Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“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.”

“Not politician - not soldier - not scientist - not philosopher - not a professional of any kind - but a human being - a human being with the fire of accountability - that's what the world is desperately craving for. And that human - that majestic, life-giving, torch-bearing, vigorous human - is not going to fall from the sky - for it is nobody else but you.”

“I hold all of you a traitor till you start doing your part for those in misery. What gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you feel for the humans - what gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you think for the humans - what gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you act for the humans!”

“The individual must choose in which direction they want to take this world of ours - will they take it down the same rotten path of sectarianism like our ancestors did, or will they build a whole new civilized path - a path that facilitates love, not hate - a path that facilitates discussion, not debate - a path that unites, not divides - in short, a path that is human, not savage!”

“Plight of A Humanitarian (The Sonnet) My dear people of earth, I die everyday so that your children can live. My dear people of earth, You've been selfish for long now it's time to give. My dear people of earth, I struggle everyday with your interest on top. My dear people of earth, Enough of this tribalism now it's time to grow up. My dear people of earth, I'm really tired and weary righting all wrong. My dear people of earth, Join me in making a world where we all belong. I promise I don't want much from you. All I ask is that you bid your sectarianism adieu.”

“When Love Awakens (The Sonnet) When love awakens so will the world, For love is the seed of civilization. When love awakens the conflicts will end, For love is the gateway to assimilation. When care crosses family suffering will wither, For selfishness is the cause of miseries. When the soul is clear enough to reflect all, All separation will turn into memories. When breath of one becomes the breath of all, All atrocious walls will collapse into dust. When there’s no more ‘my people your people’, Only then we will be human at last. When the fire of love engulfs our whole being, Time will bear witness to humanity's uprising.”

“The Loco Sonnet Better to be loco for something, Than to be sane for nothing. Better to fight and die for a purpose, Than to sit around and do chanting. Better to love and be exploited, Than to be self-obsessed and crooked. Better to disagree and annoy each other, Than to hide the differences fostering hatred. Better to be a know-nothing idiot, Than to be a know-it-all loudspeaker. Better a character without fancy clothes, Than fancy clothes without character. There’s no future without a united humanity. The whole world is a reflection of me.”

“The concept of world peace is nothing but a publicity stunt - for there to be real peace we actually have to stop living as tribal savages and start living as universal humans whose family are the humans, whose religion are the humans, whose philosophy are the humans.”

“People often ask me, "you are not a believer in the common sense of the term, then why don't you call yourself an atheist", I tell them, "that's because atheists place all importance on facts, I place all importance on people". As a scientist, I am very much aware of the value of facts, but facts are never more important than the people, in fact, they are only valuable so long as they serve the welfare of people - in circumstances where facts go against the welfare of the people, a civilized human must always choose people over facts.”

“Often pastors as well as my fellow scientists ask me - are you a believer or non-believer - I smile and reply, all I care about is to abolish the barriers that people have raised among themselves. I work to create living Christs in every field of society to take care of every corner of the world.”

“What does the river, the trees, the sun care about the concept of God - their sole purpose is to sustain life on earth - and so is mine. Christ made his sacrifice for his love for society, I have made my sacrifice for my love for society, and I believe strongly more than anything else, that this tradition of sacrifice will continue through many more Christs and Naskars, so long as there is human suffering on earth.”

“Civilization starts with us, so if we want to build a just and humane civilization, we must be just and humane ourselves. Look in the mirror - what do you see - do you see an animal that looks like a human - or do you see something more - look deeply - look beyond the shape and everything external - and you'll witness an entire civilization in the shape of a human.”

“Two Liberties (A Sonnet) There is not one but two liberties, One is savage and the other is civilized. Savage liberty lacks accountability, The civilized one makes us humanized. In the jungle liberty is the supreme law, But one that involves no accountability. Thus injustice is the norm of wildlife, But it can't be accepted in human society. Accountability is the line of control, Between human and animal behavior. You don't need intellect to draw the line, All you need is a well-formed character. So liberty must be guided by accountability, Only then can we create a sane society.”

“Once upon a time there was a wealthy king. He had a huge garden and he employed two gardeners to take care of it. One of them was absolutely useless - he would lazily spend all his time without doing a single work around the garden, but whenever his master visited, he would simply usher him with praise. The other gardener was a humble fellow and rather a quiet one. He didn't talk much, but he worked the whole day taking care of the garden and grew all sorts of beautiful flowers and fruits. Now who do you think would be most beloved to the king! Many people call this king God, I call it nature. And one who takes care of the children of the king is more beloved to the king than the one who does nothing but talks highly of the king.”

“Most people confuse divinity with magic, but here is the reality of the matter - there is no magical or extraterrestrial divinity involved in the affairs of the human world - the divinity that can make any difference in our world is the divinity that we hold in our heart - the divinity which is commonly known as humanity. You may attend a thousand churches and yet die as a divine vacuum, but one who does everything in their power to help others with or without any special inclination for the church, is the very embodiment of divinity.”

“The only way you can see someone turn water into wine without resorting to trickery is if you are already drunk.

“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.”
