Arise , awake & work till you aim is not achieved
or arise , & work till you can .
Both the sentence are quite similar , generally the meaning is almost same , but the only difference is awake .
While both focusing to do your best , one is telling to arise while other say that be you should also awake , you should not be in the state of sleep .
While we compare with others , we saw so many people , different different type of people , it feels some are doing worth full , meaningful in there life , while some are doing just repetition .
Repetition is sleep , but once we are awaken we know what we are doing .
If we are awaken we will follow our destiny , if we are not we will follow others .
Just go to a Mahatma , go to a Goodman or a politician , they all will say arise & work , fight for your right , fight for your survival or take sanyas to meet the God (fight with your inner feelings if you are not willing to do it)
The issue is not only doing your best , but also doing your best with direction .
One policeman was trying to catch a thief , who was running after taking valuable from a house .
Police man was doing his best , when he was about to catch the thief , the thief was afraid .
But the thief was very intelligent , he thinks for a moment . while running he asked to the Police man , why you are waiting your energy behind me , I am an racing champion , you will not be able to catch me .
The policeman became angry & told I am the best racer in my department , you can not escaped .
the thief argued little more & same the Policeman did .
In Between the thief challenged the Policeman to touch the Pole , some distance away .
The Policeman was very much confident & take the challenge , but when he saw back to announce his victory , he saw no one was there . Thief was left behind & enjoying with the valuable .
Being more capable ,more energetic than the thief , Policeman could not catch the him.
Because He changed his focus , the aim was changed by the thief easily because while running the Policeman forget why he was doing this , while the thief was awaken & was smiling .
There is lot of race in the life , & lot of thieves are here in the way who always try to change our destiny , Some time the thieves are internal (our habits ) while some time they are external , But overall the purpose of each is to change our aim .
Its up to us how we respond.
