Swami Vivekananda
VIVEKANANDA CALLS
ARISE, AWAKE, AND STOP NOT TILL THE GOAL IS REACHED
Young men, arise, awake, for the time is propitious. Be bold and fear not. Arise, awake, for your country needs this tremendous sacrifice. It is the young men that will do it. Arise and awake, the world is calling upon you. Arise with enthusiasm in your blood. Think not that you are poor, that you have no friends. Ay, whoever saw money make the man? It is man that always makes money. The whole world has been made by the energy of man, by the power of faith.
...Take my advice. Set yourselves wholly to the service of others, when you come from your colleges. Believe me, far greater happiness would then be yours, than if you had a whole treasury full of money and other valuables at your command.
...We want Sraddha, we want faith in our own selves. Strength is life, weakness is death. Men we want, and how can men be made unless the Sraddha is there?... We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one's own feet.
...Go all of you, wherever there is an outbreak of plague or famine, or wherever the people are in distress, and mitigate their sufferings. At the most you may die in the attempt, what of that? ...Die you must, but have a great ideal to die for, and it is better to die with a great ideal in life.
...Do any deserve liberty who are not ready to give it to others? Let us calmly and in a manly fashion go to work, instead of dissipating our energy in unnecessary frettings and fumings.
Padmavasan.
