Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“What is Science, What is Holy (Sonnet) There is no greater spiritual journey than the rejection of prejudice, there is no greater meditation than self-imposed scrutiny. Bringing a candle to a neighbor's home who had their power cut off, is far holier than lighting a thousand candles in the church. If you bring electricity to a marginalized community with a simple solar power kit, it's a far greater scientific achievement than the gargantuan glories of the LHC. There is no greater scientific achievement than simple science solving big problems. There is no greater holiness than trading in the bible for a simple act of kindness.”

“Manavad Gita, Sonnet (Song of Human) Cosmos is my koran, Brahmand is my bible. No writ is whole enough, to contain mind indivisible. All say their scripture is god-given*, it takes holiness to find humans holy. To surpass the superstition of *bhagavad, is the beginning of civilized sanctity. My holiness is in my hands, no fantasy is my authority. I'm not against faith of fiction, but it's time for human based divinity. If you need myths to sustain your holiness, it's a lot of things, but it ain't holy. Holiness of humans cares for the humans, this is my song offering to humanity.”

“More than being the spark of reason, Be the reason for someone's spark. Better than bearing the light of faith, Instill faith in someone's light. Intellect don't impress me much, Devoutness of doctrine repulses me. Have you ever made a stranger smile, Ever left your seat to the elderly!”

“How dare a person tell a woman, how to dress, how to talk, how to behave! Any being who does that, is no human.”

“Sonnet of Heaven and Hell There's a tale we hear of a heavenly kingdom, Which is passed on through generations. Because once you place salvation outside life, Accountability vanishes from all prioritization. Self-determination makes one unfit for slavery, Reason makes one unfit for manipulation. If you take charge of your life and community, Institutions fail to dictate your ambition. Heaven and hell exist here and now, They are manifestations of human behavior. Acts of oneness bring heaven in a moment, Deeds of division breed hell from thin air. The paradigm we have was made yesterday. It is our world, let's build it our way.”

“Real religion does not mean Gods - it does not mean Angels and Demons - it does not mean miracles of healing. Real religion is all about you and your fellow humans. There is nothing else.”

“As a species, we have wasted a lot of our time on this planet holding on to the purely discriminatory and non-variant versions of our exclusively personal realities. Great many ages have passed this way – and it made us lose a lot – our sisters, our brothers, our loved ones – all because, while some of us were trying to hold on to our own “pure” “personal” world, others were doing the same. And all through history it has only led to death and destruction. And after all this, if we still can’t whole-heartedly embrace the beauty and the magnificence of diversity, then I am sad to say that we don’t deserve to call ourselves human.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 52 Humanhood isn't him, her or them, Humanhood requires realization beyond sex. Pronouns may be a step in the right direction, But they are not passport for arrogance and disrespect. The purpose is to erase hate from society, And we ain't gonna do that by passing judgment. If we want there to be equity and acceptance, We must learn to trample first our own arrogance. Rebelling for the sake of rebelling achieves nothing, Arrogance only produces just another bitter creature. In trying to fight against prejudice and oppression, Be cautious that you don't end up as the new oppressor. Revolution is the foundation of civilization's evolution, But it must be rooted in gentleness, not cancellation.”

“If you choose not to speak up and stay deaf, dumb and blind instead, then take this oath - "all bigots, fundamentalists and sectarianists are my bosom friends - I shall always be faithful to them - I shall always stand by them, no matter how inhuman they behave - and I shall always do my best to promote their atrocities by maintaining my silence in the face of prejudice, hatred and inhumanism".”

“Stand up and speak up loud - "I am the pillar of justice - I am the pillar of courage - I am the pillar of honor - I am the pillar of action without rage. No injustice can brew while I am standing - no discrimination can pester while I am walking - no hate can spread while I am present - no prejudice can prevail while I am still breathing.”

“Let's renounce our weapons and become a beacon of hope and hatelessness in the vastness of our universe. If any extraterrestrial race is observing us, let them know that the little blue dot may be tiny in size, but it holds unimaginable potential for greatness and glory. As the saying goes, big things come in small packages. Let them know, the tiny blue dot in a corner of the Milky Way, doesn't just hold intelligent life, it holds the life that knows the value of life.”

“I Am The Naskar (Sonnet 2100) I am the Naskar, and I bridge people. Unlike religious salesmen, I don't offer you a promised land - because there is nothing to promise, that land of love and life already exists - it exists in your neurons - all you need to do is, bring down the walls that keep you foreign, all you need to do is, denounce the pills that keep you alien in your own home. And when I've drawn all my mortal breaths, I'll take leave with one final declaration - let there be gods - not one, not three, but billions upon billions - let each human be a god unto themselves - without fear, without prejudice - without superstition, without cynicism - let each mind rise triumphant over malice.”

“Naskar, The Journey (Sonnet 1540) The journey began with Art of Neuroscience, I was the rookie scholar in the block. Amateurish intellectualism was quite evident, till my voice took charge in the 11th work. Finally yours truly was speaking on his own, without leaning on those who came before. Riding on a whim, along came sonnets, Prose and poetry fused in Naskarean ore. Thus original Naskar started pouring out, as Hurricane Human, Hometown Human 'n more, Martyr Meets World to Mücadele Muhabbet, all as bedrock of assimilation galore. The journey that began with science, soon turned into a humanitarian tsunami. Rooted in love, tempered by reason - I'm the furnace of peace, piety 'n poetry.”
