Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“The Golden Sonnet Where is el dorado? It is not a city but a person. Where is the kingdom of heaven? It is not a place but compassion. Where can we find joy? Not the market but in acts of goodness. Where can we find health? Not in gadgets but in simpleness. Where can we find strength? Not in the bank but in character. How can we make progress? Not with luxury but by lifting the other. Lesser the needs, better the life. Gentler the soul, lighter the strife.”

“Love Alone Triumphs (The Sonnet) Great people have often said, Truth alone triumphs. I am no great but a plain human, So I say, love alone triumphs. Truth may require intellect, Inquiry requires some cynicism. To be loving needs none of that, Love lights up the darkest chasm. Keep your intellect if you desire, Explore further the arc of truth. But all the discovery means nothing, If countless souls go without food. It is far better to be an insane lover, Than to be a heartless discoverer.”

“Lift Others (The Sonnet) If you want to lift your spirit, Lift others. If you want to help yourself, Help others. If you want to find happiness, Forget about happiness. If you want to discover joy, Just give without selfishness. Be crazy, loco and bonkers, For the welfare of others. The only kingdom of heaven, Is in cheering someone who suffers. Better than self-help is unself-help, For the rise of people is rise of the self.”

“We have attempted to reduce all virtues to kindness. Plato rightly taught that virtue is one. You cannot be kind unless you have all the other virtues. If being cowardly, conceited, and slothful, you have never done a fellow creature great mischief, that is only because your neighbors welfare has not yet happened to conflict with your safety, your self approval, or ease. Every vice leads to cruelty. Even a good emotion, pity, if not controlled by charity and justice leads through anger to cruelty. Most atrocities are stimulated by accounts of the enemies atrocities and pity for the suppressed classes when separated from the moral law as a whole leads by a very natural process to the unremitting brutalities of a rein of terror.”
