You never identify yourself with the shadows cast by your body, or with its reflection, or with the body you see in a dream or in your imagination. Therefore you should not identify yourself with this living body either.
Adi ShankaraThus one should know oneself to be of the nature of Existence-Consciousness-Bliss[Sat-Chit-Ananda].
Adi ShankaraJust as a stone, a tree, a straw, grain, a mat, a cloth, a pot, and so on, when burned, are reduced to earth (from which they came), so the body and its sense organs, on being burned in the fire of Knowledge, become Knowledge and are absorbed in Brahman, like darkness in the light of the sun.
Adi ShankaraThe world, like a dream full of attachments and aversions seems real until the awakening.
