Adi Shankaracharya Quotes and Sayings
- Seek Govinda(god)! Seek Govinda! Seek
Govinda! Oh ignoramus, at the time of death the
rules of grammer, which you are trying to cram
and master, will not be able to rescue you at
all.
- The world which is full of attachments,
aversions, etc., is like a dream. It appears to
be real, as long as it continues but appears to
be unreal when one is awake (i.e., when true
wisdom dawns).
- Day and night, dawn and dusk, winter and
spring, all these are flitting across the stage
of the world. While time thus is frolicking and
befooling us, our life span is also running out;
yet we do not , even a little, give up the
clinging to our desires, nor do we let the
desires loosen their grip on us.
- Free yourself from lust, anger, greed and
delusion. Contemplate on 'who you are'. Enquire
within yourself, who am I ? The fools who fail
to apprehend the Self are caught in hell-fire
even here and now itself and suffer torture.
- Among the contributory factors of
liberation, devotion stands supreme, and it is
the search for one's own true nature that is
meant by devotion.
- Reality can be experienced only with the eye
of understanding, not just by a scholar. What
the moon is like must be seen with one's own
eyes. How can others do it for you?
- Only those who have achieved samadhi and who
have withdrawn the external senses, the mind and
their sense of doership into their true nature
as consciousness are free from being trapped in
the snare of samsara, not those who just repeat
the statements of others.
- Direct the mind resolutely towards God,
restraining the senses in their various seats,
and looking on the state of the body as a matter
of indifference. Realise your oneness with God,
remaining continually intent on identifying with
its nature, and joyfully drink the bliss of God
within, for what use is there in other, empty
things?
