Sādhana Panchakam

Adi Sankara in these five simple looking verses lovingly lists the ways and means which can readily be followed by all students of Vedanta, seeking direct experience of the divine state beyond the mind, the spring of Consciousness. Any seeker who sincerely follows these pointers will surely not miss his way and wander into the labyrinth of futile, self-defeating negative arguments and false conclusions.

Sankara shows here the great path to Truth, the path that was trodden by the innumerable Masters of the Vedas and the Upanisads.
