Sage Sankara is the foremost among the great sages of truth, that Mother India has produced. Sage Sankara was the expounder of the Advaitic wisdom.
Sage Sankara was a giant metaphysician, a practical philosopher, an infallible logician, a dynamic personality, and a stupendous moral and spiritual force.
Sage Sankara's grasping and elucidating powers knew no bounds. Sage Sankara was a Bramha Gnani . Sage Sankara was a sage of universal order.
Sage Sankara is a rationalist thinker, in contrast to the more traditional image of him as a theologian.
Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is not a philosopher dish cooked to suit exclusively the palate of the religion. It is like the air and the water, the common food for the whole of humanity.
It is the "Science of Truth," if rightly interpreted Sage Sankara’s wisdom as food for the whole of humanity, the universal wisdom par excellence. It has nothing to do with religion and yoga philosophy, but it is the Science of Truth. It is as wide and deep as the ocean which contains virtually all the water of the world and in which all particular forms ultimately dissolve.
Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara has been lost because orthodoxy projected him as the founder of their sect. All the Gurus of the past and present misinterpret and falsify.
Sage Sankara has unfolded the mystery of the universe and the mystery of God.
The Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is the most rational scientific and universal truth. Imparting the Advaitic wisdom to the unprepared mind sent would be ‘equivalent to giving sermons to the stone statues.
For Sage Sankara and his Advaitic wisdom, we have a very high reverence. The loftiness, calmness, firmness, and impartiality he deals with various questions, and his clarity of expression all make everyone revere the Sage more and more. Sage Sankara's wisdom will continue to shine as long as the sun shines.
Sage Sankara's scholarly erudition and his masterly way of exposition of intricate philosophical problems have won universal admiration.
Sage Sankara was a genius, a profound philosopher, and a religious reformer. Even scholars from all over the world pay their homage and respect to him. Of all the ancient systems, that of Sage Sankara will be found to be the most congenial and the easiest to accept to the modern mindset. Advaitic wisdom is an ancient truth preserved as a secret by Sages Sankara.
Sage Sankara’s supreme Atman is Attriubuteless (without the Gunas), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without attributes), and Akarta (non-agent). He is above all needs and desires.
Sage Sankara says, "This Atman is self-evident. This Atman, the Self is not established by proofs. It is not possible to deny this Atman, for it is the very essence of he who denies it. The Atman is the basis of all kinds of knowledge.
Satyam-Jnanam-Anantam-Anandam are
not separate attributes. They form the very essence of Atman. Atman cannot be
described, because description implies distinction. Atman cannot be
distinguished from any other than He.
The objective world is the world of names and forms has no independent existence. The Atman alone has a real existence. The world is only phenomenal.
Sage Sankara was
the exponent of Advaitic wisdom. Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom can be summed up in the following words:~
Brahma Satyam Jagat Mithya, Jeevo Brahmaiva Na Aparah
Atman alone is real; this world is unreal; the Jiva is identical with Atman.
Sage Sankara says Just as the snake is superimposed on the rope, this world in which we exist is superimposed on Atman, the Self. If you get knowledge of the rope, the illusion of the snake will vanish. Even so, if you get knowledge of Atman, the illusion of the world in which we exist will vanish.
Sage Sankara said:~
