TILL THEY HAVE BECOME PART AND PARCEL OF OUR LIVES, TILL THEY HAVE ENTERED INTO OUR VEINS AND TINGLE WITH EVERY DROP OF BLOOD THERE.


Therefore, children of the Aryans, do not sit idle; awake, arise, and stop not till the goal is reached. The time has come when this Advaita is to be worked out practically. Let us bring it down from heaven unto the earth; this is the present dispensation. Ay, the voices of our forefathers of old are telling us to bring it down from heaven to the earth. Let your teachings permeate the world, till they have entered into every pore of society, till they have become the common property of everybody, till they have become part and parcel of our lives, till they have entered into our veins and tingle with every drop of blood there.
