Interdisciplinary Quotes

“Breakthrough innovation occurs when we bring down boundaries and encourage disciplines to learn from each other”
― Gyan Nagpal, Talent Economics: The Fine Line Between Winning and Losing the Global War for Talent

“This world is of a single piece; yet, we invent nets to trap it for our inspection. Then we mistake our nets for the reality of the piece. In these nets we catch the fishes of the intellect but the sea of wholeness forever eludes our grasp. So, we forget our original intent and then mistake the nets for the sea.

Three of these nets we have named Nature, Mathematics, and Art. We conclude they are different because we call them by different names. Thus, they are apt to remain forever separated with nothing bonding them together. It is not the nets that are at fault but rather our misunderstanding of their function as nets. They do catch the fishes but never the sea, and it is the sea that we ultimately desire.”
― Martha Boles, Universal Patterns

“But now, I feel like there's something in me that can't stay quiet anymore.

"What I was trying to say is that it reminds me of Einstein's theory of relativity. But obviously[,] Milton isn't talking about the speed of light, he's talking about how the human mind views life."

[....]

"But really, Milton and Einstein were kind of saying the same thing. That everything is subjective in the human mind. Our emotions, our opinions, they're all relative. It all depends on perspective.”
― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes

― Abhijit Naskar, Bulletproof Backbone: Injustice Not Allowed on My Watch

“I have no genre, I am the genre.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“I have no genre, I am the genre; neuroscience, theology, poetry, criminology, anthropology, all are mere kindling wood, and I am the fire of unflinching good.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“I am the genre.”
― Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock

“If you want safe, straightforward Naskar, read everything I wrote till about 2017, if you got the backbone to confront prejudice, read things I wrote till 2023 - but do not even dare to touch the works I poured after 2023, with a tribal, sectarian, linear, neanderthal mindset -

post-2023 Naskar texts are not for a planet of apes, they're for the humans who have genuinely outgrown the constraints of nation, religion, faith, intellect, facts, fiction, and all that dualistic jungle garbage.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“The Naskar Anomaly (Sonnet 3119-3120)

What happens when an engineering dropout becomes a monk, monk becomes brain scientist, brain scientist becomes poet polyglot, and poet polyglot becomes dervish, and none of the identities ever retire, only get absorbed into the next one!

And you wonder why you cannot classify my texts! Because the Naskar canon is not born of any single discipline, it's born of the confluence of multiple disciplines and cultures.

The world says, I blend science and spirituality, but the fact of the matter is, I don't even know how to, I don't even know the difference between science and spirituality, inside my mind science and spirituality are one, something you cannot fathom with cold intellect or blind faith, particularly because my spirituality is not erected on supernaturalism, nor is my science founded on cold intellectualism:

kindness is my spirituality, welfare is my science - I'm aware of the facts as the next scientist, but my priorities are lightyears apart from most scientists.

Your ape societies haven't evolved to accommodate a multicultural, multidisciplinary existence, they've evolved to gaslight brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor, nation against nation, culture against culture - and whenever a life shows the slightest civilized sign of inclusivity and integration, it's classified as a threat and a traitor.”
