Naskareans Quotes

“Wanna change the world - first stop whining like backboneless fleshbags, and work till your last ounce of strength to attain a position of power. Run for office, be a copper, be a scientist, journalist, filmmaker - be something - anything - that earns you control over the paradigm. Infiltrate each and every corner of society that holds power, then use that power to lift up the world, towards an integrative, hateless and sustainable future. I'll be gone soon, but there'll come a time when every walk of society will be run by my soldiers. That day, I shall finally rest in peace, knowing that my world is in good hands - your hands.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science

“I am not a person, prison or path, for I am vicdan,
I'm saadet, my friend, I am the spirit of unification.
Call the sun as you like, it still brightens the world,
In the domain of realization, to label is desecration.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Ingan Impossible: Handbook of Hatebusting

“World Integration Day
(9th October Sonnet)

When I am gone,

Celebrate not October 9th,
as the day Naskar was born.
Celebrate it if you so desire,
as the World Day of Integration.

Tie a bracelet of assimilation,
amongst buddies across culture.
Pledge to have each other's back,
even if deemed tradition's traitor.

Mark you, one day is not enough,
to live as an integration advocate.
But the journey of a million miles,
must begin with one bold step.

Live each day of your life,
as proof of love and oneness.
Cause inclusion defying prejudice,
You are the cure for divisiveness.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tum Dunya Tek Millet: Greatest Country on Earth is Earth

“Naskar doesn't write for the white or colored, Naskar doesn't write for the believer or nonbeliever - Naskar doesn't write for the capitalist or socialist - Naskar only writes for the human - because Naskar is human - a whole human.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tum Dunya Tek Millet: Greatest Country on Earth is Earth

“Naskar is made by Naskar alone, not an industry or benefactor.”

“Thousand Naskars (The Sonnet)

When one Naskar dies in body,
Thousand Naskars will take his place.
Cowards seek comfort in reincarnation,
While the brave step in to fill the void.

Don't you dare make a cult of me,
Waiting for yet another second coming!
Reclaim your life from the land of myths,
Wishful inaction is most unbecoming.

Charge up your mind with facts and reason,
Charge up your heart with love and vision.
Backbone alive repels cowardly inaction,
Even if peddled by thousand year tradition.

When one Naskar dies in body,
Thousand Naskars will take his place.
Naskar the person died a long time ago,
What speaks to you is Naskar the oneness.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Bulletproof Backbone: Injustice Not Allowed on My Watch

“Question: Have you ever considered winning an award?

Naskar: Not really - I am a misfit - not quite mainstream enough for any of the fields. Besides, I am here to bridge cultures, not win awards.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Bulletproof Backbone: Injustice Not Allowed on My Watch

“Naskar has never sought for recognition, neither should Naskareans. Work my soldiers, work - work for the welfare of this world with the last ounce of valiance in your veins. Only then shall you stand bold and proud, with a smile on your face, as a testament to my life. I don't want to live in my words - I want to live through you - I want you to be the proof that there ever was a human called Naskar. I exist, when you exist - as the absolute epitome of humanness possible - when you don't, I don't.

I don't want your allegiance - to me or anybody else! Allegiance is too petty a term to define what I want of you - for I don't want your allegiance - I want your annihilation - your absolute apocalyptic annihilation - for the ascension of humanity! Can you do that? Then what are you waiting for! Burn my books, and go lift the world! Let me live in your blood, not in books.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yaralardan Yangın Doğar: Explorers of Night are Emperors of Dawn

“Across the globe I am often referred to as "the Indian neuroscientist" or "the Indian Author", despite the fact that my work is practically nonexistent in India, statistically speaking. Considering that, 90% of my book sales come from US, UK and Canada, the rest 10% from Europe, Mexico, South America and Australia, and zero from India - for transparency and context purposes I'll tell to you one more time - Abhijit Naskar is an Earth Scientist - Abhijit Naskar is an Earth Poet - Abhijit Naskar is an Earth Philosopher.

However, it's never about the sales, it's about the love. I only mention the demographics to put things in perspective. For example, there are many countries where people cannot afford to buy my books, since they are expensively exported from US and Europe, and yet, I receive far more love from these countries than the land I was born in. Philippines and Pakistan to name a few. As a matter of fact, hate wise speaking, Philippines is the only country so far, where I have not faced any hate and bigotry - which only goes to prove that, state of a currency does not reflect the broadness of heart. That's why, a substantial portion of my work is available freely on the internet.

The point is - I am no more Indian, than I am a Yank or Canadian or Mexican or Turk or Swede or Pinoy or British or Brazilian or Egyptian or Aussie. Passport is just a glorified bus pass - nothing more. So, I repeat - I am an Earth Scientist - remember that. Nationalization of Naskar is desecration of Naskar.”

“Everybody can quote Naskar, not everybody can accompany Naskar.”

“What I have written in ten years,
will last for over 10,000 years.
In the process, one man's nonduality
will flood the world with humanitarians.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

“Naskar nation - integration.
Naskar reason - assimilation.
Naskar vision - invigoration.
Naskar mission - unification.”

“Matters not if I die today,
My legacy will guard all tomorrow.
No matter if one Naskar is perished,
Thousands will rise to be world's marrow.”

“Humanitarian Wildfire (The Sonnet)

Naskareans can come from any field of life,
many are nerds, some athletes, others artists.
All united by a common humanitarian vision,
all standing unbent for humane advancement.

I've even left some modest material of fiction,
for the naskarean filmmakers of the future.
Then there is the fathomless dimension of sonnets,
add some music and you're a naskarean composer.

I have left behind something for everyone,
no matter your walk of life or taste of heart.
Show me a spark of social responsibility,
I shall turn it into humanitarian wildfire.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Divine Refugee

“My soldiers are my gift to cosmos,
archaic narrowness is no match for them.
I got martyred in the making of a life,
to shine as beacon for generations to come.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Divine Refugee

“Naskar not Nascar (The Sonnet)

Naskar is an alter ego,
Naskar is a calling,
a madness bigger than sanity,
not chained to one being.

Even Abi is no match for Naskar,
Abi will perish, not Naskar.
Naskar is a chemical catastrophe,
priming humans as kind thunder.

Naskar is factory of humanitarians,
imbued with wonders against malice.
Muscle up your heart, heart up your brain,
uncontaminated by leanings of prejudice.

Nascar is a race, Naskar is a journey,
voyage of sapiens ushering in humanity.
Surpassing constraints of bigotry,
Naskar is Manifest Humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations

“Sonnet 2000 (My Real Legacy)

My real legacy is not the books or the sonnets,
but the unbending humanitarians I've set on fire.
The literature is just a vessel for the spirit,
spirit of a world united, in reason and in care.

Ceaseless slurs are daily occurrence,
Mindless hate indeed plenty I face.
Yet I've kept all vengeance in check,
Never have I ever been lost in bitterness.

I am the line that I've drawn for myself,
Can't tell you how to behave, how not.
I stand steady as the human impossible,
Rest is up to you, what to take, what not.

I don't come from wealth, nor could I amass any,
I set out with zero dollars, and no publicity.
World integration is my life's first madness -
this madness I leave for you, now it's your duty.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood

“Naskar is an act of oneness,
not cleverness or creed.
Beyond the narrow lanes of habit,
one day you and I shall meet.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Every generation needs a Naskar, and the Naskar of your generation is you.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood

“My Cosmic Soldiers (The Sonnet)

Bloodline is of no consequence,
We gotta pass on galvanizing ideas.
I may quite easily die without heir,
World is in care of my cosmic soldiers.

My life is the best book I've written,
Rest are just spoils of my pilgrimage.
Embark as explorer transcending words,
Service to the world is truest of homage.

You may know me from the gifs,
You may know me from my sonnets.
Mere knowing counts for nothing,
Sail the sea forgetting safety nets.

My soldiers are my gift to cosmos,
archaic narrowness is no match for them.
I got martyred in the making of a life,
to shine as beacon for generations to come.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Divine Refugee

“I Am The Naskar (Sonnet 2100)

I am the Naskar,
and I bridge people.

Unlike religious salesmen,
I don't offer you a promised land -
because there is nothing to promise,
that land of love and life already exists -

it exists in your neurons - all you need to do is,
bring down the walls that keep you foreign,
all you need to do is, denounce the pills
that keep you alien in your own home.

And when I've drawn all my mortal breaths,
I'll take leave with one final declaration -
let there be gods - not one, not three,
but billions upon billions -

let each human be a god unto themselves -
without fear, without prejudice -
without superstition, without cynicism -
let each mind rise triumphant over malice.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

“No matter how many years go by, how many decades, how many centuries, there'll always be some people who'd call me a fraud - don't be upset, don't hold a grudge - nothing good ever comes out of bearing grudge, just let them be - let them be and let them go, because I forgive them.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“Names Behind Naskar (Sonnet)

The world often wonders about my influences,
in doing so it often cooks up fake inspiration.
So I write this little sonnet memoir, so you're
aware of the crucial names in my ascension.

There is no Naskar the neuroscientist,
without, firstly Persinger, then Ramachandran;
there is no Naskar the poet, without Mevlana.
And among all your historic philosophers,
only appealed to me Tolstoy and Aquinas.

Then there are Ramanujan and Tesla,
with whom I've identified deeply.
And finally, to speak of my origin,
there is no Naskar the mission,
without Gadadhar Chatterjee.

These are my most cherished beings,
names that are never out of my mind.
None of them were flawless, none my god,
but they live rent free as part of my light.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology
