The last words of Sage Shankaracharya

 

(c 788-820 CE) -

"I desire the direct vision of the true nature of the self, which is without a second, for all beings who are tormented by the sufferings of this world and whose hearts are injured by ignorance. I'm the fearless pure (contentless) consciousness.

Indeed, I accept all faiths, but I also go beyond them.

I take refuge in the true nature of the self which is always pristine, pure and free by its very nature.
