This book is a look into the heart of the Universe. It is simple and profound. Too long and redudant by far and yet too short to even begin to cover its subject. You might think that it is attempting to describe the indescribable but you would be mistaken. Ramesh, out of infinite compassion for the plight of the seeker, presents here a series of pointers, gestures towards a Truth that is omnipresent and yet unseeable. 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.
