Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Smoking is Good (Sonnet Satire, 1320) Smoking is good for the planet, For it screws with the lungs. Alcohol is good for the planet, For it screws with the brain. Bullets are good for the planet, They riddle the body with holes. Bombs are good for the planet, They blow up all, body and soul. Autocracies are good for the planet, They cause civilizations to fall. Mindless tech is good for the planet, Our biggest wonder will be our downfall. Whatever kills the humans, heals the planet. Forget AI, human greed is the biggest threat.”

“For an earthbound species, I am native of earth - for an interplanetary species, I am native of Milky Way - for an intergalactic species, I am a native of the cosmos - for a lifeform beyond time and space, I am but a speck of carbon-based electrochemical memory.”

“Love alone brings order eternal, Order brought by law is shortlived. Only selfless lovers make good lawmakers, All others are just playing make belief. Let love come as apocalypse and wipe out, All that is rigid, all that is prehistoric. Welcome love into your life as a purifying force, Let it bring you to life anew and terrific. Life is terrific when life has love but, To have love and to have lover ain't the same. Lover isn't one who has someone to love them back, But one who radiates love, despite living in drought without rain. None knows the value of rain, But the land of eternal drought. None knows the value of love, But the heart that loves despite hurt. Only the one who knows pain, Can love another without gain. Only the heart that knows hurt, Can help another without rain.”

“To hear is to be heard, To see is to be seen. To speak for is to be spoken for, Clean mind makes the world clean. Just mind makes the world just, Just heart makes the head just. Just civilians make democracy just, Just household makes the neighborhood just. The world inside is the world outside, When there is love inside there is love outside. The beauty inside is the beauty outside, When there is sense inside there is sense outside. To sense nonsense is the highest sense, To sense love is even higher sense. To put all sense under love is higher still, If there's no love in senses, all sense is nonsense. Love sensible is no love, You can have either sensibility or love. If love doesn't wipe out all our fake order, It ain't love but mere ravings of the daft.”

“Sonnet of Blood and Water Blood may be thicker than water, But water is far greater than blood. Blood may discriminate between people, Water saves all without a single word. Even while helping the wounded, Blood discriminates both in mind and medicine. But to put out the fire of someone's thirst, Water doesn't care about a single thing. Now tell me which one deserves all the glory, Tell me which one is greater, Is it blood that's prejudiced all the time, Or is it the life-giving water? All care for blood and family first, Few can make a family out of the world.”

“Love Alone Triumphs (The Sonnet) Great people have often said, Truth alone triumphs. I am no great but a plain human, So I say, love alone triumphs. Truth may require intellect, Inquiry requires some cynicism. To be loving needs none of that, Love lights up the darkest chasm. Keep your intellect if you desire, Explore further the arc of truth. But all the discovery means nothing, If countless souls go without food. It is far better to be an insane lover, Than to be a heartless discoverer.”

“Lift Others (The Sonnet) If you want to lift your spirit, Lift others. If you want to help yourself, Help others. If you want to find happiness, Forget about happiness. If you want to discover joy, Just give without selfishness. Be crazy, loco and bonkers, For the welfare of others. The only kingdom of heaven, Is in cheering someone who suffers. Better than self-help is unself-help, For the rise of people is rise of the self.”

“Modern society is modern because of its mental cocktail of reasoning and compassion. Turn the compassion network in the brain off, and it will be a society of heartless robots. On the other hand, turn the reasoning network off, and it will be a society of dumb sentimental apes.”
