Arise, Awake Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Arise, Awake
Arise, awake
and learn from
the greatest teachers
you can find.*
Aspire higher
to attain knowledge, but
bend low to wipe the tears
of the last man on earth.
Note*: Quote from कठोपनिषद् Kaṭhopaniṣad: " उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत। uttiṣṭhata jāgrata prāpya varānnibodhata |

Thank you, Becca for your kind words. It is said "Guru sakshat paramBrahma" A true teacher adorns a place higher than that of Gods Himself
For many of the Indian sages of the yore, life was an unending quest for knowledge… And the fruit of their quest, we enjoy today…
