Great Gifts

Shankara taught that three things were the great gifts of God: 

(1) human body, (2) thirst after God, and (3) a teacher who can show us the light. 

When these three great gifts are ours, we may know that our redemption is at hand. Only knowledge can free and save us, but with knowledge must go virtue.
