your duty at present is to go from one part of the country
to another, from village to village and make the people
understand that mere sitting about idly won’t do any more.
Make them understand their real condition and say, ‘O ye
brothers all arise, awake. How much longer would you
remain asleep.’ Go and advise them how to improve their
condition, and make them comprehend the sublime truths
of the shastras by presenting them in a lucid and popular
way. Also instruct them in simple words about the
necessities of life and in trade commerce, agriculture, etc.”
— Swami Vivekananda
