The highest men (humans) are calm, silent, and unknown. They are the men who really know the power of thought; they are sure that, even if they go into a cave and close the door and simply think five true thoughts and then pass away, these five thoughts of theirs will live through eternity. Indeed such thoughts will penetrate through the mountains, cross the oceans, and travel through the world. They will enter deep into human hearts and brains and raise up men and women who will give them practical expression in the workings of human life.

Shri Ramaṇa Maharshi's selected verses from Vivekachūḍāmaṇi

This is a divine compilation of select Sanskrit verses by Bhagavān Shri Ramaṇa Maharshi from Vivekachūḍāmaṇi attributed to Shri Ādi Shankara. The Maharshi’s selections also include corresponding Tamil verses composed by Shri Bhikshu Shāstri (Ulaganātha Swāmigal). While Shri Shankara is universally popular for his enormous contributions to Advaita Vedānta, Shri Shāstri, hailing from the 19th century Thiruvidaimarudur in the present Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is said to have translated multiple other works into Tamil including Ribhu Gita, Mukti Khanda of Suta Samhita and Suta Gita. English translation for the Sanskrit version is by Swami Mādhavānanda, the ninth President of Rāmakrishna Math and the Rāmakrishna Mission.
