উৎপত্তি ও কাহিনি

Katha Upanishad, Verse 1.3.14 · Traditional (Upanishadic); the teaching of Yama to Nachiketa · Vedic / Upanishadic

In the Katha Upanishad, the boy Nachiketa, sent to the abode of Death, wins from Yama himself the highest teaching about the Self. In the course of this instruction comes the rousing verse, 'Arise! Awake! Approach the worthy teachers and learn; the path is sharp as a razor's edge and hard to cross, so the wise declare.' It exhorts every seeker to leave the sleep of ignorance and strive, with the help of realized guides, toward knowledge of the immortal Self. In modern times Swami Vivekananda made it his famous call, 'Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.'

শাস্ত্রে যেমন বলা হয়েছে

Yama assures Nachiketa that the wise one who, hearing this teaching, arises and realizes the subtle Self — the soundless, formless, undecaying, eternal Reality — is freed from the jaws of death; thus this call to 'arise and awake' opens the very path beyond mortality.

দিকEast or North

Recite 'Uttishthata Jagrata' with vigour, letting its three imperatives — arise, awake, learn — stir you out of inertia. Reflect that the path to the Self is subtle and demanding, like the razor's edge, and so calls for unwavering attention and effort. Use it as a morning resolve or before spiritual study and practice, recalling Swami Vivekananda's exhortation to 'stop not till the goal is reached.'

এই পাতায় সম্পূর্ণ उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत বাংলা লিপিতে দেওয়া আছে — সেই একই মূল শ্লোক, অক্ষরে-অক্ষরে লিপ্যন্তরিত, যাতে আপনি স্বচ্ছন্দে পড়তে ও জপ করতে পারেন। যেকোনো পঙ্‌ক্তি (বা ▶ বোতাম) ছুঁয়ে তার পাঠ শুনুন।
হ্যাঁ — শুধু লিপি বদলায়; শব্দ ও তার অর্থ মূলই থাকে। এই পাতার শ্লোকে-শ্লোকে অর্থ, উপকারিতা ও পাঠের নিয়ম একইভাবে প্রযোজ্য।
It means 'Arise! Awake!' The full verse continues, 'approach the great teachers and learn the Self; sharp as a razor's edge and hard to cross is that path, so the wise declare.' It is a call to wake from spiritual ignorance and strive for Self-knowledge.
It is from the Katha Upanishad (1.3.14), which belongs to the Yajur Veda. The Katha Upanishad records the teaching given by Yama, the lord of death, to the young seeker Nachiketa.
Swami Vivekananda adopted 'Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached' (based on this verse) as a rallying cry to inspire people to throw off weakness and fear and strive boldly for the highest, both spiritually and in life.
The path to realizing the Self is compared to walking the sharp, narrow edge of a razor — it is subtle, demanding and easy to slip from. The image teaches that the spiritual journey requires keen alertness, discipline and steadfast effort.
