Adi Shankaracharya quotes

• "Like the appearance of silver in mother of pearl, the world seems real until the Self, the underlying reality, is realized."
• “Where renunciation and longing for liberation are weak, tranquillity and the other virtues are a mere appearance, like the mirage in the desert.”
• “Sickness is not cured by saying 'Medicine,' but by drinking it.”
• "At dawn, I meditate in my heart on the truth of the radiant inner Self. This true Self is Pure Being, Awareness, and Joy, the transcendent goal of the great sages. The eternal witness of the waking, dream and deep sleep states. I am more than my body, mind and emotions, I am that undivided Spirit."
• “When our false perception is corrected, misery ends also.”
