Service Of Humanity Quotes

“To me everyone is equal, until they feel the urge to offer advise based on some stroneage tradition. That moment, I stop considering them as equal humans, and start treating them as adolescent children. Whenever you feel the audacity to advise a reformer, ask yourself this - what exactly have you done for the society that makes you qualified to judge a reformer? I sacrificed my youth for the world. What have you done? I put off starting a family for the world. What have you done? I obliterated my national and cultural identity for the world. What have you done? Till you've abolished the last trace of active bigotry, intolerance and fanatical fantasies from your mind, don't you dare touch my work. Everybody can quote Naskar, not everybody can accompany Naskar.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

“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

“Mission over Recognition (The Sonnet)

Let me show you what is
action without expectation!
What is it to do your duty,
without regard for recognition!

Quite often I lose count of my works,
Yet I've never had a fancy book launch.
I write in silence, I release in silence,
I have no relation to praise and applause.

I am the peak of humanitarian literature,
All without an ounce of support or award.
I am not a writer, I am world reformer,
My first concern is an integrated world.

Whatever happens next, know that it had
nothing to do with the making of a mission.
It's easy to bask in the glory of the sun,
not so much to fuel solar combustion.”

Whole world would drown in dwindling dew.”

“Martyr's Dilemma
(An Existential Sonnet, 1349)

Abhijit Naskar are two, not one.
Abhijit the person, Naskar the mission.
Abhijit has dreams like an ordinary man,
While Naskar is the dream of world union.

Abhijit put his hopes and dreams away,
So that Naskar could engulf the world.
Abhijit even got dumped by the girl,
Because Naskar couldn't dump the world.

The question is, do I regret all this!
With all honesty - yes, I do on occasion.
All the vastness of Naskar isn't enough,
to make up for the things I missed out on.

The point is, it's okay to have regrets,
You ain't alive till you have regrets.
Yet I never abandoned my duty to the world,
For my mission is bigger than my regrets.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

Be the reason for someone's spark.
Better than bearing the light of faith,
Instill faith in someone's light.”

“Visvaviking (Sonnet 1504)

Smiling through my martyrdom
I took the world into my care.
Ice cold currents of catastrophe
are no match for my asgardian dare.

Swimming through a tsunami of sneer,
I found my peace in world's welfare.
Beware, o merchants of malice and hate,
Better not force your fate out of layer!

Crushing all memorials of invading scourge,
Parting the ocean to deliver from divide,
Rushing as apocalypse to right the wrong,
I am Sapiothunder to all genocidal pride.

I don't need invite from some puny paradise;
Cosmos, my Shangri-la - me, the Servant King.
Odin doesn't wait up for Valhalla to call -
Valhalla is my empire - I am Visvaviking!”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

Human is ointment to human yearn.
Human is morning to human mourn,

“I don't do anything for reward,
I do everything as a record,
a record of conviction -
a record of resilience -
a record of thunder -
a record of sentience.

My life is a repository
of what is possible if you put
your petty tribalisms aside.
I leave this repository
in your capable hands -
draw from it as you will -
put it to use as you deem fit.”

“I'm Here to Destroy You
(Sonnet of Naskars)

I'm not here to comfort you,
I'm here to make you restless.
I'm not here to enlighten you,
I'm here to destroy you peaceless.

When one Naskar dies,
a thousand Naskars will rise.
The duties of Naskar are too heavy
for self-coddling cowards to carry.

That's why, I'm here to destroy you,
your last ounce of self care and peace.
Doing what you need to sustain yourself is
one thing, but to obsess over it is cowardice.

I got no business with such cowardly insects,
who try to hide pettiness with perfectionism.
Give me ten messy vessels restless for purpose,
I shall give the world 10,000 years of ascension.”

Be the one anomaly that feasts on pain.
Seek out the pain among those around,
Rush down to heal like monsoon rain.”

“Homecoming Sonnet

Salutations to all, today is my homecoming,
To dwell in grief is treachery on life.
I sought plenty escape in translations,
but true ointment lies in the soil of life.

So I return, shattering shackles of sorrow -
Reignite me oh life, resuscitate me unto duty!
I want no more to sob through the alleys of pity -
Sanctify me oh divine nature, with renewed tenacity.

Today I break all spell of ominous cowardice,
Today I vivify my veins as the volcanic vanguard!
I refuse to be castrated by pathetic redundancy,
Today I revive my vows as defender of the world!”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets
