The Ultimate Medicine, as Prescribed by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: Dialogues with a Realized Master

Edited by Robert Powell, Ph.D.

Unlike I Am That which has gained cult status, this book seems to be relatively undiscovered. The master is the same, the teaching is the same, and in fact, I think, this book is far more easily read and absorbed. (Maybe I think that way because the print is much larger and my eyes are getting weaker as I age.) In any event, the message is the same and the personality of the master comes through just as well. The following, taken from the editor's note is a pretty good choice for getting to the root of the Advaita teaching as revived by Nisargadatta: "Jivatman is the one who identifies with the body-mind as an individual separate from the world. The atman is only Beingness, or the consciousness, which is the world. The Ultimate principle which knows this Beingness cannot be named at all. It cannot be approached or conditioned by any words. That is the Ultimate state." —Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

It's easy huh? Just understand that short paragraph and you will have it all. Good luck and enjoy!
