Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Godless Struggle (The Sonnet) I don't believe in a God, That doesn't help the helpless. Through the history of humankind, Only humans have served the distressed. My struggle is to end all struggles, Says the being of character and conscience. When you stretch out your hand in love, That's when civilization manifests. No help is insignificant, No kindness is too puny. With tiny steps we'll humanize the world, When we see every human as family. No prayer can heal the troubles of society. Only cure for degradation is united humanity.”

“The Social Welfare Sonnet I have no problem with capitalism, I have problem when it's devoid of society. I have no problem with innovation, I have problem when it lacks accountability. I have no problem with religion, I have problem when it's run by bigotry. I have no problem with intellect, I have problem when it lacks decency. I have no problem with advancement, I have problem when it facilitates disparity. I have no problem with politics, I have problem when it loses all sanity. No field is evil entire of its own. Evil festers when we forget we can’t progress alone.”

“Human Helpline (The Sonnet) Neither Christ, nor Krishna, nor Superman, No imagination can rescue humanity. Each of us is the only helpline, Human salvation is human responsibility. Enough with these prayer and rituals, Now awake from the sleep of subjugation. As heroes fraught with reason and conscience, We must rise to break all submission. Progress demands a life of revolution, Self-induced slavery won't do. The more you seek a savior outside, The more you turn into boneless goo. Of all life on earth the human being is peerless. Only those called sapiens roar for the helpless.”

“Humans awake with humanity need no bible, quran or gita to tell right from wrong - they don't need humanitarian institutions to tackle crisis of human rights. They just stand up and act as human, and the whole planet is revolutionized.”

“My Compatriots (The Sonnet) Any compatriot of mine, Better have a grasp of prejudice. Arrogance sickens my soul, My heart revolts at the snobbish. Doubts can be healthy, But only if driven by curiosity. When driven by contempt, They only facilitate animosity. You don't have to agree, With the whole of my notion. But don't turn bitter my friend, For it is a trap of degradation. Logic may fail sometimes as well as sentiments. Never you lose o patriot your indivisible humanness.”

“Soon my body will perish but my work will continue to create doctors with character and accountability - teachers with character and accountability - politicians with character and accountability - civil servants with character and accountability - scientists with character and accountability - preachers with character and accountability - janitors, bus conductors, waitresses and construction workers with character and accountability - in short, my body will perish but my work will continue to create human beings of character and accountability.”

“Sonnet of Paths Science means nothing, Unless we use it to lift the society. Philosophy means nothing, Unless it empowers humanity. Religion means nothing, Unless it advocates for inclusion. Technology means nothing, Unless it aids in collective ascension. Tastes are plenty in our world, So are the paths that humans take. But if those paths hold no humanity, Fabric of civilization will soon break. Placing on humanity our prime attention, Together we’ll attain true emancipation.”

“I wish I could tell you that all the comfort and luxuries in the world are a sign of progress, but they are not - they are a sign of disparities - and these disparities can only go away with our sacrifice - with the sacrifice of the humanitarians - some must give all, all must give some, only then will there be actual civilized, sane, healthy and whole progress - progress that includes all of humanity, not just the privileged few.”

“I have no side - I have no sect - I have no exclusive belief - for I am universal, I am omnipresent, I am omnipotent. Wherever there is a human who works through failures, there lives a Naskar - wherever there is a human who lends a caring hand to those in distress, there lives a Naskar.”

“Not politician - not soldier - not scientist - not philosopher - not a professional of any kind - but a human being - a human being with the fire of accountability - that's what the world is desperately craving for. And that human - that majestic, life-giving, torch-bearing, vigorous human - is not going to fall from the sky - for it is nobody else but you.”

“I hold all of you a traitor till you start doing your part for those in misery. What gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you feel for the humans - what gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you think for the humans - what gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you act for the humans!”
