Adi Shankaracharya Quotes and Sayings
- As long as there is life in your body, your
people may have concern for you, but once the
life-breath ebbs out of your body, even your own
wife will run away from you.
- The body has become decrepit, the hair on
the head has turned completely gray; the mouth
has become totally toothless; the back is bent
down and the old man cannot take even a step
witout the aid of his stick; yet he does not
loosen even a bit, his hold on the bundle of
desires.
- He who has killed the shark of the senses
with the sword of firm dispassion can cross the
sea of samsara without impediment.
- Clad in stray rags, treading the path beyond
good and evil, caring for neither earning merit
by taking to good deeds nor stooping to do any
evil, and lost in meditation the yogi revels in
the Supreme always, lost to all outward norms
and decorum -- his behaviour may look prankish
like that of a child or may be even queer like
that of a lunatic.
- The tangle of words is a great forest which
leads the mind off wandering about, so wise men
should strive to get to know the truth about
their own nature.
- One cannot become a king just by saying, "I
am the king," without defeating one's enemies
and taking possession of the country.
- Even wise men cannot get rid of the sense of
doership all of a sudden when it has grown
strong, but those who are unwavering in
so-called imageless samadhi can, whose desire
for this has been developed over countless
lives.
