Karl friedrichk gauss was one of the greatest mathematicians who ever lived. The story goes back some 250 years to a small town in germany, in those days, brunswick. At that time, gauss was just a nine-year-old boy. How had this little boy managed, in an instant, to add up from one to 100? And he was stunned.

"The objects of knowledge, viz., sound, touch, etc., which are perceived in the waking state, are different from each other because of their peculiarities; but the consciousness of these, which is different from them, does not differ because of its homogeneity." Inspired by this verse from the book, Pancadasi by Vidyaranya (Ch 1, Verse 3), Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a discourse on direct path of Advaita Vedanta.
