“Who is Miracle Human (The Sonnet)

Who is the miracle human,
Can they turn water into wine?
Do they never run out of bread,
Can they turn cotton into golden twine?
None of this is actually miracle,
All these are stories of fantasy.
When ignorance was default thinking,
Magic defined a person's capacity.
Real miracle is an act of kindness,
Nothing is higher and more divine.
When you share happily your last bread,
That is holiness most genuine.
Rise and conquer all old prejudice and fantasy.
Stand firm and foster the miracle humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mucize Insan: When The World is Family

“There is no such thing as anxiety, for anxiety is alertness in action - alertness that is produced by your brain to ensure self-preservation.

“Unselfish Sonnet

Unself your soul,
And lo the joy pours.
Wipe out the I,
And the world is yours.
The more selfish you are,
The more anxious you'll be.
One who's lost in service,
Is the epitome of humanity.
In a world of self-obsession,
Be the spark most selfless.
Burn yourself to ashes,
Let all bathe in your kindness.
To give is to live o human.
To die for others is salvation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hometown Human: To Live for Soil and Society

“Lift Others (The Sonnet)

If you want to lift your spirit,
Lift others.
If you want to help yourself,
Help others.
If you want to find happiness,
Forget about happiness.
If you want to discover joy,
Just give without selfishness.
Be crazy, loco and bonkers,
For the welfare of others.
The only kingdom of heaven,
Is in cheering someone who suffers.
Better than self-help is unself-help,
For the rise of people is rise of the self.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Gente Mente Adelante: Prejudice Conquered is World Conquered

“No Rest (The Sonnet)

There is no rest,
Till the last drop of tear is wiped out.
There is no leisure,
Till the voiceless can speak aloud.
There is no relaxing,
Till the last empty stomach is fed.
There is no sleep,
Till all droopy spines are made straight.
There is no joy,
Till the last grey life is colored.
There is no comfort,
Till the last anxious soul is empowered.
The struggle isn't over till the fallen rise.
Security later, first let us be civilized.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Gente Mente Adelante: Prejudice Conquered is World Conquered

In my soul are you.

But not without you.
My heaven is you,
My treasure is you.

All I want is you.
My science is you, my art is you.
The morning of my mind is you.”
