Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Truth manifests, when you realize within your heart that you are the truth. There is no ultimate objective truth that the humans as a toddling species in the suburbs of one among billions of galaxies, should be concerned of with its ridiculously limited faculties of comprehension. What matters at the present, is the truth that we radiate in our actions both internally and externally.”

“I decide what I am, and I decide the parameters of what I am - for example, I can be a monk and still fall in love, just like, I can be a muslim poet, and still consider the koran to be flawed - I can be a theologian of any faith, and consider all the scriptures to be a mix of good and bad - my mind is the measure, not convention; life is my constitution, not tradition. This is how I created whatever I've created, not in defiance of convention, but indifference - I built my universe, aloof from foolish fractures, to men of ritual it's a terrible sacrilege.”

“Drunken Humanitarian (Sonnet) Go, get drunk, my friend! Get so drunk with a vision unseen, even monsoon begins to cry! Get so drunk with an unbent cause, even bosons bow to thy might! Get so drunk with incorruptibility, you emerge a walking Wardencliffe. Get so drunk with accountability, no Rorschach can analyze your spirit. Get so drunk with uncontaminated justice, every government keeps a file on you! Get so drunk with untainted love, conclaves convene to decipher you! Any ape can find salvation in liquid escape, takes a human to endure through devastation. Any rodent of the gutter can drown in alcohol, it takes a giant to drink the world's poison.”

“Sonnet of Identity Tell me O Mississippi, What is my name? For I lost my sense of self, In line of service without gain. Dear mountains of Blue Ridge, Where did I come from? I fathom not the worldly titles, I deny narrowness as the norm. Character makes the person, Not pedigree and tradition. If I can lift even five lives, That’ll be my highest salvation. So forget that I asked about my identity. Service is my culture and my nationality.”

“Take My Life (The Sonnet) Take my life if you want, But nothing can take my sight away. Take my breath if you want, But nothing can take my might away. Take my feet if you want, But nothing can take my journey away. Take my arms if you want, But nothing can take my touch away. Take my tongue if you want, But nothing can take my voice away. Take my bones if you want, But nothing can take my will away. You can erase me from earth if you so desire, But you can't stop my ideas from spreading like wildfire.”

“Naskaristana 2789 I arrived with a clever brain, walked among clever apes, studied history written by winners, so I could earn some ape respect. Then I got weary of all the hypocrisy, idolizing morons as savior of humanity, mistaking the lens for the landscape, confusing privilege as social sanity - frustrated I plunged into fire, brain, vanity, esteem, the lot, all reputation burnt to ashes, what remain is unflinching humanity.”

“Go Burn My Verses (Sonnet 2636) Burn the verses, I'll write fiction - burn the fiction, I'll write music - burn the music, I'll adopt a new language - burn the language, I'll pick up paintbrush - burn the paintbrush, I'll grab a soldering iron. Take away one medium, I'll adopt a new one, apes don't have the braincells to sabotage my mission. The only unstoppable organism in the universe, is the mind that embraces evolution over limitation. You keep asking, how do I write so immense - I keep asking, where's the off switch for this! Every time I decide to take a breather, ideas start pouring, so I keep typing restless. You're welcome to burn all my verses, still you cannot dampen the spark of oneness. Today I'm Naskar, tomorrow another - truth will find a postman, across time and space.”

“My Cosmic Soldiers (The Sonnet) Bloodline is of no consequence, We gotta pass on galvanizing ideas. I may quite easily die without heir, World is in care of my cosmic soldiers. My life is the best book I've written, Rest are just spoils of my pilgrimage. Embark as explorer transcending words, Service to the world is truest of homage. You may know me from the gifs, You may know me from my sonnets. Mere knowing counts for nothing, Sail the sea forgetting safety nets. My soldiers are my gift to cosmos, archaic narrowness is no match for them. I got martyred in the making of a life, to shine as beacon for generations to come.”

“Names Behind Naskar (Sonnet) The world often wonders about my influences, in doing so it often cooks up fake inspiration. So I write this little sonnet memoir, so you're aware of the crucial names in my ascension. There is no Naskar the neuroscientist, without, firstly Persinger, then Ramachandran; there is no Naskar the poet, without Mevlana. And among all your historic philosophers, only appealed to me Tolstoy and Aquinas. Then there are Ramanujan and Tesla, with whom I've identified deeply. And finally, to speak of my origin, there is no Naskar the mission, without Gadadhar Chatterjee. These are my most cherished beings, names that are never out of my mind. None of them were flawless, none my god, but they live rent free as part of my light.”

“Across the globe I am often referred to as "the Indian neuroscientist" or "the Indian Author", despite the fact that my work is practically nonexistent in India, statistically speaking. Considering that, 90% of my book sales come from US, UK and Canada, the rest 10% from Europe, Mexico, South America and Australia, and zero from India - for transparency and context purposes I'll tell to you one more time - Abhijit Naskar is an Earth Scientist - Abhijit Naskar is an Earth Poet - Abhijit Naskar is an Earth Philosopher. However, it's never about the sales, it's about the love. I only mention the demographics to put things in perspective. For example, there are many countries where people cannot afford to buy my books, since they are expensively exported from US and Europe, and yet, I receive far more love from these countries than the land I was born in. Philippines and Pakistan to name a few. As a matter of fact, hate wise speaking, Philippines is the only country so far, where I have not faced any hate and bigotry - which only goes to prove that, state of a currency does not reflect the broadness of heart. That's why, a substantial portion of my work is available freely on the internet. The point is - I am no more Indian, than I am a Yank or Canadian or Mexican or Turk or Swede or Pinoy or British or Brazilian or Egyptian or Aussie. Passport is just a glorified bus pass - nothing more. So, I repeat - I am an Earth Scientist - remember that. Nationalization of Naskar is desecration of Naskar.”

“None of our ancestors gave us any particular reason to be proud of them. Except for a rare few, they were all morons and they built of a world of moronity. That is more reason for us to be the first civilized ancestors to our descendants who are just born or yet to be born.”
