"उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत --
arise! Awake! and stop not till the goal is reached."
Life is ever expanding, contraction is death. The self-seeking man who is looking after his personal comforts and leading a lazy life -- there is no room for him even in hell.
He alone is a child of Shri Ramakrishna who is moved to pity for all creatures and exerts himself for them even at the risk of incurring personal damnation, इतरे कृपणा: -- others are vulgar people.
- Swami Vivekananda,
in a Letter to Brother Disciples
from US (1894)
