It So Happened That: The Unique Teaching of Ramesh S. Balsekar With Stories And Anecdotes

by Ramesh S. Balsekar and Mary Ciofalo

The daily talks with Ramesh Balsekar are an eloquent and delightful happening of the Teachings of pure Advaita (Non-duality). When the ego asks: “How can the intellectual understanding, which is a conceptual understanding, become the truth for me?”, Ramesh explains: “It can only be known from personal investigation and experience that ‘no action is my action’. The teaching can be of use only if it helps you to live your life in peace.” Every conversation is new and fresh.

About the Author:

Ramesh S. Balsekar is a disciple of the late Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, a renowned Advaita master. From early childhood, Balsekar was drawn to Advaita, a nondual teaching, particularly the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and Wei Wu Wei. Ramesh has written over 20 books, and discusses the Indian philosophy of Advaita daily in Bombay, with visitors from around the world. The basic concept is that "all there is, is Consciousness"; all actions are happenings, the functioning of the Primal Energy, and not the doing by anyone. Ramesh frames the concepts in the context of daily living, speaking from his experience as a bank president and a family man.
