“We study humans to give them a healthier and happier life.”

“Writers have limits, I don't, I am not a writer. I am a dimension immeasurable - siphon all you want, I won't run dry.”

“Faith is subordinate to love,
Philosophy is subordinate to love,
Science is subordinate to love.
Until you feel it in your bones,
You've got plenty dust to wash off.”

“I wanted to use science in a way that would have direct humanitarian consequences in interhuman relationships. And now even if I die, my works will keep on creating lion-hearted humanitarian torch-bearers of progress, for ages to come.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Lives to Serve Before I Sleep

“The only hard problem I'm concerned with is the problem of inhumanity (for the hard problem of consciousness no longer exists) and the only way to solve it is to work with an uncorrupted concern for society in the course of inclusion and assimilation, no matter our field of work.”

“Despite the noises,
Despite the compulsions,
Despite the lack of silver spoon,
Despite all third world obstructions -
If a dropout vagabond could do so much,
What holds you back from expansion!”

“I don't make baseless claims like - I'll remove all your fears, I'll remove all your anxieties, I'll remove all your insecurities. I am a scientist, not an influencer - which means, I am dutybound to adhere to the truth, no matter how inconvenient they are, instead of peddling comforting lies for exposure. And the truth is, if bombarding people with some fancy facts about the mind removed their worries, every household with a DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) would be the happiest place on earth.”

“Don't be fooled by my attire,
You think of me a fool because
I want you to think of me a fool.
I am a behaviorist, and by behaving idiot
I study who's true, who's a tool.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo

“Vande Vasudhaivam Sonnet 68

Don't be fooled by my attire,
You think of me a fool because
I want you to think of me a fool.
I am a behaviorist, and by behaving idiot
I study who's true, who's a tool.

I don't dress all ancient like a monk,
yet monks come to hear the words I utter.
I don't dress fancy like world leaders,
yet world leaders look to me for answer.

I don't wear the uniform of law,
yet coppers study me to be better cops.
I never got to put on a white coat,
yet white coats study me to be better docs.

I am the person beyond the paradigm,
I am but a reflection of the best of humankind.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo

“Abhijit The Useless (A Sonnet)

At school I didn't even know the term neuroscience,
Yet today I'm a symbol of neuroscience and psychology.
As a kid I never even dreamed of becoming a scientist,
I just wanted to observe the underpinnings of reality.

After high school I failed my medical entrance exam,
Yet to the world I am a vessel of ethics in medicine.
I chose CS Engineering instead but soon dropped out,
Yet today I am the epitome of responsible engineering.

Failure and success are eternally entangled,
Masses fear them while legends feast on failure.
I never felt the urge for academic validation,
Yet today I'm regularly cited in Springer.

I never studied science in the pursuit of grades,
I accidentally became a scientist by doing science.
Grades and degrees are shortcut to social validation,
But when you are a pioneer pushing the frontiers,
all mortal validation turns null and void.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo

“Once upon a time at my university dorm,
They used to gather around to hear me mumble.
So I had to put my coding assignment aside,
I loved machines, more I loved workings mental.

Through a rollercoaster ride of uncharted ocean,
Engineer became monk, monk emerged scientist.
Despite the thrill of building cars and rockets,
I feel more alive in being the human bridge.

Thus goes the odyssey of the bulldozer on duty.
Before we innovate tech, we gotta renovate humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Insan HimalayanoÄŸlu: It's Time to Defect

“All the world's an asylum,
All the people are lunatics.
Some are but loonies of love,
Some loonies run by prejudice.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Insan HimalayanoÄŸlu: It's Time to Defect

“All the world's an asylum,
All the people are lunatics.”

“Brain used to lift the world,
is the only human brain.
All else is mindless protoplasm,
ever-consumed with greed and gain.”

“I am proud to say, I am the son of a laborer - first one to have education in my family - and the first multicultural scientist and poet in human history.”
