I love you all ever so much, but I would wish you all to die working for others - I should be rather glad to see you do that!
Even the least work done for others awakens the power within; even thinking of the least good of others gradually instils into the heart the strength of a lion.
Do not sit idle, thinking that everything will be done in time, later. Mind - nothing will be done that way.
Set yourselves to work - to work! Do not tarry - the time of death is approaching day by day!
On you lies the future hope of our country. I feel extreme pain to see your leading a life of inaction. – Swami Vivekananda
Die you must, but have a great ideal to die for and, it is better to die with a great ideal in life. Preach this ideal from door to door and you will yourselves be benefited and at the same time, be doing good to your country.
At the most, you may die in the attempt. What of that? How many like you are taking birth and dying like worms, every day?
Go, all of you, wherever there is an outbreak of plague or famine, or wherever the people are in distress, and mitigate their sufferings.
Calm and silent and steady work and no newspaper humbug, no name-making, you must always remember this.
