Advaita is a spiritual philosophy based on the Upanishads older than most other religious systems we know about but also the most logical & scientific in its approach. The literal meaning is Not two". There is only one truth
- but it has to be said there are many teachers. So how is a "seeker" to choose between them? This book is a systematic treatment of Advaita which demystifies it differentiating between approaches & teachers enabling you to decide which approach is most suitable for you. It compares the scriptures of traditional Advaita with the words of contemporary sages & neo-Advaita. Should we ignore the mind? Is the world real? Is there anything we can do to become "enlightened"? These questions & many more are addressed with explanations given in their own words from those who discovered the truth. This is a massively comprehensive definitive work."
