Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Plight of A Humanitarian (The Sonnet) My dear people of earth, I die everyday so that your children can live. My dear people of earth, You've been selfish for long now it's time to give. My dear people of earth, I struggle everyday with your interest on top. My dear people of earth, Enough of this tribalism now it's time to grow up. My dear people of earth, I'm really tired and weary righting all wrong. My dear people of earth, Join me in making a world where we all belong. I promise I don't want much from you. All I ask is that you bid your sectarianism adieu.”

“The concept of world peace is nothing but a publicity stunt - for there to be real peace we actually have to stop living as tribal savages and start living as universal humans whose family are the humans, whose religion are the humans, whose philosophy are the humans.”

“People often ask me, "you are not a believer in the common sense of the term, then why don't you call yourself an atheist", I tell them, "that's because atheists place all importance on facts, I place all importance on people". As a scientist, I am very much aware of the value of facts, but facts are never more important than the people, in fact, they are only valuable so long as they serve the welfare of people - in circumstances where facts go against the welfare of the people, a civilized human must always choose people over facts.”

“Often pastors as well as my fellow scientists ask me - are you a believer or non-believer - I smile and reply, all I care about is to abolish the barriers that people have raised among themselves. I work to create living Christs in every field of society to take care of every corner of the world.”

“What does the river, the trees, the sun care about the concept of God - their sole purpose is to sustain life on earth - and so is mine. Christ made his sacrifice for his love for society, I have made my sacrifice for my love for society, and I believe strongly more than anything else, that this tradition of sacrifice will continue through many more Christs and Naskars, so long as there is human suffering on earth.”

“Civilization starts with us, so if we want to build a just and humane civilization, we must be just and humane ourselves. Look in the mirror - what do you see - do you see an animal that looks like a human - or do you see something more - look deeply - look beyond the shape and everything external - and you'll witness an entire civilization in the shape of a human.”

“Once upon a time there was a wealthy king. He had a huge garden and he employed two gardeners to take care of it. One of them was absolutely useless - he would lazily spend all his time without doing a single work around the garden, but whenever his master visited, he would simply usher him with praise. The other gardener was a humble fellow and rather a quiet one. He didn't talk much, but he worked the whole day taking care of the garden and grew all sorts of beautiful flowers and fruits. Now who do you think would be most beloved to the king! Many people call this king God, I call it nature. And one who takes care of the children of the king is more beloved to the king than the one who does nothing but talks highly of the king.”

“I am nameless, I am timeless, I am deathless, for I am the indestructible force of humanhood, and one biological vessel isn't enough for the fulfillment of this force, it'll continue to fasten onto every potential vessel through time till all traces of divisiveness and superstition are abolished from the world.”

“No messiah is coming to save us or our world, it is us who have to save ourselves as well as our world. We are our own responsibility - our world is our responsibility - our people are our responsibility. And anybody who takes the responsibility of their society on their shoulder, is a patriot - such a person is the real Christ, real Buddha, real Naskar of their time.”

“When you can't live a day without helping others - when you can't breathe without watching someone smile because of you - when you can't even taste the food until you know that someone is able to put food on the table for their family because of your kindness - that day you'd know what it is to be human.”

“Take a glass of water, now tell me, is it Christian water, or Jewish water, or Islamic water or Atheist water. It's just water. A human ought to be like that water, whose purpose is to quench the thirst of humans, not of any specific religion, culture or gender, but all humans.”

“People keep asking me, how do I frame my work of science and philosophy in such a humane fashion – somehow they believe there’s some sort of method for doing that – and I can’t manage to convey it to them that I know no other way to put it – if you ask a river, how does it flow the way it does, can the river give you a diagram or method, it can’t – the same is with me – I don’t know any other way in which to present my ideas.”
