Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“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.”

“Your Culture is My Culture (The Sonnet) With infinite love brimming in my heart, I have arrived at your doorstep. Please, I beg you, do not turn me back, Let me in, so I may be one with your footstep. It's not my fault, I wasn't born in your culture, Yet I've assimilated your culture as my own. Please do not throw me out my dear friend, Standing together our powers will be honed. I may not speak your native tongue, I may not be familiar with your way of life. But do you not smile like me when in joy, Like me do you not shed tears when in strife! Here I stand at your door with my arms stretched. Hold it with affection or chop it off if you so elect.”

“Your Struggle is My Struggle (The Sonnet) Your struggle is my struggle, ‘Cause my heaven is in your smile. Your trouble is my trouble, Without you by my side all victory is vile. My life is only life when you are in it, For a life without love is but death in disguise. Without you my achievements mean nothing, ‘Cause you’re the sweetness of all my flight. You are the light of my eyes, Without you I am but a ship without compass. You are the strength coursing through my veins, Without you I turn into worthless abscess. You are my sky, my land and my ocean. The breath of my life is you and my salvation.”

“I'm No Poet (The Sonnet) I thought I could bear the title poet, But as it turns out, I cannot. I can barely bear the title of scientist, Let alone adding another next to it. Each title feels like a burden herculean, My heart cannot function with such burden. If I am to create works of life and wholeness, I must be free from titles, sane and insane. My ideas are not born of mere thought, If they were, there wouldn't be any torment. My work comes from a land beyond labels, A place deeper than thought can penetrate. So you may call me whatever you like. In my mind, I am but a nameless light.”
