Adi Shankara Teachings & Quotes
From Satsanga (knowledge of the Truth) comes non-attachment, from non-attachment comes freedom from delusion, which leads to self-settledness. From self-settledness comes Jivan Mukti (liberation).
Do not boast of wealth, friends, and youth. Each one of these are destroyed within a minute. Free yourself from the illusion of the world of Maya and attain the timeless Truth.
You get joy, Of meditation or passion, Or you get joy, In solitude or in company, But All these are but impermanent. Try to make your mind one, With Para Brahmam, That is the only permanent joy.
Oh mad man! Why this engrossment in thoughts of wealth? Is there no one to guide you? There is only one thing in three worlds that can save you from the ocean of samsara. Get into that boat of Satsangha (knowledge of the Truth) quickly.
