What's Wrong with Right Now Unless You Think About It?

Bob Adamson

This book is one of the finest Advaitan texts ever. I spent five weeks living with Sailor Bob, and the difference between his teachings and other Advaitans is that he teaches only non-duality.

As one who awakened while with Nisargadatta Maharaj, (author of I Am That), Bob's teaching is absolutely pure. He leaves no room whatsoever for dualistic thinking. He offers the student nothing to attain in the future—no carrots, no falsehoods. All is right here, right now. His book directly and powerfully points students toward Presence Awareness—what he describes as the "natural state," which is non conceptual, ever present, self shining, one without another.

Bob was told by Nisargadatta that the best thing he could do was to "take others beyond the need for help." For those who are ready, this book accomplishes that.
