Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“The moment you place your eyes on the ever-radiant glare of humanity in the depth of your heart, all separations would disappear from your field of vision - all barriers would crumble to dust from the fabric of your perception – and what will prevail is a plain, ordinary, sanctifying sense of humanity - only humanity would remain and everything else would turn completely blank - not an object, not a name, not a culture, not a creed, not even a sound - you could see nothing, you could hear nothing, you could feel nothing - all you could comprehend - all you could perceive - all you could realize - is that one fervor - that one fountain of uncorrupted light - your light.”

“After spending most of my life in the observation of religions and beliefs, I have come to one realization - we cannot make a civilized and secular world by talking about religion, we can do so only by speaking of kindness, dreaming of kindness and living of kindness.”

“Black doesn't mean dangerous, white doesn't mean trash, brown doesn't mean smuggler, muslim doesn't mean terrorist, woman doesn't mean weak, and lgbt doesn't mean sick. These are the fundamentals that we must realize if we are to build a just and humane society.”

“Character means everything that is human about you… Character means a sense of community - character means a desire for learning and growth - character means the guts to admit and mend one's own errors and shortcomings - character means the yearning for assimilation.”

“One culture was not enough for me, I had to feel all the cultures of the world rushing through my veins filling up every molecule in my body - it was a burning desire - as urgent as the thirst of a person who hasn't had water for months. Hence, I assimilated as many cultures as possible and made them one with my existence.”

“Take a glass of water, now tell me, is it Christian water, or Jewish water, or Islamic water or Atheist water. It's just water. A human ought to be like that water, whose purpose is to quench the thirst of humans, not of any specific religion, culture or gender, but all humans.”
