Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Ben seni rahat etmeye gelmedim, Ben seni berbat etmeye geldim. I have come to destroy every last trace of the prehistoric you, so that a new human can usher into a new world - a kind world, a curious world, a human world.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 15 I am the craftsman, I am the craft. I am the artist, I am the art. I am the infinity, I am absolution. I am impossibility, I am the solution. I am the just, As well as justice. I am equality, As well as its means. There's always a way, so long as I exist, And I exist wherever there's a Universalist.”

“I am not here to garner popularity for myself. I am the Himalayas, and I am here to leave behind an insurmountable legacy of humanitarian material that floods the world with Everests by the hundreds.”

“Heaven’s Janitor (Sonnet 1024) Pick up a broom, not bombs, Wield a mop, not weapons of mass destruction. Sacred minds make sacred society, Peace comes when the very thought of arms causes repulsion. Heart is heaven, Heart holds the Qi. No magic, no myth, nothing supernatural, just a whole lot of humanity. Qi, Atman, Sentience, Corazon, All are but varied names of humanity. Put superstitions aside and you'll find, Just plain goodness is the supreme epitome. Mop all menacing inhumanity out of your heart. And society will be cleansed of all primeval dirt.”

“Mis palabras son tus palabras. My words are your words. My ideas are your ideas. Do with them as you see fit for your time and age. I leave them in your caring, courageous and conscientious hands, with the hope that, you shall use them as tools to lift the world, and not abuse them as weapons to oppress the people or divide the people.”

“Be The Love Commandment (A Sonnet) Instead of worrying about a fictitious judgment day, Make your actual today a real nonjudgment day. Instead of hoping for a fictitious heaven after death, Make this world that you have an abode without hate. Plenty of heart force we have wasted on fiction, Plenty of attention we have placed on insecurity. Now it's time to redirect our time and priorities, It is time to be the valiant vanguards of reality. I ain’t talkin’ about being chained to the reality, Nor about keeping things the way they are for so long. All I'm asking is, we pay attention to the now and here, Instead of obsessing over tales from days long gone. So, stand up to the tyrants as apocalypse incarnate. Reach out to the needy as a living love commandment.”

“Lovenut Sonnet When I was a teenager, There was a sticker on my desk. My father had stuck it there, Saying, till you reach your goal, don't rest. Since that day I haven't stopped, For I haven't reached my goal. You may ask what the goal may be, It is to die a lovenut lifting all. Lovenut is one who is nuts, Total bonkers for the benefit of society, One whose lifeblood is sacrifice, A revolutionary who is above all security. I give a call to all the lovenuts of society. Stop not till you remind all their humanity.”

“Soon my body will perish but my work will continue to create doctors with character and accountability - teachers with character and accountability - politicians with character and accountability - civil servants with character and accountability - scientists with character and accountability - preachers with character and accountability - janitors, bus conductors, waitresses and construction workers with character and accountability - in short, my body will perish but my work will continue to create human beings of character and accountability.”

“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!”

“The Loco Sonnet Better to be loco for something, Than to be sane for nothing. Better to fight and die for a purpose, Than to sit around and do chanting. Better to love and be exploited, Than to be self-obsessed and crooked. Better to disagree and annoy each other, Than to hide the differences fostering hatred. Better to be a know-nothing idiot, Than to be a know-it-all loudspeaker. Better a character without fancy clothes, Than fancy clothes without character. There’s no future without a united humanity. The whole world is a reflection of me.”

“What does the river, the trees, the sun care about the concept of God - their sole purpose is to sustain life on earth - and so is mine. Christ made his sacrifice for his love for society, I have made my sacrifice for my love for society, and I believe strongly more than anything else, that this tradition of sacrifice will continue through many more Christs and Naskars, so long as there is human suffering on earth.”

“Civilization starts with us, so if we want to build a just and humane civilization, we must be just and humane ourselves. Look in the mirror - what do you see - do you see an animal that looks like a human - or do you see something more - look deeply - look beyond the shape and everything external - and you'll witness an entire civilization in the shape of a human.”

“No messiah is coming to save us or our world, it is us who have to save ourselves as well as our world. We are our own responsibility - our world is our responsibility - our people are our responsibility. And anybody who takes the responsibility of their society on their shoulder, is a patriot - such a person is the real Christ, real Buddha, real Naskar of their time.”

“People keep asking me, how do I frame my work of science and philosophy in such a humane fashion – somehow they believe there’s some sort of method for doing that – and I can’t manage to convey it to them that I know no other way to put it – if you ask a river, how does it flow the way it does, can the river give you a diagram or method, it can’t – the same is with me – I don’t know any other way in which to present my ideas.”

“Stop kneeling before lifeless images for there to be sanity and serenity - the world is not a tiny place that can be helped by some imaginary gods and goddesses - it needs living gods and goddesses - it needs you - it needs your tangible involvement in the welfare of the people, not mere amens and aums.”

“Civilization is built by heroes, who trample all fears under their feet and speak out to the world - I am free, I am immortal, I am indestructible - come all ye who have no home, I'll be your home - come all ye who cannot speak, I'll be your voice - come all ye who cannot stand, I'll be your legs - come all ye oppressed, tormented and discriminated - hold my hand and together we'll build the world, the humane way this time.”

“Racism is no longer tolerated as normal, Islamophobia is no longer tolerated as normal, Homophobia is no longer tolerated as normal, Chauvinism is no longer tolerated as normal, Colonialism is no longer tolerated as normal - believe you me, this is the most human humanity have ever been in our 200,000 years long history.”

“Sonnet 1284 Human chest contains miracles of the cosmos, Animal chest contains but the brutal jungle. Choice is yours, what shall you facilitate - a world of brutality or a world of miracle! Be a miracle or be an animal, choice is yours; In your veins brews the dream of civilization. The world is in dire need of miracle humans, There is no such thing as miracle animal. This ribcage ends up a prison most times, But it can also be a sanctuary - a paradise. Entertain hate, and you are a prisoner; Give in to love, lo you usher into light! Abandon divide, adopt but life. Contain the world in your chest of light.”
