Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Over the years, quite a few sonnets never saw the light of day, because every time I write something radical, I always ask myself three questions - first, is it true - second, is it kind - and finally, is it necessary? And often it's at the final question, that I'm reluctantly compelled to press delete on quite a few texts. Yet I don't regret it, in fact, once I do delete that bit of my creation, I feel a huge load off my back - because, my mission is not mindless radicalism, my mission is mindful humanizing of the world. In the absence of heart, even truth becomes mindless - and the mindless never know they're mindless, they feel like it's an act of courage.”

“Naskarism, Marxism, Buddhism, Sufism, Confucianism, Christianism, Judaism, it's all human construct. As such, none of it is infallible. Yours truly admits that, so did my friend Sid (Buddha), as well as my brother Mevlana (Rumi). And what's wrong with acknowledging the possibility of folly anyway! It is only through folly that fervor unfolds - it is only through mistakes that the mind expands.”

“Publish and Forget, Sonnet (When Scientist becomes Poet) Write till you drop dead, that's my motto of writing. I don't do promotions, have never done book signings. In fact, once I release a work, I forget and move on to the next. In an industry driven by book sales, My principle is, publish and forget. I never remember how much I have written, though the vastness is staggering to many. All I can think of, how much I have to write, before I drift into the slumber of non-entity. At birth we become elements to entity, upon death the entity reverts to elements. Make sure to make your trip mean something, more reason to transcend foolish containments.”

“Beyond tongue and tradition, Beyond ignorance and intolerance, Beyond fear and fanaticism, Beyond rigidity and recklessness, Beyond the desert of dead habit, Beyond the logical heartlessness, Beyond the lies of selfish order, Beyond the highs of whims and wishes, There's a valley of love and laughter. Come someday, I shall meet you there.”

“Sonnet 2000 (My Real Legacy) My real legacy is not the books or the sonnets, but the unbending humanitarians I've set on fire. The literature is just a vessel for the spirit, spirit of a world united, in reason and in care. Ceaseless slurs are daily occurrence, Mindless hate indeed plenty I face. Yet I've kept all vengeance in check, Never have I ever been lost in bitterness. I am the line that I've drawn for myself, Can't tell you how to behave, how not. I stand steady as the human impossible, Rest is up to you, what to take, what not. I don't come from wealth, nor could I amass any, I set out with zero dollars, and no publicity. World integration is my life's first madness - this madness I leave for you, now it's your duty.”

“Sonnets to Write Before I Sleep (The Sonnet) When I finished my first 1000 sonnets, I felt, now I shall take it slow. But now at the finishing of second 1000, I feel, I gotta write thousands more! The first thousand took me four years, the second thousand took me two years, all without an ounce of industry support, I am the sole maker of my literary empire. Sonnets are my vessel of reason, Sonnets are my bearer of justice. Sonnets are my medium of divinity, I'm my sonnets - antidote to malice. Proof of poetry is in the spirit, Proof of justice is among the just. Worlds to unite before I sleep, Proof of life is in standing guard.”

“Where God Retreats (The Sonnet) Where God retreats, Human must step in. Where myths fall short, Mind must intervene. Where doctrines dwindle, Conscience must march uncorrupt. Where scriptures fall cripple, Character must stand on guard. Where logic dreads to tread, Love must rush to rescue life. Where governments legalize fear, Citizens must be bearer of light. Advance of Human is advance of God. Wishful indolence is religion of the cod.”
