Bøger af Abhijit Naskar

Eine Sammlung von einhundert ausgewählten Sonetten von Naskar, von Naskar selbst auf Deutsch umgeschrieben. "Ich bin Fröhlichkeit, Ich bin Gewissen.Mein Leben gehört nicht mir, es ist dein Andenken. Ich bin Sensibilität, Ich bin Menschlichkeit.Das Leben liegt im Dienst, Selbstsucht tötet die Gesundheit. Ich bin Inklusion, Ich bin unteilbar.Mein Kampf ist die Einheit, Mensch und Hass sind unvereinbar."

Thus speaks Naskar: "Letter to My Soldiers I am only the beginning - the beginning of a new kind of humans - humans who belong to not one culture, but many cultures - humans who speak not one language, but many languages - humans who study scriptures and science with equal enthusiasm, yet pledge allegiance to neither, and know how to use both in the benefit of humanity - humans who aim for neither belief nor disbelief, but warmth and understanding - humans who are more concerned with the real hard problem of inhumanity, than the outdated hard problem of consciousness - humans who sacrifice their life treating the real hard question of hate, rather than the mythical hard question of god. I am only the beginning - the first spark, if you may - the best are yet to come."

"You can train a mind to think, but you can't train a heart to love. Either you love or you don't, there's no training. Either you love or you don't, there's no thinking. Nobody thinks twice before hating, then why should you think twice before loving! Until love becomes instinctive as hate, nothing will change." Thus speaks Naskar.

"My ethnicity is empathy, My race is reform, My nationality is oneness, My name is human." The humanitarian scientist's poetic masterpiece of inclusion.

Tum Dunya Tek Millet, literally translated, Whole World One Nation, is declaration of a dream - the dream of one world family. Thus speaks the humanitarian scientist: "From Karbala to Kurukshetra, from Jerusalem to Chanakkale, light of truth has never submitted to the howling audacity of divisive animality - then why should you? Remember, there is a karbala in each of you, there is a kurukshetra in each of you, there is a jerusalem and chanakkale in each of you. And till you accept defeat out of your own free will, not a force in the world can dampen the daring advances of love and reason. So, get up - get out - and get lost! Wanna lead the world? First learn about the world - get so lost in the struggles of each and every people of planet earth, that you forget where you came from altogether - get so lost in the struggles of the people of earth, that for the first time in life you start to breathe as a whole human being - get so lost, that for the first time you see the light of dawn not as a puny slave to puny borders, but as the civilized maker of a civilized world."

Insan Himalayanoğlu is a himalayan triumph of reform over rigidity. Thus speaks Himalayanoğlu: "All the world's an asylum, All the people are lunatics.Some are but loonies of love, Some loonies run by prejudice. Some die running in love of currency, Some die sharing the currency of love.Beyond the grasp of dollar and euro, Love is the only nonvolatilecurrency in the world. It's good to be a loonie, If the reason is justly humane.When human welfare is at stake, It's only logical to be insane. Sane, insane - be as the need arises, To hell with the judgment of nitwits!In an organic world no sanity is absolute, Boldly walk the spectrum as the purpose fits."

Rowdy Scientist puts the human in scientist, and humanity in science. "Rowdy Scientist Sonnet Science is neither boastful nor bashful, Science stands dutybound, forever mindful.Science gives the final answer as a ray of hope, With all avenues exhausted to the last granule. Science is neither defensive nor offensive, Science can't afford such primitive prerogative.Transcending binary norms science acts whole, Defying the comfort of all corrosive narrative. Science is slave to none, science enslaves none, Science blooms from reason, endorsing curiosity.But don't ever confuse curiosity with cynicism, Curiosity brings understanding, cynicism apathy. Average scientists seek answers, Great scientist seeks questions.Submissive scientists chase solutions, I'm a Rowdy Scientist, give me problems!"

Thus speaks the humanitarian scientist. "Not every christian is a good human, But every good human is a christian.Not every muslim is a good human, But every good human is a muslim.Not every jew is a good human, But every good human is a jew.Not every hindu is a good human, But every good human is a hindu.Not every buddhist is a good human, But every good human is a buddhist.Not every humanist is a good human, But every good human is a humanist.Goodness is universal, vessels may vary.Some call it water, some agua, some pani."

The existence of God has long fascinated the human species. Based on a system of belief and several historical encounters with God, the human society has constructed various religions. Whenever something bizarre bothers someone, and that someone takes refuge in divine guidance, hardcore religious preachers give only one absurd answer: "God works in a mysterious way". But has any of the billions of human minds on this planet ever experienced a true Almighty Being? Or is there a mysterious biological phenomenon underneath the human experience of God and Divinity? Does a Supreme Omnipotent Entity ever intervene in the daily issues of life on this planet? In this book celebrated Neuroscientist and International Bestselling Author Abhijit Naskar takes us to the scientific land of investigation where we shall explore the true biological foundation of God and religious beliefs. In this fascinating journey of neuroscience we shall discover how exactly we humans constructed God and not the other way around.

Sin Dios Sí Hay Divinidad is the humanitarian scientist's sermon of modern divinity. Thus speaks The Pastor Who Never Was. "If you believe, God is the supreme creator of everything, then God is also the one who gave you a brain. Use it. Likewise, if you know that we have evolved from the apes through natural selection, then you should also know about the fascinating mental faculty we developed alongside reason, called empathy. Use it. Some might say, it is cowardly of me to not pick any side with confidence. Well, I am a behaviorist after all. You don't expect me to peddle the same old dualistic ideologies that philosophers and theologians have been peddling for centuries, do you - that too with a complete disregard for the necessities of the everyday mind! I want to induce integration in the world, not conversion. So I say, if you believe in God, make it a reason for assimilation, not segregation. If you prefer reason, use it for warm ascension, not cold and fancy descension."

Spirituality is the magical word that gives mankind a feeling of divine bliss. It's a sensation that often surpasses all the regulations of conventional religious beliefs. Apparently the sensation of spirituality brings a kind of strength and confidence in human personality and also keeps one calm in times of distress. In modern times, many people consider themselves to be more spiritual than religious. But what does religion have to do with the transcendental world of spirituality? Which one of them came first? Why does spirituality have such a deep impact over the human species? How exactly we humans attained such a state where everything seems so very meaningful? And the most sensitive question is, was a divine intervention at all necessary for the seeds of spirituality to grow within the human mind? In this exhilarating journey of neurobiology, we find true biological answers to those questions.

Thus speaks the Divane Dynamite. "I only know of one divinity - kindness. Save kindness all else is fiction - from the fundamental facts of physics to the direst doctrines of scripture. Every construct of society must prove its worth in relation to kindness, in relation to uplift. If they can't, they require correction. And despite countless corrections if a construct fails to uphold the uplift of human condition before all else, it is the duty of the civilized beings to leave such construct behind as an appendage of human evolution."

"Everybody is a sleepy savage except those who are drunk in love for the helpless and the destitute.Life is either an instrument of love or nothing at all."Planet Earth's beloved Humanitarian Scientist Abhijit Naskar delivers us a handbook of international harmony that takes us in the direction of a world without conflict and sectarianism.
