“Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.”
— Swami VivekanandaRepeated in lectures from 1895 onward, adapted from the Katha Upanishad (1.3.14)
Commentary
Vivekananda drew on this Upanishadic call to urge Indian youth toward self-reform and national renewal. The phrase became a rallying cry, and it has since been widely adopted outside its original context.
