Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“From the realization of oneness rises the desire for justice - from the realization of oneness rises the desire for equality - from the realization of oneness rises the desire for unification. And do not confuse the realization of oneness to be a comforting experience, for the moment you become one with the rest of humanity, is the moment the sleeplessness and restlessness begin. Because once your mind is one with humanity it can't rest in peace till it sees the sufferings, disparities and discriminations alleviated. And remember, better sleepless for justice than soulless in indifference - better sleepless for equality than soulless in apathy - better sleepless for harmony than soulless in complacency.”

“Sonnet of Breath The heart holds a breath, A breath that is indivisible. Yet we rarely take it in, For we are raised as vegetable. We are seeking joy here and there, Yet there's an ocean of it within us. It's a joy that comes alive when we care, At the sight of selfishness it disappears. Intimacy breeds stability and serenity, But not the one that thrives on body. Intimacy that's chaste and unifying, Manifests only in innocent amity. Human mind is the source of all ascension. We are the origin of all civilized creation.”

“Moving from childhood to adulthood - that's not growing up. Moving from selfishness to selflessness - that's growing up. Moving from I to We - that's growing up. Moving from my culture, my country, my religion, to our cultures, our countries, our religions - that's growing up.”

“I am here to build an army of self-sacrificing humanitarians across space and time, to march unafraid in the course of equality, inclusion and ascension, fortified with accountability, reason and acceptance. So my question to you is - are you that army? If you are, then chisel this in your brain with the indelible ink of determination - your gospel is goodness, your religion is service, your church is society.”

“This is Not Us (The Sonnet) This is not us, Practicing savages abhorrent. This is not sapiens, Intelligent yet filthy indifferent. Some think we are advanced, But self-absorption is no advancement. Some say we have built a free world, But irresponsible freedom is mere derangement. Fancy clothes and accessories make no human, Nor do those shallow etiquettes. When we have no kindness for others, We are just good-looking cannibals. This cannot be the definition of humanity. Need of the hour is a life of inclusivity.”

“Sonnet of Nation Building Nation means not land, Nation means not border. Nation means sentience and sanity, Nation means willing to treat disorder. Nation means not habit, Nation means not tradition. Nation means reason and acceptance, Nation means conscious amalgamation. Nations means not law, Nations means not policy. Nation means a genuine goodness, Nation means an accountable citizenry. In the name of nation do not act tribal. Nation without narrowness is a land universal.”

“Sonnet of People (The Sonnet) All is well when there's people with us, Without ‘em life is sugarcane without sugar, All is meaningful when there's people with us, Without ‘em life is a painting without color. People are the blood in my veins, I can breathe without oxygen but not people, Thus speaks the being called human, Thus lives the sapiens who's brave and noble. Community means compatriot unity, Unity means undivided amity, Amity means affectionate sanity, Sanity means serene humanity. Now one ponders the meaning of humanity. It means humble and affectionate for eternity.”

“Sonnet of Unity I am vicdan, I am saadet. My life isn't mine, It's your emanet. Soy sanity, Soy humanidad. Life lies in service, Selfishness kills vitalidad. Ich bin inclusion, Ich bin indivisible. Mein kampf is unity, Human and hate are incompatible. Life divided brings degradation. Growth comes through expansion. (vicdan=conscience, saadet=joy, emanet=keepsake, soy=I am, humanidad=humanity, vitalidad=vitality, Ich bin=I am, mein kampf=my struggle)”

“Beyond tongue and tradition, Beyond ignorance and intolerance, Beyond fear and fanaticism, Beyond rigidity and recklessness, Beyond the desert of dead habit, Beyond the logical heartlessness, Beyond the lies of selfish order, Beyond the highs of whims and wishes, There's a valley of love and laughter. Come someday, I shall meet you there.”

“Favoritism is Good (The Sonnet) My favorite language in the world is Turkish, Because its culture electrifies my scars. My favorite language in the East is Telugu, Because its music emboldens my nerves. My favorite language in the West is Spanish, Because it teaches me the worth of freedom. Favorite ancient tongues are Arabic 'n Sanskrit, For one embodies peace, another assimilation. My favorite science of all is electronics, For it empowers my imagination untainted. My favorite philosophy is everyday curiosity, It helps me transcend all sectarian intellect. My favorite religion in the world is service, Because it transforms an animal into human. I don't care what you believe or don't, As long as your behavior speaks compassion. Favoritism is a civilized faculty, when practiced beyond blood and border. Problem is when you see nothing at all, beyond the rim of your family and culture.”

“Sonnet 1142 Naskar the scientist says, Science that lifts no human condition, is not science but superstition. Naskar the monk says, Inclusion is illumination, discrimination is delusion. Naskar the philosopher says, Better lose truth, than lose humanity - Better lose truth, than lose love. Naskar the sufi says, Sense yourself till you sense nothing but love. Naskar the humanist says, I don't care about your belief or disbelief, all I care about is your behavior with others. Naskar the humanitarian says, each human must earn their admission into the human race with humane actions. The spirit of love speaks of love, no matter the faith and field. Hate is but a mark of narrowness - When you expand heart and soul, whole world becomes kin and kith.”
