4 Quotes by Shankara

Who but the Atman is capable of removing the bonds of ignorance, passion and self-interested action?

Die ersten Schritte sind wertlos, wenn der Weg nicht zu Ende gegangen wird.

Action cannot destroy ignorance, for it is not in conflict with ignorance. Knowledge alone destroys ignorance, as light destroys dense darkness.

Like the appearance of silver in mother of pearl, the world seems real until the Self, the underlying reality, is realized.
