Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“In a society of living, breathing and thinking humans, your personal life is not different from your social life - and if it is, then such separation between the personal and the social leads to a fake society, with fake emotions and fake decency - such separation only creates a fake civilization.”

“Himalayan Sonneteer Sonnet 56 Seni seviyorum be insan! It's okay if you don't get a word I say. You won't remember the words anyway, It's the sentiment that makes the way. There is a bridge from my heart to yours, But you won't fathom it with all the words. Oneness is a bridge revealed in silence, Can you hear the pitter-patter of teardrops! If you can't hear the teardrops of a warzone, All your philosophies are basically useless. If we can't light up the forgotten corners, What's the point in discovering photoelectric effect! What's the point of all these fancy words and doohickeys, If human emotion sinks to the bottom of our priorities!”

“I am for I think not (Sonnet 2674) Every country needs just one person to embody the best of humanity - but I couldn't wait to find those people, so I chose to be that person from every culture and every country, that's why I made these languages, these cultures, these soils, my own, no native, no foreign, it's all my own - I let their air fill my lungs, their passions permeate my veins, their tears galvanize my heart, their dreams resurrect my brain - which is why, some ask for water, some ask pani - somewhere I'm scientist, somewhere I'm sufi. I cannot explain this to your puny eurocentric analytical psyche, even to try would be like explaining neuroscience to a neanderthal - all I can say is, I am for I am not - I am for I think not - I don't live, I combust.”

“Worship of Chains (The Sonnet) Enough with the worship of chains! Enough with celebration of selfishness! Time it is to shatter the altars of separation. Time it is to be the ravager of primitiveness. Let us hang all our sectarian gods and idols. Let us start a new worship of love and liberty. Let us be prophets and messengers of harmony. Let us be disintegrated in realization of inclusivity. Let us go insane and kick all prison-gates down. Let us burn locks to ashes with flames of heart. Let us call upon the vigor eternal from within. Let us hunt down the last trace of inhuman dirt. Let us draw a noble anatomy for civilization. Let us lay ourselves as cornerstones of ascension.”

“Visvavictor Sonnet I am not a poet, I am a paradigm. I am no religionist, But the source divine. More than a scientist, I'm a compass to science. I am not a philosopher, But a purposeful alliance. I am not some legal giant, But a valley of lawless order. Transcending Sieg Heil and Star Spangled Banner, I am the Visva (world), I am the Victor.”

“The Nondual Nutcase (Sonnet Beyond Binary) Separatism is the hallmark of eurocentric thought, whether it's separation between the mortal and divine, or the separation between reason and theology, or between science and philosophy, or prose and poetry. Every single aspect of human consciousness touched by eurocentrism ends up divided and desecrated, losing its health-giving wholeness, which is why I never felt at home with euroschools, despite the fact that I too like everyone on the planet grew up in a westwashed education system. However, it took me over a hundred books and 2000 sonnets to wake up to the tangible realization, that the entire eurocentric paradigm is separatist, from its science to philosophy to theology to poetry. In euro schools of thought we say: keep the divine separate from the people, keep science separate from philosophy. In Naskarian we say: integration is divine by reason of poetry.”

“The Religion Engine (Sonnet 2597) Go to any church, any mosque, any temple, and one thing you're sure to find is, not God, but people. And that has always been the real point of religion, people recharging people, people resurrecting people, people consoling people, people sheltering people - because at the center of religion, there is not God, but people. The battery of religion is people, the engine of religion is people, the path of religion is people, the destination of religion is people.”

“Diary of Dervish Advaitam (Naskaristana 2738) The other day I was reminiscing, which was the first inhumanity that lit the fuse of my life, and I think I figured it out - it was probably Islamophobia, which turned my life into a living rebuttal to every form of dehumanization disguised as heritage - perhaps that was when the dervish took root, even though on paper I wasn't a muslim - papers identify monkeys, not the human spirit; a dervish is no longer a muslim, just like an advaitin is not a hindu, and a christly person is not a christian - religion of a dervish is love, religion of an advaitin is oneness, religion of a christ is kindness. Quietly an advaitin became dervish, and emerged Dervish Advaitam, with languages of the world as master power, and sciences of the mind as master plan.”

“It's time we change the very definition of patriotism - it's time we break our primitive loyalty to land and culture and foster a sense of servitude in its place - servitude towards the helpless - servitude towards the oppressed - servitude towards the destitute.”

“No Priest No Prostitute (The Sonnet) In my eyes there is no priest, No prostitute, only people. In my eyes there is no pope, No pedestrian, only people. In my eyes there is no royalty, No subject, only people. In my eyes there is no leader, No follower, only people. There is no intellectual, No layman, only people. In my eyes there is no superior, No inferior, only people. Hierarchy is malarkey maintained by fools. Oneness maketh civilization across silly schools.”

“When a person has reached the highest, when they see neither man nor woman, neither black nor white, neither belief nor disbelief, nor any other sects and differentiation, but looks at a person beyond the brandings, then alone has the person attained universal oneness - and such a person is the true revolution incarnate.”

“Many people have asked me, where was I born. The answer to this question is not as straight-forward as you may assume. My body was born in a little suburban town on the outskirts of Calcutta, India. But the idea which you know as Naskar had its birth in not one but many places, and that too across the dimension of time. The first foundation stone of that idea was born on the eastern bank of the Hooghly River in India - then one part was born in Chicago - one in Yasnaya Polyana, Russia - one in Cappadocia, Turkey - and one in Pernik, Bulgaria – in that precise order.”

“A religious individual may most gloriously carry out his or her own rituals, as a part of his or her cultural identity, but the moment, that person starts to build a wall of separation between the self and the rest of humanity, coaxed by the textual commands of a scripture, the healthy religiousness turns into dangerous fundamentalism, which is a threat to both the self and the society.”

“I am Multiculturalism (The Sonnet) I don't write on multiculturalism, I am multiculturalism. The only nationalism I care about, is tribalism ending multinationalism. I can't do it no more - I can't! One little language is enough no more! I gotta be the Himalayas in every language, I gotta be the Himalayas in every culture. Either you'll know me as a national hero of every nation, or you won't know me at all. So long as a single human calls me foreigner, I'll conclude, I've achieved nothing at all.”

“I don't need to write in all these languages of the world - those who care, will find a way. I write in more than one language because I want to. I want to leave at least something extremely personal for every culture in the world - that is, for as many cultures as I humanly can.”

“The Good Conqueror (Sonnet) Born in the land of multiculturalism, I grew up speaking three languages, mother tongue, national tongue and English. Then in my late teens I acquired my fourth tongue Telugu on a whim, and later along the years, I acquired my fifth, Turkish, which became my dearest, and my sixth, yet to be perfected, Spanish. That's the only conquest I care about, for language is the highway to culture. Not real estate, gadgets or cash, give me languages, give me cultures. English is my work language, Turkish is my love language. Science is my brain language, Integration, my heart language.”

“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.”
