Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“If you believe, God is the supreme creator of everything, then God is also the one who gave you a brain. Use it. Likewise, if you know that we have evolved from the apes through natural selection, then you should also know about the fascinating mental faculty we developed alongside reason, called empathy. Use it. Some might say, it is cowardly of me to not pick any side with confidence. Well, I am a behaviorist after all. You don't expect me to peddle the same old dualistic ideologies that philosophers and theologians have been peddling for centuries, do you - that too with a complete disregard for the necessities of the everyday mind! I want to induce integration in the world, not conversion. So I say, if you believe in God, make it a reason for assimilation, not segregation. If you prefer reason, use it for warm ascension, not cold and fancy descension.”

Nobody can walk on water, it is just fairytale. Be human across fairytale 'n lo, you're walking miracle.”

“Unless you know how to use facts like a decent human being, you are better off without facts - just like, unless you know how to interpret the scripture like a decent human being, you are better off without a scripture.”

“Anybody can live in flesh and blood, but to live on long after the flesh has dissipated into nature – that’s the life I always wanted. Afterlife is about living in people's heart, not in some fictitious paradise. Do something so impossibly human that the humans aren't able to forget you ever.”

“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.”
