Work Diligently To Purify The Thought-Life

"The human being is pure Spirit, free from attachment. Thought misleads him. It binds him with the shackles of the body, the senses and the breathing of life. It creates in him the feeling of ‘I’ and ‘mine’. It makes him endlessly wander in the midst of the fruits of the actions it causes.

The thought-shell therefore cannot be the Atman, the ‘True One’. It has a beginning and an end and is susceptible to change. It is the Sojourn of Pain.

Therefore the Seeker of Liberation must apply himself carefully to the purification of the Thought. When the Thinking is purified, the Liberation is as easy to grasp as the fruit that lies in the palm of your hand." - Shankara
