Thought of the Day (139): Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached

"Arise! Awake! and stop not until the goal is reached."
Swami Vivekananda

This is one of the most popular quotes of Swami Vivekananda. It is said that this quote has its origin in Katha Upanishad )chapter 1.3.14) as stated below:

उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत ।

उत्तिष्ठत (Arise), जाग्रत (Awake), प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत (stop not till the desired end is reached).

The word 'arise' suggests that we get up, keep moving, and be in action in the direction of our chosen goal. 

The word 'awake' asks us to awaken ourselves from our ignorance of ourselves and our true potential. There is enormous potential hidden in each one of us which we are not aware of. It is time we understand that and start exploring ourselves and the enormous potential that we humans are gifted with. If we are fully and truly 'awake' in that context, there is nothing impossible for us to achieve. Any goal, however big it is, can be achieved.

 To your continued SUCCESS,
With love,
Siva
