ARISE AND AWAKE, LET MINOR THINGS, AND QUARRELS OVER LITTLE DETAILS AND FIGHTS OVER LITTLE DOCTRINES BE THROWN ASIDE


"Let the sages blame or let them praise, let Lakshmi come today or let her go away, let death come just now or in a hundred years; he indeed is the sage who does not make one false step from the right path." Arise and awake, for the time is passing and all our energies will be: frittered away in vain talking. Arise and awake, let minor things, and quarrels over little details and fights over little doctrines be thrown aside, for here is the greatest of all works, here are the sinking millions.
