Naskarians Quotes

“Azad Earth Army (The Sonnet)

From river to the sea,
Al Shams to Alpha Centauri,
I'll radicalize each child into
a volcanic veteran of inclusivity.

Palestine, Kashmir, America,
every territory will be humanized,
without resorting to canon calls,
for my soldiers are walking dynamite!

Give me a speck of spinal nerve,
I'll weave awaken bulldozing thunder!
My patriots are keeper of the world,
not stately pawn of terror and blunder.

Awake, arise, adopt the world,
let no monkey nationalize your humanity.
Final call to a free* world, you,
o bravehearts, are my *Azad Earth Army!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Little Planet on The Prairie: Dunya Benim, Sorumluluk Benim

“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

“To understand me, you have to listen as a human, not as believer or nonbeliever, but as human.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

“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

“The book covers are a crucial part of my work - personally speaking. Particularly because, I cannot write a single word of a book unless I feel the entire book in the cover. That's why, once the title of a book sends thunder down my spine, and the cover image flashes before my eyes, I immediately get cracking with the cover. And once I have the title and the cover image, words and ideas just keep pouring.

In the early days I used to make my own covers, because I could not afford to hire professional help. Today I still make my own covers, because no designer can bring out the distinct feel of Naskarean ideas through the covers better, than Naskar himself - just like no literary editor has the capacity to edit a Naskarean manuscript, except for Naskar himself. You don't edit the Everest, you edit yourself to be able to climb the Everest. If editing is required, it can only be conducted by the Everest himself.

Mark you, this doesn't mean you must gobble my ideas word for word - rather it means that, Naskarean ideas are presented to the world exactly as they pour out of my mind, undiluted and unaltered - after that, what you accept, what you don't - how you accept, how you don't, is up to you.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iman Insaniyat, Mazhab Muhabbat: Pani, Agua, Water, It's All One
