“Naskar Goes to Earth (2745-2746)

I was born of flesh,
and given the name Naskar,
I outgrew the rule of flesh,
but kept the name as token.

Flesh and name are both just shell,
both have a role, but none is sovereign.
Submit to flesh, and monkeys run amok,
worship the name, and stagnation sets in.

I was born of ash,
I lived as electricity,
I'll end in ash, and someone
somewhere will carry my insanity.

I don't want you to inherit my belief,
I don't even want you to inherit my ideas,
if there is one thing I want you to inherit,
it's my insatiable responsibility to the world.

If you're sufficiently dutybound to humanity,
like a living, breathing human being should be,
you'd inadvertently develop the same ideas,
even if you haven't read a single leaf of me.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace
