Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Amidst the sea of joy-seeking juveniles, Be the one anomaly that feasts on pain. Seek out the pain among those around, Rush down to heal like monsoon rain.”

“Generation Understanding (Sonnet 2480) No matter what the apes want you to believe, it's not weakness to abandon suspicion, it's not weakness to discard judgment, it's not weakness to practice empathy, it's not weakness to be considerate - it's not misdemeanor to denounce primitive practices that our ancestors thought sensible, it's a sign of wisdom, not stupidity, to admit ignorance, rather than succumb to supernatural. My favorite answer of all is, 'I don't know' - in the absence of rigorous investigation that's the answer I fall back on the most; then there are times when logic is immaterial, there I avoid all mention of knowledge, and take the humane course, despite reason or ritual.”

“Anybody with martial training and engineering skills can be a superhero, but that doesn’t make them a hero. Superhero culture is dangerous, for it facilitates a paradigm of secret identity. And consistent practice of such secrecy eventually ruins an individual's accountability. You don't see soldiers hiding their identity do you, no matter how much they've got to lose!”

“Comic book fans come in many forms - Some attend comicon, Some visit the vatican, Some visit vrindavan. Some bury head in the bible, Some bury head in das kapital. When pages of books are prioritized over humanity, world gets infested with sheeple.”

“Comic book fans come in many forms - Some attend comicon, Some visit the vatican, Some visit vrindavan. Some bury head in the bible, Some bury head in das kapital. When pages of books are prioritized over humanity, world gets infested with sheeple. Mind begins in the wake of chains, Life begins in the wake of sect. A hundred hajj won't make you holy, If your heart is ever cold and dead.”

“Leaders and disciples, queens and subjects, preachers and pupils - all these are a sign of a sectarian society, all these are a sign of a sick society. No queen, no subject - no leader, no disciple - in love all are one, one is all.”

“You are the gospel you need to read, You are the path you need to walk. You are the torch you need to light, You are the voice you need to talk. You are the sight you need to see, You are the thirst you need to quench. You are the warmth you need to wear, You are the drought you need to drench. You are the muck you need to mend, You are the wrong you need to right. You are the storm you need to brave, You are the fate you need to write.”

“You are the gospel you need to read, You are the path you need to walk. You are the torch you need to light, You are the voice you need to talk. You are the muck you need to mend, You are the wrong you need to right. You are the storm you need to brave, You are the fate you need to write.”

“Burn my friend, burn, Burn so bright that the sun gets fried! Shine my friend, shine, Shine so bright that Rudolf goes blind! Smile my friend, smile, Smile so pure that flowers shy away. Love my friend, love, Love so drunk that Rumi himself lays the way. Fly my friend, fly, Fly so fearless that Tagore himself honors you. Live my friend, live, Live so unchained that time makes gospel of you.”

“Ideas Surpass Gold (Sonnet 1530) Most of my boldest ideas are available online without paywall. Which means, you don't need to pay, to integrate my ideas into your life. Since I don't have an industry behind, it does help when you make a purchase. But I never ask no one to buy my books, I'd rather starve than monetize oneness. Soon this body will surpass corporeal chains, monetary demands of living will collapse a lie. I mustn't stain my sacred life craving coins, Ideas must surpass gold to surpass time.”

“Don't Have to Agree, to Love (Sonnet 1347) You don't have to agree with a person completely, to love them - accept them. There are a few, I disagree with plenty, yet till death, I'll fight for them. Not all that Rumi wrote apply today, yet I love Mevlana like my own brother. Even more of Aquinas are out of date, yet like a friend I love my Thomas. Heart doesn't care about consensus of the brain, Heart only cares for an inexplicable closeness. Intellect has no bearing over heart's closeness, Often intellect is a barrier to life's wholeness. Intellect is boon, but only when it helps wholeness. Being right is not necessarily the mark of goodness.”

“No Time, No Space (The Sonnet) There is no time, no space, There is only love. There is no intellect, no philosophy, There is only love. There is no defeat, no victory, There is only love. There is no loss, no gain, There is only love. There is no path, no pedestrian, There is only love. There is no mission, no means, There is only love. All of us are either echoes of love beyond chains, Or just some traditional trash of glory and gain.”

“I am the wind, I just want to flow amongst the people without any barrier. I have no desire to prove the supremacy of facts where there's no need. Some days you may find me in the church taking part in the choir and singing out loud praising my humanitarian predecessor most enthusiastically. Other days, you may find me talking shop with a bunch of atheist scientists. I am in everybody, everybody is in me.”
