Brahma Jnanavali Mala – Verse 20
Knowledge of the Blissful Self

Brahman (Self) is real, the universe is mithya (it cannot be categorized as either real or unreal). The jiva (individual soul) is Brahman itself and not different. This should be understood as the correct Sastra (scriptural teaching). This is proclaimed by Vedanta.

Adi Sankara Teachings

Brahma Jnanavali Mala – Verse 16
Knowledge of the Blissful Self

I am free from the three kinds of afflictions – those in the body, those from other beings and those caused by higher powers. I am different from the gross, subtle and causal bodies. I am the witness of the three states of waking, dream and deep sleep. I am the very Self, indestructible and changeless.
