Each thing tends to move towards its own nature. I always desire happiness which is my true nature. My nature is never a burden to me. Happiness is never a burden to me, whilst sorrow is.
Adi ShankaraLike the appearance of silver in mother of pearl, the world seems real until the Self, the underlying reality, is realized.
Adi ShankaraThe treasure I have found cannot be described in words, the mind cannot conceive of it.
Adi ShankaraDo not be proud of wealth, people, relations and friends, or youth. All these are snatched by time in the blink of an eye. Giving up this illusory world, know and attain the Supreme.
Adi Shankara
