[Advaita-l] Fwd: Looking for reference of a shloka

[Girish Aj]

Girish here.
I could not get the full import of the shloka.
What does shankaracharya mean??
1. What does he equate intelligence to? Samskara and roopa?
2. What is the reference to raha, dvesh and bhaya?
3. What does one hold on to intellectual wealth or atma jnana?

Namaste
Girish
