Uttisthata Jagrata is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. This discourse is the second chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 1.[1]

Synopsis

In this discourse Anandamurti discusses a verse of Katha Upanishad

Uttiśt́hata jágrata prápya barán nibodhata;
Kśurasya dhárá nishitá duratyayá durgaḿ pathastat kavayo vadanti.

In this Upanishad verse, the path of Supreme attainment was compared to a razor’s edge and it was also told that walking on a religious path is like walking on a razor edge.

Now, Anandamurti observes that common people generally think that they are bereft of intellect and they are ignorant and that's why they can't travel the path.
