Adi Shankara

“ Sloka #11 Translation Work is for the purification of the mind, not for the perception of the reality. The realisation of Truth is brought about by discrimination and not in the least by ten millions of acts. ”

“ The man of discrimination between the Real and the unreal, whose mind is turned away from the unreal, who possesses calmness and the allied virtues, and Is longing for Liberation, is alone considered qualified to inquire after Brahman. ”

“ The intelligent and learned man skilled in arguing in favour of the Scriptures and refuting counter-arguments against them, — one who has got the above characteristics is the fit recipient of the knowledge of the Atman. ”
