Shankaracharya


It is a fool who blames the sun for his own blindness.
The scriptures even proclaim aloud:
There is in truth no creation and no destruction;
No one is bound, no one is seeking Liberation,
No one is on the way to Deliverance.
There are none Liberated.
This is the absolute truth.

My dear disciple, this, the sum and substance
Of all the Upanishads, the secret of secrets,
Is my instruction to you.
