Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Run a layer of skin smoothening on a picture, And it enhances the quality of the picture. Run the smoothening more than is necessary, And you ruin the very life of the picture. Likewise, logical thinking in moderation, Enhances the quality of life. But practice logic beyond proportion, And you ruin the sweetness of life.”

“Sonnet 1103 Our ancestors are not the boss of us, Life must be dictated by living conscience. Dead people may have the right to make suggestions, But they do not have the right to issue mandates. Our ancestors belong in history books, Our descendants belong in comic books. Only we are alive to belong here and now, Don't waste that life, submissive to books. Too much involvement in the past cripples your present, The same is true with too much involvement in the future. If you are oblivious to the human condition of now and here, Ignorance and intellect will equally end up causing disaster. Use past and future as markers of direction, But never as authority on living tradition.”

“Vande Vasudhaivam Sonnet 68 Don't be fooled by my attire, You think of me a fool because I want you to think of me a fool. I am a behaviorist, and by behaving idiot I study who's true, who's a tool. I don't dress all ancient like a monk, yet monks come to hear the words I utter. I don't dress fancy like world leaders, yet world leaders look to me for answer. I don't wear the uniform of law, yet coppers study me to be better cops. I never got to put on a white coat, yet white coats study me to be better docs. I am the person beyond the paradigm, I am but a reflection of the best of humankind.”

“Only Bow to Love (Sonnet 1360) I don't bow to truth, Truth is my toy. I don't bow to science, Science is my toy. I don't bow to law, Law is my slave. I don't bow to wealth, All wealth end in ashes. I don't bow to no constitution, I pen constitutions in my sleep. No holy writ is my authority, I pour out holiness on a daily basis. I am love, I only bow to love. Till I sleep, everyday I fall anew. Facts, faith, law, go get in line. When I see fit, I'll call you.”
