What it is about
Atma Bodha, the knowledge of the self.
Context and history
Sixty-eight verses attributed to Shankara (8th c.), the shortest introduction to Advaita Vedanta: the individual soul and Brahman are one, and the difference is ignorance. For Indian thought Shankara is what Aquinas is for scholasticism — the systematiser who fixes the vocabulary of everyone who follows.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
The preview is hidden because the digitized text is not reliable enough. The full work remains available.
