Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Apes cannot cancel the Everest (Sonnet 1550) Unleash yourself as love testament, Be the answer to archaic derangement. Stand undaunted despite cancelment, Apes cannot cancel Mount Everest. Unleash your spine, Unfurl your fervor. Awake to humankind, your eternal harbor. Anchor yourself in rights, Rituals can take a back seat. Rights decreed by jungle rituals, are no parameters of civil spirit. Either you succumb to the world, or expand so vast that the world succumbs to you. Dare past time with your dream defiant, fabric of reality will unfold through you.”

“There is a karbala in each of you, there is a kurukshetra in each of you, there is a jerusalem and chanakkale in each of you. And till you accept defeat out of your own free will, not a force in the world can dampen the daring advances of love and reason.”

“There is no sunrise without sacrifice, There is no unity without inclusion. There is no love without conviction, There is no justice without unsubmission. No sewage is ever sanctified without sewage-workers, No society is ever civilized without reformers. No mutation ever occurs without an anomaly, No world is brought to life without love-laborers.”

“Beyond the Nature of Truth (The Sonnet) Do you realize how serious the situation is, Are you aware of the lives ruined by cruelty? Because if you stay aloof in your cloud castle, All talk of humanity is but a tale of fantasy. Can you tell the real from the unreal, Can you tell facts from fantasy? I am not talkin' in terms of neuroscience, I am askin' you as a human, of human responsibility. We can argue about the nature of truth all we want, But that won't alleviate the suffering of society. So the question is, do you know the worth of life, How far will you go to preserve another's serenity! Does human welfare overpower your insecurity? Or is the self still separate from society?”

“Naskar, The Journey (Sonnet 1540) The journey began with Art of Neuroscience, I was the rookie scholar in the block. Amateurish intellectualism was quite evident, till my voice took charge in the 11th work. Finally yours truly was speaking on his own, without leaning on those who came before. Riding on a whim, along came sonnets, Prose and poetry fused in Naskarean ore. Thus original Naskar started pouring out, as Hurricane Human, Hometown Human 'n more, Martyr Meets World to Mücadele Muhabbet, all as bedrock of assimilation galore. The journey that began with science, soon turned into a humanitarian tsunami. Rooted in love, tempered by reason - I'm the furnace of peace, piety 'n poetry.”

“Army of Lovers (The Sonnet) What's needed is an army of lovers, To set this world on fire, A fire that burns prejudice to ashes, And sparks a humanitarian desire. Lovers devoted to the path of sacrifice, Pure and chaste serving without reward, Pursuing the one impossible dream, The dream of humanizing the entire world. Not a trace of self within, Not a kernel of self-obsession, Uncorrupted and unbending to the bone, Wake up and be the living ascension. Drink from the fountain of service effulgent. Annihilated for others we turn omnipresent.”

“There are too many people working to better the lives of those who already have more than they need, yet those who are in need of real help spend each day with no hope or help to speak of - why my friend - why - they are waiting for you - they are wailing for you - don't you hear them - don't you hear their tears dropping on the lifeless soil beneath their feet! You worry about philosophical questions like, if a tree falls in a forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound - yet you pay no attention to real questions of life and death that actually require your intervention more than any philosophical question in the world! Why - I ask you again - why - why is it that philosophy, technology and argumentation have more grip over your psyche than the actual troubles of the people! Don't answer me - just think - think and when you have thought enough, shred all shallow philosophical pomp and rush right away to the helpless, the forgotten, the destitute as the real, practical answer to their life.”

“I am the essence of determination - I am speculation, aspiration, the spirit of ascension - I am the peace call of evolution - I am togetherness itself sisters and brothers - I am life, I am breath, I am humanite, a human dynamite that destroys every inhumanity that crosses its path.”

“No Throne, No Kingdom (The Sonnet) I need no throne, I need no kingdom, Human hearts are my heavenly abode. I need no badge, I need no scepter, Reason is my partner, warmth my zip code. I need no praise, I need no offering, A life of service is my paradise. I need no reward, I need no award, Nothing can put a price on sacrifice. I know no etiquette, I know no manners, These are all constructs of shallowness. Humanity ought to drive behavior, Humility destroys all narrowness. To forge wholeness and sanity is our mission. Ending all falsity let's be incarnate integration.”

“The Final Solution (A Sonnet) O new people, o new humanizers, The world has been waiting for you long. Waiting for your dawn with deepest zeal, Society is weary yet tries to be strong. Now rise o makers of civilization, Replenish this death valley with your sanctity. Make rigidity and prejudice quiver, Sanitize humanity with rapids of indivisibility. The sun has gone dark, the moon lost its glory, All are waiting for your galvanizing advent. These deserts can no more sustain life, You alone are hope and the last encouragement. Walk boldly as the awakening of revolution. Wake up from indifference and be the final solution.”

“In the beginning I wrote ceaselessly on religion, but as I kept studying the tenets of the society, I came to realize that the barriers amongst people have invaded every aspect of life and society, much beyond the mere traditional bounds of religion - they have invaded the very lifeblood of society and have been tearing the society apart from inside out. I came to realize that the religion of the future is not going to be christianity, islam, judaism or any such traditional system, rather, the religion of the future is going to be social justice. And the best way to shape the future is to envision it early on and start manufacturing it today. Thus, though initially the primary premise of my work was religion, eventually it acquired much wider and diverse societal roots. My purpose remains the same, that is, to unite you all, to unite my seven billion sisters and brothers of earth, but I had to make a few changes to my approach based on the need of the time as I kept evolving with my work. I started off as a scientist, but the needs of the society turned me into a reformer.”

“Let death come in its most vicious form - I as an accountable human accept it with utter grace - we the humans accept it with utter glory - for if we don't die, children cannot play in the park - if we do not die, lovers cannot walk freely hand in hand - if we do not die, the elderly cannot enjoy their favorite tv series over a cup of coffee. But mark you, our first duty is not to die for nothing - but to live for the society - if we live and work for society, justice will live, inclusion will live, acceptance will live, peace will live - if we live and work for society, only then will the society live.”

“What the society needs is an MBA, that is Master of Benevolent Activism - what the society needs is an MD, that is Maverick of Determination - what the society needs is a PHD, that is Doctor of Perspiring Humanism.”

“You know who you are - you are the heroes of Naskar - you are the knights of Naskar - you have no relation with segregation - you have no attachment to bigotry - you have no allegiance to any ideology - the only allegiance that you have is not to me, not to any scripture, not to any school of thought, but to the humankind and humankind alone. You are neither believers, nor nonbelievers, you are neither left, nor right, you are neither intellectual, nor ignorant, you are the whole human beings that the world so desperately needs - you are my order of new humans - humans beyond borders, humans beyond scriptures, humans beyond applause and mockery, beyond wealth and status, beyond anonymity and popularity.”
