Ātma-bōdha (Sanskrit: आत्मबोधः ) which means - 'Self-knowledge' or 'Knowledge of the Self' or 'The awakening of ātmān', is a short Sanskrit text believed to have been written by Shankara of the 8th century. He teaches that the Ultimate Reality whose effulgence radiates through the vesture of all forms, is beyond name and form and is in fact of the nature of Pure Consciousness. This ultimate Reality can be realized quickly by pursuing the Path of direct Knowledge, not by worship.
