Answer:
The Teachings of Sri Shankaracharya
The teachings of Shankara can be summed up in half a verse:
“Brahma Satyam Jagan Mithya Jivo Brahmaiva Na Aparah—Brahman (the Absolute) is alone real; this world is unreal; and the Jiva or the individual soul is non-different from Brahman.”
This is the quintessence of his philosophy.
Adi Shankara Acharya travelled widely in India and preached his Advaita philosophy wherever he went. He taught that supreme Brahman is Nirguna (without the Gunas), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without attributes) and Akarta (non-agent). Brahman is above all needs and desires. Brahman alone is real, this world is unreal; and the Jiva is identical with Brahman.
His teachings are available in the book Upadesa Sahasri: A Thousand Teachings, written by the great philosopher himself.
