A collection of thoughts and philosophical writings by Adi Shankaracharya, one of the primary philosopher sages of India. He was the one to develop advaita philosophy to its fullest. The book is a summary of his advaitic thoughts.
Shankara managed to reform the religion, develop the philosophy and most significantly realise brahman in his short life spanning only 32 years. People considered him to be an incarnation of Lord Shiva himself even during his lifetime.
This book, which is a summary of his many works is a good starting point. Might one suggest a strategy of reading, re reading followed by regular contemplation.
