The Vivekachudamani (Sanskrit: विवेकचूडामणि)
is a famous Sanskrit poem
ascribed to Adi Shankara (8th century).

It is written in the form of 580 verses
in the Shardula Vikridita metre.

The poem exposes the Advaita Vedanta philosophy,
one of the classic Indian paths to spiritual realization.

“Do not be proud of wealth, people, relations and friends, or youth. All these are snatched by time in the blink of an eye. Giving up this illusory world, know and attain the Supreme.”
