – thou shalt never be alone, so long as thou have faith in me, nay yourself - for I and you are not separate - I live nowhere else but in you - you live nowhere else but in me.”

“Uniting humanity is not just my dream or purpose, it is the very life-blood that runs through my veins - I and my dream are one - I and my purpose are one. Hence, Naskar is not a name, it is an insignia of a united humanity.”

“If No One Comes, Walk Alone (A Sonnet) If no one comes hearing your call - walk alone, For the price of rigidity is greater than the cost of a fall. If no one comes hearing your call - speak alone, For the price of silence is greater than the cost of a scorn. If no one comes hearing your call - reason alone, For the price of prejudice is greater than the cost of loneliness. If no one comes hearing your call - think alone, For the price of bigotry is greater than the cost of feeling groundless. If no one comes hearing your call - dream alone, For the price of conformity is greater than the cost of failure. If no one comes hearing your call - act alone, For the price of inaction is greater than the cost of alleged misdemeanor. If no one comes hearing your call, o brave titan - carry the society on your own, For peace, progress and harmony are caused by the acts of the one alone.”
