He was an important reformist in the 12th Century. He believed in physical toil, practiced community labour and advocated equality for women in public life.

Shiva Sutra Quotes

Every individual who is aware of his spiritual nature being Atman realizes of his being an actor on the world stage; and he is, therefore, not affected or deluded by the particular role he is enacting. The manifested world is the stage on which the manifested Jiva play their limited roles. It is mind (mental knowledge) that is vitiated by the illusion of duality, and is the source and instrument of bondage of the spirit in man which is inherently free, and essentially an expression of the Reality. Only on overcoming delusion of mind caused by attachment even to the subtlest objects on the highest planes of manifestation, there is attainment of that Knowledge, inherent in Reality, all-embracing and through which anything can be accomplished.
