Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Sonnet of Rulers The only people who'll rule the world, Are the ones who want to rule not a being. The only people to inherit the earth, Are the ones who want to inherit nothing. The only people who win hearts, Are those who give all without question. The only people who become family to all, Are those who walk without assumption. The only people who never die, Are those who happily die for others. The only people who are the happiest, Are those who have no trace of selfish desires. Selfishness is synonym for suffering and misery. Joy is just a byproduct of service to humanity.”

“I Write to Destroy You (The Sonnet) I don’t write to pamper your ego, I don't write to give you comfort. I don't write to teach you self-love, I write to destroy all selfish thought. I don't write to inspire your pride, I don't write to cater to your insecurity. I don't write to entertain shallowness, I only write to abolish self-centricity. I don't write to tickle the instaslaves, I don't write to peddle false perfection. I don't write to lick the privileged boots, I write to make soldiers of self-annihilation. My science and my art were born on the street. That's where I learnt, all suffering is born of greed.”

“New Melody (The Sonnet) What is this new melody, That I hear on my guitar! What is this new tune, That makes squabbles disappear! What is this new serenade, Calling upon a headstrong wind! Whose are the footsteps I hear, With such vigor yet gentle and kind! Amidst the cacophony of cockiness, What is this heartbeat of sacrifice! Amidst the drumbeats of individualism, What is this new desire to universalize! What is this new voice of sanity I hear! It is you and me, the branded blasphemer.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 53 If you call me liberal, You have understood nothing. If you call me conservative, You have understood nothing. If you call me religious, You have understood nothing. If you call me atheist, You have understood nothing. If you call me communist, You have understood nothing. If you call me capitalist, You have understood nothing. You’ll never find me in your fancy ideology, You'll know me by taking pain to wipe another's agony.”

“Heart Humanish (The Sonnet) I am but a simple sufi, What'll I do with applause! If you want to give something, Lend a corner in the heart of yours. I am but a fumbling fakir, What'll I do with all the gold! Only with the touch of a kind heart, We shall bring prosperity in our world. I am but an ignorant dervish, I don't know much ayat and psalm. All I know is, love is the breath of life, Without it, all progress is harm. Rituals and intellect all will perish, What will live on is the heart humanish.”

“Human Helpline (The Sonnet) Neither Christ, nor Krishna, nor Superman, No imagination can rescue humanity. Each of us is the only helpline, Human salvation is human responsibility. Enough with these prayer and rituals, Now awake from the sleep of subjugation. As heroes fraught with reason and conscience, We must rise to break all submission. Progress demands a life of revolution, Self-induced slavery won't do. The more you seek a savior outside, The more you turn into boneless goo. Of all life on earth the human being is peerless. Only those called sapiens roar for the helpless.”

“My Compatriots (The Sonnet) Any compatriot of mine, Better have a grasp of prejudice. Arrogance sickens my soul, My heart revolts at the snobbish. Doubts can be healthy, But only if driven by curiosity. When driven by contempt, They only facilitate animosity. You don't have to agree, With the whole of my notion. But don't turn bitter my friend, For it is a trap of degradation. Logic may fail sometimes as well as sentiments. Never you lose o patriot your indivisible humanness.”

“I wish I could tell you that all the comfort and luxuries in the world are a sign of progress, but they are not - they are a sign of disparities - and these disparities can only go away with our sacrifice - with the sacrifice of the humanitarians - some must give all, all must give some, only then will there be actual civilized, sane, healthy and whole progress - progress that includes all of humanity, not just the privileged few.”

“I have no side - I have no sect - I have no exclusive belief - for I am universal, I am omnipresent, I am omnipotent. Wherever there is a human who works through failures, there lives a Naskar - wherever there is a human who lends a caring hand to those in distress, there lives a Naskar.”

“Not politician - not soldier - not scientist - not philosopher - not a professional of any kind - but a human being - a human being with the fire of accountability - that's what the world is desperately craving for. And that human - that majestic, life-giving, torch-bearing, vigorous human - is not going to fall from the sky - for it is nobody else but you.”

“I hold all of you a traitor till you start doing your part for those in misery. What gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you feel for the humans - what gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you think for the humans - what gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you act for the humans!”
