Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 81 If a tradition endorses hate and mistrust, It’s the tradition that we must reject not people. If a heritage endorses division and discrimination, It's the heritage that we must reject not people. If an ancestor passes on bigotry and barbarism, It’s the ancestor that we must reject not people. If a bible teaches phobia and separatism, It’s the bible that we must reject not people. If a messiah preaches blindness and conspiracy, It's the messiah that we must reject not people. If God commands oppression and occupation, It’s the God that we must reject not people. Above all commandment, love is the highest truth. Anything that divides love is a stoneage residue.”

“Sonnet of Holy Water A new day starts with a new you, And I ain't talkin' about born again nonsense. A bigot baptized a thousand times is still a bigot, A human helping another is Christ himself. There is no second coming, there’s no reincarnation, Except when we go from selfishness to kindness. We are the messiahs and saviors of our people, Nobody's gonna fall from the sky to lift the helpless. The liquor store sells you the same divinity, That the holy store sells you for even higher price. We'll be born again when we abolish such divinity, By baptizing the soil of society with our sacrifice. The tears of joy someone sheds because of you, Are the only holy water to build the world anew.”

“Beyond Inclusion (The Sonnet) It is not really inclusion that we must aim for, Rather we must work to outgrow the need for inclusion. It is not really global harmony that we must aim for, We must outgrow the very term international relations. It is not really a reform in policy that we must aim for, Rather we must aim to outgrow the need for policy aids. It is not really social awareness we must aim to advocate, Rather we must be the living epitome of social oneness. It is not a flea market of parties that we must aim to build, Rather we must turn the very term partisanism obsolete. It is not a junkyard of ideologies that we must aim to raise, Absorbing good from all, let us stop being ideological elites. Plenty of time we have wasted on arguments of philosophy. Now let's go out on the streets and soil to get our hands dirty.”

“Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 58 Faith is no declaration of character, It is just a matter of mental necessity. It has nothing to do with truth and holiness, In many cases, it makes a person quite unholy. I often find myself speaking to my dead teacher, It gives me strength and helps me take the leap. The scientist in me knows it's all in my head, But sometimes all logic must take a backseat. The problem however is not our imaginary friend, It is our loyalty to it at the expense of our humanity. Keep your faith if it helps you through hard times, But never let it be an impediment to universality. Imagination is healthy when it sustains us as human, When it ruins our humanity, it's time for its demolition.”

“The Being is The Bridge (The Sonnet) I came to life at Dakshineswar, At Kapadokya I got my sight. I found my might at Shaolin, At Liberty Island I came to light. In Pernik I bathed in love, By the Volga I tasted sapience. Lika taught me the role of innovation, Sudbury gave me the sail of science. Streets of Calcutta showed me suffering, Streets of Chicago reminded, I'm the answer. It's not the place but people who hold magic, Revolution rose when all of them came together. You won't know me as the father of a nation. You'll know me as the maker of amalgamation.”

“Sacred Feminines and Holy Fathers (The Sonnet) Listen you all discrimination-vaalo, No matter how much you whine and wallow, To obliterate all hateful bone and marrow, Lo comes a generation of caballera, caballero! Not a trace of dominant fear and anxiety, Not a particle of self-centric practicality, Lo come the bravehearts made of thunder, Lo come the true preservers of humanity! Breaking free from all that is old and rotten, Overcoming all drives of untamed tribalism, Lo come the sacred feminines of creation, Lo come the holy fathers of nondivisionism! Though divided by thought, still united by heart, Grab these new nerves, give yourselves a jumpstart.”

“Peace is Existence (The Sonnet) Peace is not a statement, Peace is existence. Love is not a sentiment, Love is sentience. Awareness is not a practice, Awareness is absolution. Moderation is not restriction, Moderation is jubilation. Ignorance is not inferiority, Ignorance is upliftment. Failure is not the end, It is the road to development. Acknowledge the whole, quirks and all. You have all the powers to treat the world.”

“How I Get My Ideas (The Sonnet) You wanted to know how I get my ideas, The universe speaks to me. You wanted to know how my words appear, The soil and the air hand them to me. You asked how do I speak for every culture, I listen to the heart beyond the word. You asked how am I not bound by geography, Long ago I turned my inner walls into dust. You said to me that I should have some fun, I'll indeed have fun when the fallen are lifted. You wanted to know why do I care at all, That's because I am an alive human not an insect. Instead of asking why and how a human acts human, If there is no such being around why not be the first one!”
