Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Mind is My Mecca (Sonnet) Wanna touch God? Touch a life in pain. Person becomes holy by helping another without gain. The world needs missionaries of love, missionaries of reason, not mercenaries of organized religion, out to harvest convert vegetation. I was born of dust, I live as flame, for I choose to be human, not a dead name. Not lords and ladies, not dukes and dames, mind stands beacon stripped of cages lame. Human is the one who asks no one to kneel; go, walk the earth not to evangelize, but heal. To be holy is to carry a candle, not sermon; mind is my mecca, soul is kindness in motion.”

“People ask me to set up charity, so they can donate money - but here's the thing, I don't want your charity - if you want to support what I do, you can do so by getting a few books, if you have the money to do greater good, go out and do good at the grassroots.”

“Questions like “Is this normal?” or “Am I weird?” reveal how deeply the concept of being “normal” is embedded in the subconscious of the ordinary majority. They don’t mean “Is this ordinary?” or “Am I a product of a photocopy?” when they ask these things, of course. In fact, they are not even consciously trying to conform to norms, even if their words might suggest otherwise. It is simply that they have internalized the association of the word “normal” with the idea of “good.”

“People living under a selfish system become adjusted to it in order to survive. They therefore naturally acquire a personal selfishness and just as naturally assume this same selfishness exists in all others, including the organizer. This ingrained suspicion must be destroyed; its destruction of it is an essential part of the fight for a people’s world. Not only must the dignity of the individual be restored but in that process man must begin to see the good in other men. He cannot see the good in others unless he has some of it within himself.”
