Conversations with Nisargadatta Maharaj. English translation of question-answer sessions with Advaita Vedanta (non-duality) guru in Mumbai. He does not tell people what to believe, but says do this--namely concentrate on "I am"-- and you'll never be the same again. No problem is so bad that dis-engagement can't fix it. Give up clinging to the past and fearing the future. You are not your body, you are not your mind. What you are, your true self, can only be approached by realizing what it is not. Just be. And follow your inner guru. He says many things off the cuff that seem fit to be framed.
