T hat one God who shines within everything,
Who is formless like the cloudless sky,
Is the pure, stainless, Self of all,
Without any doubt, that is who I am.

I'm the infinite and immutable One;
I'm pure Consciousness, without any form.
I don't know how, or to whom,
Joy and sorrow appear in this world.

I have no mental karma, either good or bad;
I have no physical karma, either good or bad;
I have no verbal karma, either good or bad.
I'm beyond the senses;
I'm the pure nectar of the knowledge of the Self.

The Avadhuta Gita quote, Hinduism
#6 to 8, Reprinted from Abhayananda, S., Dattatreya: The Song Of The Avadhut, Olympia, Wash., Atma Books, 1992

W hat, then, is the heart of the highest truth,
The core of knowledge, the wisdom supreme?
It is, "I am the Self, the formless One;
By my very nature, I am pervading all."

The Avadhuta Gita quote, Hinduism
#5, Reprinted from Abhayananda, S., Dattatreya: The Song Of The Avadhut, Olympia, Wash., Atma Books, 1992

T ruly, all this universe is only my Self;
It is neither divided nor undivided.
How can I even assert that it exists?
I can only view it with wonder and awe.

The Avadhuta Gita quote, Hinduism
#4, Reprinted from Abhayananda, S., Dattatreya: The Song Of The Avadhut, Olympia, Wash., Atma Books, 1992

T he five subtle elements that combine to compose this world
Are as illusory as the water in a desert mirage;
To whom, then, shall I bow my head?
I, myself, am the stainless One!

The Avadhuta Gita quote, Hinduism
#3, Reprinted from Abhayananda, S., Dattatreya: The Song Of The Avadhut, Olympia, Wash., Atma Books, 1992

A ll that exists in this world of forms
Is nothing but the Self, and the Self alone.

The Avadhuta Gita quote, Hinduism
#2, Reprinted from Abhayananda, S., Dattatreya: The Song Of The Avadhut, Olympia, Wash., Atma Books, 1992

T ruly, it is by the grace of God
That the knowledge of Unity arises within.

The Avadhuta Gita quote, Hinduism
#1, Reprinted from Abhayananda, S., Dattatreya: The Song Of The Avadhut, Olympia, Wash., Atma Books, 1992

Y ou are the Self, the infinite Being, the pure, unchanging Consciousness, which pervades everything. Your nature is bliss and your glory is without stain. Because you identify yourself with the ego, you are tied to birth and death. Your bondage has no other cause.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Vivekachudamani; Prahhavananda, 1947, p.97

U tterly destroy the ego. Control the many waves of distraction which it raises in the mind. Discern the Reality and realize "I am That."
You are pure Consciousness, the witness of all experiences. Your real nature is joy. Cease this very moment to identify yourself with the ego.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Vivekachudamani; Prahhavananda, 1947, p.97

T he fool thinks, "I am the body"; the intelligent man thinks, "I am an individual soul united with the body." But the wise man, in the greatness of his knowledge and spiritual discrimination, sees the Self as the only reality and thinks, "I am Brahman."

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Vivekachudamani; Prahhavananda, 1947, p. 69

A s the mind becomes gradually established in the Self, it proportionately gives up the desire for external objects. When all such desires have been eliminated, there is the unobstructed realization of the Self.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Vivekachudamani; Prahhavananda, 1947;

E ven after the Truth has been realized, there remains that strong, beginningless, obstinate impression that one is the agent and experiencer... This has to be carefully removed by living in a state of constant identification with the supreme Self. Sages call that cessation of mental impressions, "Liberation."

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Vivekachudamani; Prahhavananda, 1947;

T eachers and scriptures can stimulate spiritual awareness. But the wise disciple crosses the ocean of ignorance by direct illumination, through the grace of God.
Gain experience directly. Realize God for yourself. Know the Self as the one indivisible Being, and become perfect. Free your mind from all distractions and dwell in the consciousness of the Self.
This is the final declaration of the Vedanta: Brahman is all; [It is] this universe and every creature. To be liberated is to live in the continual awareness of Brahman, the undivided Reality.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Vivekachudamani; Prahhavananda, 1947, p.131

S eated in a solitary place, free from desires and with senses controlled, one should meditate free of thought on that one infinite Self.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Atma Bodha: 38

T hat Reality is One; though, owing to illusion, It appears to be multiple names and forms, attributes and changes, It always remains unchanged. [It is] like gold which, while remaining one, is formed into various ornaments. You are that One, that Brahman. Meditate on this in your mind.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Vivekachudamani; Prahhavananda, 1947, p. 51

T he entire universe is truly the Self. There exists nothing at all other than the Self. The enlightened person sees everything in the world as his own Self, just as one views earthenware jars and pots as nothing but clay.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Atma Bodha: 48

T he universe is truly Brahman, ... for that which is superimposed (the universe) has no separate existence from its substratum (Brahman). ….
The name, "universe," is superimposed on Brahman, but what we call the "universe" is [really] nothing but Brahman.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Vivekachudamani; Prahhavananda, 1947, p. 71

T he soul acts, to be sure, but the activity of the soul is not independent. It acts itself, but the Lord causes it to act.
Moreover, the Lord in causing it to act now has regard to its former efforts, and He also caused it to act in a former existence, having regard to its efforts previous to that existence.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Commentaries on The Vedanta Sutras; Vol. II, 2:3:42; Thibaut, 1962, p. 61

B ecause all selves are essentially non-different, and their apparent difference is due to nescience only, the individual soul, after having dispelled nescience by true knowledge, passes into unity with the supreme Self.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Commentaries on The Vedanta Sutras; Thibaut, 1962, Vol. 11, p. 173

T he Self is the witness, beyond all attributes, beyond action. It can be directly realized as pure Consciousness and infinite bliss. Its appearance as an individual soul is caused by the delusion of our understanding, and has no reality. By -its very nature, this appearance is unreal. When our delusion has been removed, it ceases to exist.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Vivekachudamani; Prahhavananda, 1947; p. 76

T he Self never undergoes change; the intellect never possesses consciousness. But when one sees all this world, he is deluded into thinking, "I am the seer, I am the knower." Mistaking one's Self for the individual entity, one is overcome with fear. If one knows oneself not as the individual but as the supreme Self, one becomes free from fear.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Atma Bodha: 26-27

M aya is neither real nor unreal, nor both together; She is neither identical with Brahman nor different from Him, nor both; She is neither differentiated nor undifferentiated, nor both. She is most wonderful and cannot be described in words.

... Everything, from the intellect down to the gross physical body, is the effect of Maya. Understand that all these and Maya itself are not the [absolute] Self, and are therefore unreal, like a mirage in the desert.

(Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara quote, Hinduism
Vivekachudamani; Prahhavananda, 1947; p. 59-62

T he yogi who knows that the entire splendor of the universe is his, who rises to the consciousness of unity with the universe, retains his Divinity even in the midst of various thoughts and fancies. (1) ... This entire universe is a sport of Consciousness. One who is constantly aware of this is certainly a liberated being (jivanmukta). (2)

Tantric scriptures quote, Hinduism / Tantra
(1) Ishvarapratyabijna, 11-12 ; (2) Spandakarika, 3:3

T hough in reality there is no bondage, the individual is in bondage as long as there exists the feeling of limitation in him. ... In fact, there never has been any veiling or covering anywhere in reality. No one has ever been in bondage. Please show me where such bondage exists. Besides these two false beliefs, that there is such a thing as bondage and such a thing as an individual mind, there is no bondage for anyone anywhere. (1)
... The individual soul (jiva) is Shiva; Shiva is jiva. When in bondage, it is jiva; freed from bondage, it is Shiva. (2)
... The knowledge of the identity between the jiva and Shiva constitutes liberation; lack of this knowledge constitutes bondage. (3)

Tantric scriptures quote, Hinduism / Tantra
(1) Tripurarahasya ; (2) Kudarnava Tantra, 9.42 ; (3) Ishvarapratyabijna Vimarshini

W hen the bliss of Consciousness is attained, there is the lasting acquisition of that state in which Consciousness is one's only Self, and in which all that appears is identical with Consciousness. Even the body is experienced as identical with Consciousness. (1)

... Awareness of the perceiver and the perceived is common to all beings. But with Self-realized yogis it is different; they are aware of them as one.

Tantric scriptures quote, Hinduism / Tantra
(1) Kshemaraj, Pratyabijnahridayam ; (2) Vijnanabhairava

F rom his transcendent station, the Lord in the form of the Guru frees one from all bondage. (1)
... The Guru is the means [to enlightenment]. (2)
... Initiation [by the Guru] is the first ladder to the terrace of Liberation. (3)
... The touch of the hand of the Guru destroys the impurities of the world and converts the base metal [of the disciple] into gold. (4)

Tantric scriptures quote, Hinduism / Tantra
(1) Kularnava Tantra, 12.25 ; (2) Vasugupta, Shiva Sutras, 2.6 ; (3) Parainananda Tantra ; (4) Jnanarnava Tantra, 24.41
