Joseph Maynor Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) "It has been said that when the mind is divested of ideation by virtue of the realisation of the Truth that is Brahman, and when there is an absence of external objects of perception, it becomes tranquil, controlled, and withdrawn like fire that has no fuel. And it has been further said that when the mind thus ceases to be the mind, duality also disappears." -- Adi Shankara, Commentary on Gaudapada Karika Edited July 3 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention 💬 🗯️🤍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
