Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“What did we really achieve by replacing the orange-haired orangutan with a better alternative, if that better alternative ultimately fails as horribly as his predecessor, when things get really desperate. I may not be a US citizen, but I am a US taxpayer, and when tax dollars from my books on peace and justice are used to aid and fund genocide and war, I find it difficult to maintain respect for such new administration. Citizens of earth could end all wars in a year - boycott all tax-filing unless your governments cease all defense activities for good.”

“My dear brave sibling from Mother America, pierce through the veil of stereotypes and rise - rise my friend, rise as a human being, with nothing but pure, radiant and ever-glorious humanity running through your veins and the world shall once again begin to bow before our sweet land of liberty, not out of fear, but out of genuine, non-conflicting and humane respect.”

“Shake The World Savaşçı (The Sonnet) Shake the world savaşçı, The world is only a reflection of you. Break the mold o kahraman, In a civilized time these molds won't do. Your story is the one of a warrior, Not the one fighting with weapon. You are the hero without arms, Your power is your determination. One person can end a war, If they give all to the making of peace. You are the answer to the world's prayers, But you must keep your prejudice on leash. Go sleepless, starving and unappraised if needed. Be the guerra of inclusion and unite the divided.”

“Everybody is a terrorist, till you see the reformist (The Sonnet) Everybody is a president, till you see the first servant. Everybody is king kong, till emerges the first sapiens. Everybody is marconi, till you meet the Nikola. Everybody is prime minister, till you see the transformer. Everybody is mercenary, till you see the tsunami. Everybody is a godman, till awakens commoner godly. Everybody is police, till comes the vessel of peace. Everybody is a terrorist, till you see the reformist.”

“Naskar not Nascar (The Sonnet) Naskar is an alter ego, Naskar is a calling, a madness bigger than sanity, not chained to one being. Even Abi is no match for Naskar, Abi will perish, not Naskar. Naskar is a chemical catastrophe, priming humans as kind thunder. Naskar is factory of humanitarians, imbued with wonders against malice. Muscle up your heart, heart up your brain, uncontaminated by leanings of prejudice. Nascar is a race, Naskar is a journey, voyage of sapiens ushering in humanity. Surpassing constraints of archaic bigotry, Naskar is Manifest Humanity.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Himalayan Sonneteer Sonnet 1 My science is you, my art is you, La mañana de mi mente eres tú. Mi casa tú, mi cielo tú, La verdad de mi vida eres tú. People are the truth of life, Not some beliefs and biases. People are the magic of my words, People are the center of my poetries. People are the beginning, People are the end. People are the meaning, People are the mend. We lift ourselves when we lift up the people. When we're each other's rock, we are unstoppable.”

“Milkyway Messiah (The Sonnet) Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharata, Cada vez que los oprimidos claman esperanza, Siyasi hayvanlar ne zaman gelip nefret satarsa, Whenever morons 'n their yes men ruin armonia, Jab jab some jhandus rashtrabadka jhanda lehraye, När kärleken till lyx väger tyngre än socialt ansvar, Immer wenn das herz von gier überwältigt wird, When humility is trampled by megalomaniacal desire, Sempre que a bondade é dominada pelo intelecto, Quando la compassione è sopraffatta dall'indifferenza, Kapag tinanggap ang pagiging makasarili bilang batas, Whenever accountability is deemed as misdemeanor, Embracing affliction, from the dust 'n dirt of soil 'n street, You the Milkyway Messiah is to rise as the sentient shield.”

“It pains me to say this, today's humans only look human, but act like animals. They judge before they understand - they conclude before they realize - they proclaim before they recognize. They talk about harmony yet in their psyche they are more broken and conflicted than a broken glass. As a result, harmony has become yet another pompous ideology for them to take pride in, without sacrificing anything on their part - they simply talk about harmony while desperately clinging to their own beloved tribal labels and expect peace to manifest magically out of thin air. That's not how harmony works my friend.”

“A civilized society should mean non-judgmental communication - it should mean warm interconnection - it should mean shared psychology - it should mean a true psychological singularity. The world needs psychological singularity, that is oneness among humans, not some pompous biotechnological singularity.”

“I have no grudge against the lifeless corpses, but it's from the alive humans that my soldiers will come - soldiers capable of moving mountains - soldiers capable of breathing life into the barren desert - these unbending, unafraid, uncorrupted soldiers, bearing unbearable pain, will lift the world from the ashes of darkness up into the civilized dawn.”

“You cannot simply waste money on the newest model of the iPhone, when countless homes across the world can't even afford electricity. You cannot simply have food fights in the name of fun, when countless people across the world don't even have two wholesome meals in a day. You cannot simply waste a ridiculous amount of money on fancy suits, dresses, wines, cars and mansions when our very own kind is suffering on a daily basis round the clock.”

“Only Bow to Love (Sonnet 1360) I don't bow to truth, Truth is my toy. I don't bow to science, Science is my toy. I don't bow to law, Law is my slave. I don't bow to wealth, All wealth end in ashes. I don't bow to no constitution, I pen constitutions in my sleep. No holy writ is my authority, I pour out holiness on a daily basis. I am love, I only bow to love. Till I sleep, everyday I fall anew. Facts, faith, law, go get in line. When I see fit, I'll call you.”

“Hero Worship (The Sonnet) We used to worship the sun and the moon, We used to worship stones and trees. Then reason grew stronger along with imagination, So our worship shifted from elements to entities. Some of them were real and some fully fictitious, We just needed an excuse to externalize our divinity. Even today we keep inventing fictitious characters, Despite knowing they are fiction we pledge our loyalty. It seems like we are always holding out for a hero, Outside our very own everyday, ordinary psyche. Fiction is healthy so long as we grow no dependency, Real heroes are just humans standing unbent on duty. Enough with worship of fiction from comics and scriptures! It's time to be the hero and take the world on our shoulders.”

“Sacred Feminines and Holy Fathers (The Sonnet) Listen you all discrimination-vaalo, No matter how much you whine and wallow, To obliterate all hateful bone and marrow, Lo comes a generation of caballera, caballero! Not a trace of dominant fear and anxiety, Not a particle of self-centric practicality, Lo come the bravehearts made of thunder, Lo come the true preservers of humanity! Breaking free from all that is old and rotten, Overcoming all drives of untamed tribalism, Lo come the sacred feminines of creation, Lo come the holy fathers of nondivisionism! Though divided by thought, still united by heart, Grab these new nerves, give yourselves a jumpstart.”

“The Price I Pay (The Sonnet) I spent my life in the depth of heart, So my social skills are a little lacking. Either they want me to be deep always, Or they simply call me rather cheesy. Whenever I try small talking as human, I fail and fail again most spectacularly. That's the price I pay for being your rock, A timeless pillar unfit for warmth and amity. Mine is not to ask why, mine is to do or die, A path in which I turned my life into an idea. Still it'd be nice to be treated as a human, It'd be nice to feel the gentleness of another. There is no greatness without weakness. Greats must persevere no matter the coldness.”
