Atma Bodha is an ancient text written by
Adi Shankaracharya. Atma means ‘soul’ and bodha means knowledge. Atma Bodha (knowledge of Self) is a
Vedantic text.
Shankaracharya implies in Atma Bodha that knowledge of self can destroy ignorance faster and better than action. He states that attachment, desire, pleasure and pain are all in the mind and not part of Atma (soul).
