Raghuveer Onbv

“Where renunciation and longing for liberation are weak, tranquillity and the other virtues are a mere appearance, like the mirage in the desert.”
― Adi Shankaracarya, Shankara's Crest Jewel of Discrimination: Viveka-Chudamani

“Once we become conscious, even dimly, of the Atman, the Reality within us, the world takes on a very different aspect. It is no longer a court of justice but a kind of gymnasium. Good and evil, pain and pleasure, still exist, but they seem more like the ropes and vaulting-horses and parallel bars which can be used to make our bodies strong. Maya is no longer an endlessly revolving wheel of pain and pleasure but a ladder which can be climbed to consciousness of the Reality.”
― Adi Shankaracarya, Shankara's Crest Jewel of Discrimination: Viveka-Chudamani

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

“When our false perception is corrected, misery ends also.”
― Adi Shankaracarya, Shankara's Crest Jewel of Discrimination: Viveka-Chudamani
