Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Sapiens (Sonnet 1410) Sapiens is a promise to stand grounded in people, Sapiens is a duty to stand firm on principle. Sapiens is an alarm to wake up from apathy, Sapiens is mindful revolt against inherited atrocity. Sapiens is rightful rebellion against dehumanizing intellect, Sapiens is sentient uproar against puritanism boneheaded. Sapiens is the saintly answer to the clarion call of life, True sapiens is saintly sapiens, all else is desecration of life.”

“The Naskar DSM (NDSM Sonnet 2596) If your history book, pol-sci book, criminology book, doesn't register the US government as the planet's number one terrorist organization, followed by the british empire, you are studying fake history, fake sociology, fake criminology. If your psychology book doesn't declare upfront, that ultraindividualism is a sickness, you are studying fancy make believe; if your DSM doesn't mention that, fundamentalism and nationalism are the vilest plague of the mind, it's the DSM of a lesser species. Yet you know what the irony is - egotism, dollarism, fascism, fanaticism, fundamentalism, these are all normal, all natural, but they are normal in the jungle. The question is not, is it natural! The question is, should it be human nature!”

“The Accidental American (Naskaristana 2753) Five whole years I went from door to door, looking for support, I wanted to build my own tech startup, but all I received was ridicule and advise - finally I withdrew myself from the nation I was born in, and placed all my attention on America - I had zero money, my only assets were my heart and brain, which was all I needed to reshape America, then the whole world. The Naskar you know is a direct outcome of the entrepreneur that never came to life - naskar the youngster failed in his innovation dreams, so Naskar the Civilization emerged as the earth way of life.”

“Sonnet 2000 (My Real Legacy) My real legacy is not the books or the sonnets, but the unbending humanitarians I've set on fire. The literature is just a vessel for the spirit, spirit of a world united, in reason and in care. Ceaseless slurs are daily occurrence, Mindless hate indeed plenty I face. Yet I've kept all vengeance in check, Never have I ever been lost in bitterness. I am the line that I've drawn for myself, Can't tell you how to behave, how not. I stand steady as the human impossible, Rest is up to you, what to take, what not. I don't come from wealth, nor could I amass any, I set out with zero dollars, and no publicity. World integration is my life's first madness - this madness I leave for you, now it's your duty.”

“Sonnets to Write Before I Sleep (The Sonnet) When I finished my first 1000 sonnets, I felt, now I shall take it slow. But now at the finishing of second 1000, I feel, I gotta write thousands more! The first thousand took me four years, the second thousand took me two years, all without an ounce of industry support, I am the sole maker of my literary empire. Sonnets are my vessel of reason, Sonnets are my bearer of justice. Sonnets are my medium of divinity, I'm my sonnets - antidote to malice. Proof of poetry is in the spirit, Proof of justice is among the just. Worlds to unite before I sleep, Proof of life is in standing guard.”

“Where God Retreats (The Sonnet) Where God retreats, Human must step in. Where myths fall short, Mind must intervene. Where doctrines dwindle, Conscience must march uncorrupt. Where scriptures fall cripple, Character must stand on guard. Where logic dreads to tread, Love must rush to rescue life. Where governments legalize fear, Citizens must be bearer of light. Advance of Human is advance of God. Wishful indolence is religion of the cod.”

“Humanitarian Behaviorism (The Sonnet) Give me a drop of love, I'll shower you with monsoon. Hit me with loads of hate, I'll silently disappear soon. I don't approve of hate in return, I just walk away from wrong done to me. Wrong done to another is another matter, I am the bulldozer, if you are the bully. I am a biologist and behaviorist after all, I don't need to do harm to restrain harm. Weaknesses of the apes are my common knowledge, Where there is brain, there's no need for brawn. Brain used to lift the world, is the only human brain. All else is mindless protoplasm, ever-consumed with greed and gain.”

“Citizenry is the problem, Citizenry is the answer. When citizenry decides on peace, Albeit reluctant, world leaders wither. I know no constitution but conscience, I know no tradition but compassion. Belonging is my Bible, kindness is my Quran - The living need no handbook to right and wrong. Recognition or no recognition, Human never forgets to be human. The entire Abhijit Naskar legacy was created without any recognition. Then why did I continue you ask, Because I never wrote for admiration. I write to provide shelter to all, And electrify their veins into action. Whining might suit the spineless, Bravehearts are ever vigilant in duty. Once you make people your life's cause, Nothing can diminish your tenacity.”

“Narcissism has a time and place, cold detachment has a time and place. Problem is, we've made a world out of narcissism and detachment, while hypocritically diagnosing them as clinical on one hand, and sugarcoating them as self-care or stoicism on the other. In reality, it's all nonsense. When people are upset at you, with no fault of your own, or when they come to take away your dream, that's when you gotta let detachment kick on. Likewise, when shallow nitwits commit harm in front of your eyes, that's when you gotta exercise your narcissism, and treat them like a parent would treat their child when they've done something wrong. Even the ugliest of animal faculty can be used for good, when wielded with conscience. It's about using the whole of your mind, rather than giving in to all the prehistoric intellectual dualities of narcissism and altruism, or attachment and detachment. When people are helpless, to them be a christ - but when they behave heartless instead, be the light to their lies.”

“Himalayan Sonneteer Sonnet 2 Just like every family needs a pillar, Every generation needs a rock. All may sprinkle salt on each other's wounds, You for one, be the ointment to the epoch. Be the foundation stone to civilization, Be the walking measure of human character. You are the definition of sapience, You are the very definer. Let no law define your duty, Let no scripture determine goodness. Let no ancestor imprison your identity, Expand, explore and usher into sentience. You are the illusion, you are the truth. When evil hangs heavy, you gotta blow your fuse.”

“Jai Ho (Sonnet 1165) Jai Ho to all the beings, Who ain't hypnotized with hate! Jai Ho to all the beings, Who ain't living in cavemen days! Jai Ho to the luchadors, Who struggle por la igualdad! Jai Ho to the reformers, Who value rights over ritual! Space may be the final frontier, But heart is the first frontier. Unless we first conquer the heart, We'll turn the cosmos into dumpyard. So I salute, to all explorers of heart! Jai Ho to the janitors of our cosmic courtyard!”
