Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“The term altruism indicates a separation between an observer of altruism and a practitioner of altruism. And so long as there prevails this separation, this duality between the observer and the observed, real action will always remain a theory for the majority of the human population. So, right now, with the plain ordinary awareness of the harms of separation, destroy the duality that prevails within you, which separates your being from real action. And the moment you do so, piety and progress will automatically begin to rush through your veins out into the world, like the water that begins to flow, once you turn the faucet on.”

“Life Beyond Rhyme (The Sonnet) Those who don't do, bark, Those who are humans, do. Those who don't help, howl, Those who are humans, help. Those who don't lift, laugh, Those who are humans, lift. Those who don't encourage, cuss, Those who are humans, encourage. Those who don’t mend, mock, Those who are humans, mend. Those who got no vagina, patronize, Those who are humans, grow vagina. If we can love ourselves despite our flaws, Why can't we be a little kind to others!”

“You are a little chubby - doesn't matter. You are a little skinny - doesn't matter. You don't know any table etiquette - doesn't matter. You prefer jeans over tuxedo - doesn't matter. You have tattoos all over your body - doesn't matter. You don't have a tag hanging from your neck saying religious - doesn't matter. What matters is, how you behave with those whom the society has placed at the bottom of its egotistical, megalomaniacal and barbaric hierarchy of class and pedigree.”

“To Live A Single Day (The Sonnet) To live even for a single day, In the full light of oneness. To walk even for a single day, In the full might of kindness. To talk even for a single day, In the full sight of humility. To breathe even for a single day, In the full height of amity. To smile even for a single day, Without a trace of hidden deceit. To love even for a single day, As an undeterred force of uplift. Isn't that the highest sanity? Isn't that the highest humanity?”

“More than being the spark of reason, Be the reason for someone's spark. Better than bearing the light of faith, Instill faith in someone's light. Intellect don't impress me much, Devoutness of doctrine repulses me. Have you ever made a stranger smile, Ever left your seat to the elderly!”

“Entire world is a church, The innocents are our deities. Helping the helpless is divine service, In their smile unfolds heavenly peace. Above everything kindness is real, Save kindness all is unspiritual. Above all else people are real, There ain't no paradise but people.”

“Love opens the most impossible gates in the world. Feel, therefore, my would-be patriots. Do you feel? Do you feel that millions of your sisters and brothers are starving today and have been in such condition for ages? Do you feel my dear soldiers? Do you feel that the light of truth has become much scarier to the society than the darkness of ignorance? Does this not make you restless? Does this not make you sleepless? Has it not gone into your blood yet, coursing through your veins, becoming resonant with your heart-beat? Are you not yet seized with the one idea of lifting the misery from the society? Have you not been yet immersed in this idea, so much so that, you have forgotten your name, your fame, your property and even your very physical existence as a flesh and blood being? Have you done that yet? That is the very first step of the real education my friend. Your world needs heroes. Be Heroes!”

“Bringing a candle to a neighbor's home who had their power cut off, is far holier than lighting a thousand candles in the church. If you bring electricity to a marginalized community with a simple solar power kit, it's a far greater scientific achievement than the gargantuan glories of the LHC. There is no greater scientific achievement than simple science solving big problems. There is no greater holiness than trading in the bible for a simple act of kindness.”

“Countless lion-hearts have sacrificed their lives to liberate their nation from the oppression of other nations. Now, we stand at yet another crossroads of oppression - it is the oppression of bigotry and discrimination on the human psyche. Time has come my sentient soldier, that the self must fight with all its might to be free from the oppression of discrimination, prejudices and bigotry. And this fight is far too grand to be fought with plain primitive violence and strength of the muscle. It is a battle within the mind which can only be fought and won by the strength and purity of the mind.”
