“Present is the gateway to the future.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Good Scientist: When Science and Service Combine

“The first step of building a good future is to recognize the reality of the present and then work through that reality. With one hand I support the present and with another I build the future. With one hand I support patriotism and with another I work towards universalism. With one hand I support good democracy and with another I work towards meritocracy. With one hand I support good politicians and with another I build the future without politics.”

“If you are conscientious and responsible, and you act on that responsibility, then all will be well for our society, but if you live and act like a bunch of spineless bugs asleep with complacency, then even a thousand Naskars, Chomskys and Platos would fall short to put the society straight.”

“Most people confuse divinity with magic, but here is the reality of the matter - there is no magical or extraterrestrial divinity involved in the affairs of the human world - the divinity that can make any difference in our world is the divinity that we hold in our heart - the divinity which is commonly known as humanity. You may attend a thousand churches and yet die as a divine vacuum, but one who does everything in their power to help others with or without any special inclination for the church, is the very embodiment of divinity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Good Scientist: When Science and Service Combine

“Once upon a time there was a wealthy king. He had a huge garden and he employed two gardeners to take care of it. One of them was absolutely useless - he would lazily spend all his time without doing a single work around the garden, but whenever his master visited, he would simply usher him with praise. The other gardener was a humble fellow and rather a quiet one. He didn't talk much, but he worked the whole day taking care of the garden and grew all sorts of beautiful flowers and fruits. Now who do you think would be most beloved to the king! Many people call this king God, I call it nature. And one who takes care of the children of the king is more beloved to the king than the one who does nothing but talks highly of the king.”

“Alleviation of human suffering should be the direct outcome of science, not a collateral byproduct.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Good Scientist: When Science and Service Combine

“Science if put to real use for the benefit of humanity could eliminate suffering in a matter of months, yet suffering persists - you know why, because the science of today is driven by capitalism not curiosity. Science driven by capitalism creates a divided planet - where one section has more than they can digest and another has not even the essentials to keep body and soul together.”

― Abhijit Naskar, Good Scientist: When Science and Service Combine

“It's better to have no science than to have a science without accountability.”

“Argumentation doesn't breed solution, it only breeds more chaos. If you want to find solution, then observe, scrutinize and discuss. However, a discussion has to be an actual discussion to be able to solve a problem, and not a debate in disguise.”
