Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Everybody dies, if not today, tomorrow - if not tomorrow, the day after, but very few can actually make their death worth shedding tears for. When you die, your immediate family will shed tears, and that's very touching, but imagine, what if, even a stranger you've never met in person sheds tears out of bereavement! Now that's the death of a hero. Die a hero my friend.”

“For the first time in human history, let’s rewrite the destiny of humanity with our own active conscience, instead of with loyalty towards a certain pompous ideology – let’s slogan for humanity’s interest, and not the interest of a certain ideology, institution, religion or political party – let’s give ourselves to the tireless service of our kind, trumping all toil, agonies and desperation.”

“Lives to Serve Before I Sleep (The Sonnet) Lives to serve before I sleep, Service is my salvation. Wounds to heal before I sleep, Selfless joy brings illumination. There are times people need help, there are times they need motivation. Keep your mouth absolutely shut, if you cannot make the distinction. Bridges to build before I sleep, Walls are too savage a burden. Tears to wipe before I sleep, In human smile lies human heaven. Chains to hack before I sleep, Chains hack humanity to pieces. Peace to plant before I sleep, Come join me, let's grow a forest!”

“Kral Fakir (Servant King Sonnet) İnsanı seven herkes resul, Yardım eden herkes kraldır. Bencil servet hayvanlara mübarek, İnsan ben, kimliğim kral fakir. Every human who loves a human is apostle, Every human who helps a human is king. Animals may feast on selfish luxury, As for me, I am a servant king. King is the servant, Servant is king. Being is the harvest, Harvest is the being. Life lived for self is goods, Life lived for others is gift. Time spent on self is product, Time spent on others is present. You can spend thousands on the shallow, Still it won't be enough to fill their eyes. Spend a single wise cent on someone in need, It'll fill their heart with new vigor of life.”

“Action Yoga (Sonnet 1030) If you love the idea of yoga, Then be a karma yogi, Without all that nonsense of, “Be kind and you'll be treated kindly”. Silently do your duty as a human being, With zero expectation for praise and reward. Kindness with expectation is kindness ruined, True goodness expects nothing in return. Karma means duty, yoga means union, Lose yourself in goodness, and you'll find unity. In this age of reason only yogi is the one, Who is one with the world in humanitarian duty. Silent kindness is sacred kindness. The ancients called it karma yoga, I call it humanness.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 80 Why do we take breath, Is it to stay alive! Why do we eat bread, Is it to stay alive! Why do we drink water, Is it to stay alive! Why do we take naps, Is it to stay alive! Why do we look to mate, Is it to stay alive! Why do we have me time, Is it to stay alive! These just keep the body alive, nothing else. The mind is alive when it lives beyond the self.”

“Blasphemy (The Sonnet) Insan dertte olduğunda, Ne ben, ne sen - hep aynı. Birbirimize destek olamıyorsa, Ne insan, ne hayvan - hep aynı. İnsan merhameti unuttuğunda, Ne cennet, ne cehennem - hep aynı. İnsan insanın acılarına ilaç olamıyorsa, Ne insan, ne canavar - hep aynı. When another being is in pain, Only blasphemy is indifference. If we can't be cure to each other, It's not life, but derangement. Dünyanın gözyaşlarını silmek için gençliğimi bile feda ettim. Çünkü insanların gülüşünde ben kendimi kaybettim.”

“There is not one, but two society. One is snobbish, narcissistic and judgmental to the bone. Another is too hungry to judge anyone. If we must serve, let us be servant to the society that nobody cares about, and to hell with the society that everybody tries to impress and wants to be a part of.”

“Be a hand - not a christian hand, jewish hand, muslim hand, or atheist hand - just a hand - not a black hand, white hand, brown hand or yellow hand - just a hand - not a straight hand or queer hand - just a hand - a hand that helps and a hand that heals.”

“Sonnet of Charity Charity doesn't end disparity, It only postpones it. Giving doesn't mean only giving, It means lifting the fallen spirit. With one hand help those in need, With another treat their environment. Don't just give money to the destitute, Lift them up so they could help themselves. The greatest charity in the world, Is to help someone become self-reliant, So that they do not need charity, From anyone ever again. Purpose of charity is not to build a world of charity, Purpose of charity is to end the need for charity.”
