  I think it’s supposed to mean raise the quality of your argument. It’s ironically really poorly written.

  It means to elevate your language, rather than just get life. Raise as in rise above.

    I feel like it wouls be better to substitute elevate into that whole phrase rather than raise.

      But elevate and raise are synonymous, and the double entendre is kind of the whole point, here. I have no idea how it worked in the original Arabic, as this is a quote from medieval Sufi poet, Rumi. But I assume there was a similar clever play on words happening.
