Publisher's Synopsis
In this book Adi Da Samraj offers his unique renderings of the dharma of the great sages of Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism, including Gotama Sakyamuni, Nagarjuna, Shankara, and Ribhu. Rather than simply translate their teachings from available source texts, Adi Da, himself a Realized Master, respeaks them as one who has personally realised their truth, revealing that the Buddhist "Nirvana" and the Advaitic "Brahman" point to the same transcendental condition. Adi Da's transmissions restore to these texts the profound communication intended by the spiritual masters who created them. The ego nurtures the illusion of separation, an illusion that cannot be removed by the ego's own efforts. It is only the spiritual master who makes possible the realisation of egoless consciousness. The great sages proclaimed a state of spiritual realisation that exceeded both worldly dualism and mystical seeking. They had awakened to a reality that spoke of abiding in a state of consciousness only. Adi Da brings these remarkable declarations back to life and then concludes with his own unique description of a realisation that transcends even these extraordinary utterances- the realisation of Reality As It Is, free of all forms of the ego's search.
