Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“If I Must Die (The Sonnet) I have no desire to die as just, Another writer like that bard fella. If I must die as a writer, I will die as, The first multi-cultural writer en historia. I have no desire to die as just, Another founder of a sect or nation. If I must die as something, I'll die as, One of the founders of human unification. I have no desire to die as just another, Coldhearted scientist or pompous philosopher. If I must die as a scientist and philosopher, I'll die as the one who made love truth's driver. But above all that, I have no desire to die, period. Cowards die, whereas I, am already martyred.”

“Dervish Advaitam Sonnet Aham dharmam, aham daivam, Aham qurban for bhoolokam. Aham nyayam, aham shastram, Aham the end of all divisionism. Aham prakriti, aham pralayam, Aham the seed of all causality. I am life, I am death as well, Life to love ‘n death to inhumanity. To most people family is the world, But to me the world is family. Because I am accountable for all life, I am the epitome of collectivity. All that is civilized starts with me. Aham brahmandam, aham brahmasmi. (aham: I am, dharmam: duty, daivam: divinity, qurban: sacrificed, bhoolokam: kingdom of earth, nyayam: justice, shastram: gospel, prakriti: nature, pralayam: apocalypse, brahmandam: universe, brahmasmi: almighty)”

“Milkyway Messiah Sonnet (Simplified Version) Whenever humanity degrades into inhumanity, Whenever the oppressed cry out for a little dignity, Whenever political animals come and sell hate, Whenever morons 'n their yes men ruin harmony, Whenever some cavemen fly the flag of tribalism, Whenever love of luxury undermines accountability, Whenever gentleness is overpowered by greed, Whenever megalomania tramples heart's humility, Whenever goodness is patronized by cold smartness, Whenever compassion is vilified by indifference, Whenever selfishness is accepted as norm and sanity, Whenever accountability is deemed as an offence, Embracing affliction, from the dust 'n dirt of soil 'n street, You the Milkyway Messiah is to rise as the sentient shield.”

“Test of Faith (The Sonnet) How many gospels are there? Civilized answer is, who cares! How many apostles were there? Civilized answer is, who cares! What are the commandments? Civilized answer is, who cares! How many vedas are there? Civilized answer is, who cares! What is the meaning of basmala? Civilized answer is, who cares! What are the words of mool mantar? Civilized answer is, who cares! What god wants of us, who the fudge cares! To be human for all humans is what matters.”

“Mess With A Scientist (The Sonnet) Mess with a police officer, You may end up in prison. And you may end up dead, If you mess with a politician. Mess with a bureaucrat, You may end up exploited. Mess with a programmer, You may end up humiliated. If you offend a teacher, Your children might suffer. If you offend a preacher, You'll be deemed a blasphemer. But mess with a scientist, that’s your ticket to hell. Neither dead nor alive, you'll dangle in the middle.”

“Let Us Be (The Sonnet) Let us be evolution, Let us be the revolution. There is plenty pollution, Now let's be the solution. Let us be soldiers eternal, Let us be lovers adamant. Let's not fear the fiery storms, Let us be humans valiant. Let us be the hope to others, Let us be joy to others. In a world full of self-obsession, Across all self, let’s be the help to others. Service of society is no act of charity, For it is just life, for it is just humanity.”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 53 Better a marvelheaded idiot, Than a marbleheaded bigot. Better a self-proclaimed dope, Than an arrogant dilettante. Better a kindhearted commoner, Than a cockeyed intellectualist. Better an egalitarian infidel, Than a dogmatizing evangelist. All dogmas are born in the mind, So is the duster to wipe them. It is up to you what will you be, Vessel of dogma or the duster untamed! Convert none, help all, without imposition. Let uplift be the motive behind all conviction.”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 56 It's the citizens’ duty to make a nation nonpartisan, Government is meant to serve as powerless figurehead. All my hopes lie in the hands of accountable citizens, A good politician acts a citizen, not political dunderhead. So no more procrastination with the curation of society, No more playing hooky in the school of life and sanity. Be the politician that you seek in the sewers of state, Not by law but by an indefatigable accountability. Democracy means rule of the people, not sleep of people, Yet that's what it means to people 'n politicians alike. But shhh, nobody is supposed to admit any of it in public, For discretion is the better part of a society of sleeping mice. Let sleeping slime sleep, if you are human, take charge now. Dream with your eyes open and keep your democracy vow.”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 94 How will you know you’ve realized love? When people no longer appear at a distance. When they no longer appear as people, But as reflection of your own essence. When the other becomes I, I becomes universal. In that universal I all that there is, Is an echo of the people. The I is in all people, But people are not in all the I. That is why we suffer so much, That is why we all cry, cry and cry. If one dies thinking of people, They will live on through people.”
