Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“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.”

“I have placed myself at your feet O Humanity, do what you may with me - love me if you want, kill me if you want, I won't resist, for my life is your keepsake - I live for you and I'll die for you, and when I am gone, your memories of me will give birth to me again and again, till every trace of separation is gone from the world.”

“Who’s The Best (The Sonnet) Of all nations on earth, No nation is the best. Of all religions on earth, No religion is the best. Of all cultures on earth, No culture is the best, Of all colors on earth, No color is the best. Of all genders on earth, No gender is the best, Of all philosophies on earth, No philosophy is the best. The world is diverse for us to be strong, By walking together we'll fly high and long.”

“Life in A Poem One two three, Reason will make you free. Four five six, Prejudices must be fixed. Seven eight nine, Shout aloud, the world is mine. Ten eleven twelve, In love humans ought to delve. Thirteen fourteen fifteen, To assimilate you must be keen. Sixteen seventeen eighteen, With kindness you must lean. Nineteen twenty twenty-one, It’s you that peace depends upon. Twenty-two twenty-three twenty-four, Give to the society more and more. Twenty-five twenty-six twenty-seven, Only actions can build an actual heaven. Twenty-eight twenty-nine thirty, Life is to lift the world, not party.”

“O My Dear Earthling (A Sonnet) O My Dear Earthling open your doors, For the supreme festival has arrived. The whole wide nature is rejoicing in love, Step outside cultures and celebrate life. The sky is engulfed with billions of smiles, Smiles that know not pettiness of society. Open your soul O Mighty Earthling, The wind of amity is here bearing unity. No more bounds on love, race and religion, Prejudice suits not a species of sapiens. Value we must character over conformity, It’s time we throw away all our allegiance. On guard we stand against differentiation, Hear all peddlers of hate – we are all one.”

“Life Lived for Others (A Sonnet) Torrents of joy have brought me salvation, Bearing jewels of inclusion and unification. My mind and my whole being have gone lost, Into the rising tides of humanizing assimilation. Finally serenity has arrived at my doorstep, When I opened I found the bridge to others. Defying all agony and selfish insecurities, I discovered the supreme sentience in their cheer. Their joy is my joy and their worry is my worry, It is my vow upon the sacred pyre of conscience. I stand ready to become dust if it is needed, I am my gift to them, their smiles my recompense. There is no point in living for the shallow desires, Cause life is not lived till it's lived for others.”

“To unite this whole world with the thread of acceptance and harmony, may sound like a titanic task, but all it takes is one generation of conscientious and responsible citizens in each nation - if only these handful of young members of the society around the world take up the responsibility to raise, not citizens of a nation, but citizens of a planet, then no force in the world can keep the process of unification of humans manifesting in front of our eyes.”

“I am no thinker - what I really am is, a brother to every girl and boy, a son to every woman and man, a grandson to every elderly person - I belong to every single person on earth, for you all are my own family - your tradition is my tradition, your culture is my culture, your religion is my religion, your language is my language - science means nothing to me, scriptures mean nothing to me, God means nothing to me, for I see my God in you - you are my home, you are my temple, you are my God, you are my gospel - and nothing gives me greater bliss than being annihilated in your service.”

“We need patriotism, yes we do, but not the one practiced by our ancestors. We need a civilized patriotism, one that is devoid of all sectarianism and cultural supremacy. We gotta be patriotic towards humanity, not nationality - we gotta be patriotic for justice and equality, not supremacy - we gotta be patriotic for inclusion, not the exclusive sustenance of our own dignity at the expense of the dignity of others. We need a patriotism where there is no us and them - we need a patriotism where there is no lord and laymen - we need a patriotism where there is no savior and subject - we need a patriotism where our savior is our sense of virtue - we need a patriotism where our queen is our accountability - we need a patriotism where our constitution and gospel are our own conscience.”

“Sonnet 1284 Human chest contains miracles of the cosmos, Animal chest contains but the brutal jungle. Choice is yours, what shall you facilitate - a world of brutality or a world of miracle! Be a miracle or be an animal, choice is yours; In your veins brews the dream of civilization. The world is in dire need of miracle humans, There is no such thing as miracle animal. This ribcage ends up a prison most times, But it can also be a sanctuary - a paradise. Entertain hate, and you are a prisoner; Give in to love, lo you usher into light! Abandon divide, adopt but life. Contain the world in your chest of light.”

“On earth we are immigrants from Africa - out in space we'd be immigrants from Earth - in a different galaxy, we'd be immigrants from Milkyway. To put simply, in exploration of space, both external and internal, terms like immigrant and indigenous are meaningless. It's the heart that makes us indigenous or immigrant, not blood.”

“Live your life as such a journey that it becomes a journey of an entire new way of life - a life civilized, a life humane, a life truly alive, not just biologically, but psychologically - alive in kindness, alive in love, alive in inclusion, harmony and assimilation – or simply, alive in and as oneness.”
