Awake, arise, and dream no more! This is the land of dreams, where Karma Weaves unthreaded garlands with our thoughts ...Be bold, and face The Truth! Be one with it! Let visions cease...
The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda IV, pp 388-89
@nsitharaman quotes from the Katha Upanishad & Swamiji’s adoption of the saying “arise awake”. Sweetie its “cease not until your goal is reached” not “dream no more”; unless it’s Budget 2020 that you are warning us about! 😹🙈 https://t.co/piAWuwpmgy
Glad you’re taking interest. While he is oft-quoted w/the verse from Katha Upanishad, what I’ve excerpted, is from ‘The Awakened India’, written in Aug 1898 — BTW, I had cited the reference below the verse itself. Pub by Advaita Ashrama if you’re further interested. https://t.co/fceSBUxain
In previous tweet, I had referred to FM as “akka” ie elder sister. The FM’s response is actually very gracious & dignified. I was indeed wrong in using term ‘sweetie’-a little confused though. If “sweetie” is wrong why do these Gender Justice warriors want it used 4 others? https://t.co/sR0jPagPTf
