The philosopher-saint Shankara was just a 16-year-old child prodigy when he challenged the most sophisticated Buddhist and orthodox Hindu systems of thought with his radical philosophy "Advaita Vedanta" 1200 years ago. In his works, he logically proves that the true nature of reality is Advaita (non-dual) and how realising this will free you from suffering. His works explore the relationship between matter and consciousness and provide a very eloquent solution by investigating the relationship between the Knower, Known and Knowledge. Trying to understand and realise his teachings has been the solace of my life, and it will be the solace of my death.
