Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“One human life is a thousand times more valuable than a thousand bibles, qurans, suttas and vedas - one human life is a thousand times more valuable than a thousand doctrines and rituals - one human life is a thousand times more valuable than a thousand theories and schools of thought - one human life is a thousand times more valuable than a thousand religions and ideologies.”

“Our leaders have not loved men: they have loved ideas, and have been willing to sacrifice passionate men on the altars of the blood-drinking, ever-ash-thirsty ideal. Has President Wilson, or Karl Marx, or Bernard Shaw ever felt one hot blood-pulse of love for the working man, the half-conscious, deluded working man? Never. Each of these leaders has wanted to abstract him away from his own blood and being, into some foul Methuselah or abstraction of a man.”

“Beyond sufism, beyond advaita, beyond christian mysticism, beyond humanism, beyond atheism, agnosticism and pantheism, there is a river - a river that's pure - a river that's chaste - a river that’s incorruptible - a river that has the power to breathe life into even the most degraded society - but you can't find it anywhere, for it doesn't exist in the way we usually perceive existence, that is, it doesn't exist as a tangible physical river, like the Hudson or the Thames or the Nile - rather it exists as particles in your brain, and all it needs is the right kick to get formed. And when enough such rivers start flowing from the fountainhead of enough awake brains, the whole world will turn into an ocean of vigor, virtue and love.”

“Geography divides people only if the people allow it - faith divides people only if the people allow it - intellect divides people only if the people allow it - politics divides people only if the people allow it. So, unless the people allow it, nothing can tear our world apart. Unless you allow it, nothing can tear our society apart.”

“To unite this whole world with the thread of acceptance and harmony, may sound like a titanic task, but all it takes is one generation of conscientious and responsible citizens in each nation - if only these handful of young members of the society around the world take up the responsibility to raise, not citizens of a nation, but citizens of a planet, then no force in the world can keep the process of unification of humans manifesting in front of our eyes.”
