Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Sapiens (Sonnet 1410) Sapiens is a promise to stand grounded in people, Sapiens is a duty to stand firm on principle. Sapiens is an alarm to wake up from apathy, Sapiens is mindful revolt against inherited atrocity. Sapiens is rightful rebellion against dehumanizing intellect, Sapiens is sentient uproar against puritanism boneheaded. Sapiens is the saintly answer to the clarion call of life, True sapiens is saintly sapiens, all else is desecration of life.”

“O my brave Almighty Human, with the ever-effulgent flow of courage, conscience and compassion, turn yourself into a vivacious humanizer, and start walking with bold footsteps while eliminating racism, terminating misogyny, destroying homophobia and all other primitiveness that have turned humanity into the most inhuman species on earth.”

“English is my second language, My first language is love. Neuroscience is my second sense, My first sense is love. Theology is my second faith, My first faith is interfaith. Philosophy is my second nature, My first nature is to assimilate.”

“Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 95 Nature always tries to trick us most strongly, Into being a filthy bunch of egotistical morons. If we stand true to our conviction of community, No cockeyed canine is gonna dictate our terms. Survival of the fittest is the motto of animal, Sacrifice for the helpless is the motto of human. The decision is to be made by none but you, What'll you spend your life as - animal or human! Let's not spend another day with cold shoulder, Let us rather put all of our shoulders together. Only then we will be a tad stronger than history, And rise as the mightiest descendant of Nature. To conquer ourselves is to conquer space and time. We live the fullest when we live as people's lifeline.”

“Normal human behavior is community, not self-obsession - normal human behavior is reasoning, not superstition - normal human behavior is warmth, not discrimination - normal human behavior means a plain ordinary decency towards every single human being on earth, not a suspicious condescension.”

“Sonnet of Behavior The beauty that you see with your eyes, Is but an illusive sign of fertility. The beauty that you see with your mind, Is a sign of life, truth and eternity. The peace that you seek in possessions, Is but a mirage most rotten. The peace that is dormant in your heart, Will make this world awakened. The order that you seek in law, Is but a sign of disorder and inhumanity. The order that the world truly needs, Is born of your own accountability. Chasing illusions breeds only insecurity. Pursue meaning and there'll be serenity.”

M for mercy can never be forgotten, N for naivety keeps you from being rotten. O for oppression when is begotten, P for patience must be overridden. Q for questions when let fly, R for rigidity will weaken and die. S for serenity will go awry, T for tradition if obeyed dry. U for unity is our supreme mission, V for vanity leads only to destruction. W for wholeness is our salvation, X for xenophobia is no civilization. Y for yield we must never to separation, Z for zeal we mustn't lose for ascension.”

“The title human is not some family heirloom that is handed down through generations - each generation must earn the title - and not just that, each generation must rediscover the very definition of the term human in their own way and make it evolve with the needs of the time.”

“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.”

“By its very nature, the human mind, having a long history of animal instincts, is prone to inhuman corruption. That’s why it’s easier for a human to be a racist, but harder to be a human – it’s easier for a human to be homophobic, but harder to be a human – it’s easier for a human to be promiscuous, but harder to be a human - it’s easier for a human to be an inhuman, but harder to be a human. Yes, it’s hard – yes it’s less natural, than the alternative, yet, this very unnatural, hard endeavor of the mind determines whether you and I are going to raise a society of true humans or a society of good-looking savages.”

“The fundamentalists take pride in the exclusive supremacy of their own scriptures, the nationalists take pride in the exclusive greatness of their own national heritage, the so-called intellectuals take pride in the exclusive glory of their own field of work. And pride in one thing inadvertently brings along either subconscious or conscious condescension towards all other things belonging to other people.”

“Non-violent resistance to evil is a quintessential element of the character of a real human being. If someone does wrong to me, I may be physically capable of breaking his jaw with one blow of my fist, but such violent reciprocation does not define the strength of my character as a real human being. If I succeed in resisting my limbic urge to do harm in return, then only can I be hailed as human being of real character.”

“Love has no gender - compassion has no religion - character has no race.”

“Being homosexual is no more abnormal than being lefthanded.”

“Either you are homophobic or you are a human - you cannot be both.”

“In the unification of two minds, orientation of sexuality is irrelevant.”

“Can you imagine, somebody telling you, your love for your dearly beloved is a sin! Can you imagine, somebody telling you, women are inferior to men, and are meant only serve the men! Can you imagine, somebody telling you, a man can have multiple wives, and yet be deemed civilized! Here that somebody is a fundamentalist ape - a theoretical pest from the stone-age, that somehow managed to survive even amidst all the rise of reasoning and intellect.”

“Homosexuals are not made, they are born.”
