Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“When I close my eyes, I can see the world of my dream clear as day - a world where there is no man, there is no woman, there is no queer, there is only love - a world where there is no white, there is no color, there is only love - a world where there is no believer, there is no nonbeliever, there is only love - a world where there is no leader, there is no follower, there is only love. This is the civilization that we must build - a civilization that has conquered its animal nature rather being conquered by it - a civilization that is human at heart, human at thought, and human in action.”

“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 problem of systemic racism is much bigger than mere reparations can solve. I am not opposing reparations mark you, but the only thing that can actually make any difference is an everyday, ordinary and yet incorruptible regard for human life in every single person regardless of their color.”

“Humanity is the highest form of love there is, and love needs no lobby, label or ideology, for love itself is everything that is human about us - we are either living in it, enveloped in its wholeness or we are analyzing it with intellect from outside while dying for a taste of it.”

“Child of Earth (The Sonnet) Walk, walk, walk ahead, O brave child of earth. Let no fear shackle your feet, Selflessness paves all path. Meditate on unity, Dedicate to inclusion. Educate your soul, Be free from self-absorption. Forget gender, religion and ideology, Abolish all chains of tribalism. Place people at your heart's altar, One dream, one mission – universalism. Shallow and separated we can stay no more. We must break ourselves to let light outpour.”

“The moment you place your eyes on the ever-radiant glare of humanity in the depth of your heart, all separations would disappear from your field of vision - all barriers would crumble to dust from the fabric of your perception – and what will prevail is a plain, ordinary, sanctifying sense of humanity - only humanity would remain and everything else would turn completely blank - not an object, not a name, not a culture, not a creed, not even a sound - you could see nothing, you could hear nothing, you could feel nothing - all you could comprehend - all you could perceive - all you could realize - is that one fervor - that one fountain of uncorrupted light - your light.”

“The individual must choose in which direction they want to take this world of ours - will they take it down the same rotten path of sectarianism like our ancestors did, or will they build a whole new civilized path - a path that facilitates love, not hate - a path that facilitates discussion, not debate - a path that unites, not divides - in short, a path that is human, not savage!”

“When Love Awakens (The Sonnet) When love awakens so will the world, For love is the seed of civilization. When love awakens the conflicts will end, For love is the gateway to assimilation. When care crosses family suffering will wither, For selfishness is the cause of miseries. When the soul is clear enough to reflect all, All separation will turn into memories. When breath of one becomes the breath of all, All atrocious walls will collapse into dust. When there’s no more ‘my people your people’, Only then we will be human at last. When the fire of love engulfs our whole being, Time will bear witness to humanity's uprising.”

“The only way you can see someone turn water into wine without resorting to trickery is if you are already drunk. That’s not the kind of miracle that the world needs - what the world needs is the miracle of kindness - it needs the miracle of acceptance - it needs the miracle of unity in diversity.”

“Character means everything that is human about you… Character means a sense of community - character means a desire for learning and growth - character means the guts to admit and mend one's own errors and shortcomings - character means the yearning for assimilation.”

“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.”

“One culture was not enough for me, I had to feel all the cultures of the world rushing through my veins filling up every molecule in my body - it was a burning desire - as urgent as the thirst of a person who hasn't had water for months. Hence, I assimilated as many cultures as possible and made them one with my existence.”

“I am a living representation of my species - I am not owned by any one culture, but all cultures live through me - I am not owned by any one belief system, but all belief systems are part of me - I am not owned by any one school of thought, but all schools of thought are born in me. However, at the same time I must admit, I have more ignorance than knowledge - I have had more failures than successes - I have had more impediments than aids - but my sight has always been wider than my abilities permit - and that's the reason why I exist as a beacon of universalism on the face of earth.”
