“Citizenry is the problem,
Citizenry is the answer.
When citizenry decides on peace,
Albeit reluctant, world leaders wither.
I know no constitution but conscience,
I know no tradition but compassion.
Belonging is my Bible, kindness is my Quran -
The living need no handbook to right and wrong.
Recognition or no recognition,
Human never forgets to be human.
The entire Abhijit Naskar legacy
was created without any recognition.
Then why did I continue you ask,
Because I never wrote for admiration.
I write to provide shelter to all,
And electrify their veins into action.
Whining might suit the spineless,
Bravehearts are ever vigilant in duty.
Once you make people your life's cause,
Nothing can diminish your tenacity.”

“It's not enough to outgrow the divisions in culture, we must also outgrow the divisions in intellect. For example, if you think theology is all about the supernatural, it doesn't mean the entire field of theology is nonsense, it just means, you are studying the wrong kind of theology – you are stuck with an archaic notion of theology. Likewise, if you think science is all about cold facts and figures, then you are studying the wrong kind of science – you are stuck with an archaic notion of science.
Till you develop a common humane ground underneath your feet, all the facts and all the faith won't do you any good.”

“During the first year I tried to write like an intellectual, until I realized, that's not me. So I abandoned the intellectual facade, and became unapologetically human in my writing, and I haven't looked back since.
The tone of 'In Search of Divinity' was so different that I even thought of publishing by a pseudonym. Today I am glad that I did not change my name, for the different new tone was the true voice of mine.

“Letter to My Soldiers
I am only the beginning - the beginning of a new kind of humans - humans who belong to not one culture, but many cultures - humans who speak not one language, but many languages - humans who study scriptures and science with equal enthusiasm, yet pledge allegiance to neither, and know how to use both in the benefit of humanity - humans who aim for neither belief nor disbelief, but warmth and understanding - humans who are more concerned with the real hard problem of inhumanity, than the outdated hard problem of consciousness - humans who sacrifice their life treating the real hard question of hate, rather than the mythical hard question of god. I am only the beginning - the first spark, if you may - the best are yet to come.”
