Humanism Quotes

“Often pastors as well as my fellow scientists ask me - are you a believer or non-believer - I smile and reply, all I care about is to abolish the barriers that people have raised among themselves. I work to create living Christs in every field of society to take care of every corner of the world.”

“What does the river, the trees, the sun care about the concept of God - their sole purpose is to sustain life on earth - and so is mine. Christ made his sacrifice for his love for society, I have made my sacrifice for my love for society, and I believe strongly more than anything else, that this tradition of sacrifice will continue through many more Christs and Naskars, so long as there is human suffering on earth.”

“Civilization starts with us, so if we want to build a just and humane civilization, we must be just and humane ourselves. Look in the mirror - what do you see - do you see an animal that looks like a human - or do you see something more - look deeply - look beyond the shape and everything external - and you'll witness an entire civilization in the shape of a human.”

“Two Liberties (A Sonnet) There is not one but two liberties, One is savage and the other is civilized. Savage liberty lacks accountability, The civilized one makes us humanized. In the jungle liberty is the supreme law, But one that involves no accountability. Thus injustice is the norm of wildlife, But it can't be accepted in human society. Accountability is the line of control, Between human and animal behavior. You don't need intellect to draw the line, All you need is a well-formed character. So liberty must be guided by accountability, Only then can we create a sane society.”

“Once upon a time there was a wealthy king. He had a huge garden and he employed two gardeners to take care of it. One of them was absolutely useless - he would lazily spend all his time without doing a single work around the garden, but whenever his master visited, he would simply usher him with praise. The other gardener was a humble fellow and rather a quiet one. He didn't talk much, but he worked the whole day taking care of the garden and grew all sorts of beautiful flowers and fruits. Now who do you think would be most beloved to the king! Many people call this king God, I call it nature. And one who takes care of the children of the king is more beloved to the king than the one who does nothing but talks highly of the king.”

“Most people confuse divinity with magic, but here is the reality of the matter - there is no magical or extraterrestrial divinity involved in the affairs of the human world - the divinity that can make any difference in our world is the divinity that we hold in our heart - the divinity which is commonly known as humanity. You may attend a thousand churches and yet die as a divine vacuum, but one who does everything in their power to help others with or without any special inclination for the church, is the very embodiment of divinity.”

“The only way you can see someone turn water into wine without resorting to trickery is if you are already drunk. That’s not the kind of miracle that the world needs - what the world needs is the miracle of kindness - it needs the miracle of acceptance - it needs the miracle of unity in diversity.”

“No messiah is coming to save us or our world, it is us who have to save ourselves as well as our world. We are our own responsibility - our world is our responsibility - our people are our responsibility. And anybody who takes the responsibility of their society on their shoulder, is a patriot - such a person is the real Christ, real Buddha, real Naskar of their time.”

“When you can't live a day without helping others - when you can't breathe without watching someone smile because of you - when you can't even taste the food until you know that someone is able to put food on the table for their family because of your kindness - that day you'd know what it is to be human.”
