उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत,
क्षुरासन्न धारा निशिता दुरत्यद्दुर्गम पथ: तत् कवयो वदन्ति| --- कठोपनिषद्
Arise! Awake! Approach the great and learn.
Like the sharp edge of a razor is that path, so the wise say — hard to tread and difficult to cross. --- Kaṭhopaniṣad
Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached --- Swami Vivekananda (took inspiration from the above sloka of Katha Upanishad)
