  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: Pointers from Ramesh Balsekar Gautam Sachdeva, 2008-04-01 Gautam Sachdeva first visited the Advaita sage Ramesh Balsekar in February 2000, and has been attending his talks ever since. Over a period of eight years, he also found himself taking on the role of a publisher, working intimately with Ramesh in the process of publishing some of his books. In May 2007, Gautam wrote an article in Life Positive, India's leading spiritual magazine, as a tribute to Ramesh on his 90th birthday. With the heartwarming response from readers to this article, and Ramesh's suggestion to make it into a booklet, he then put down what he considered the core of the teaching as presented by Ramesh - to seekers from all over the world - in his morning talks. This book is a summation of the core concepts in the spoken word of Ramesh, as if he were walking the seeker through his entire teaching in one morning talk. This is what Pointers From Ramesh Balsekar is about - pointers to dealing with life's situations, its pleasures and pains, with equanimity and peace of mind - from one of the world's leading Advaita sages.

  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: Let Life Flow: Meeting the Challenges of Daily Living in a Calm, Peaceful Way Ramesh Balsekar, 2016-05-06 Change, unceasing change which is the very basis of life and living, is what Let Life Flow is all about. Ramesh says that life is like a deep river, flowing incessantly, whereas the day-to-day living for most people is a preference for the security and stagnancy of the little pools beside the river. What happens in life is that the challenge is always new, but our response is old because it is formed on the past, which is memory. Experiencing with memory is one state, but experiencing without memory is altogether different. A new thought, an inspiration can happen only when the mind is not caught in the net of memory. It is only when the mind is still, tranquil, not seeking any solution, any answer, neither resisting nor avoiding, that it is capable of receiving what is true, that which is eternal, timeless, immeasurable. You cannot go to it, it comes to you; what liberates is the truth, not your effort to be free. Ramesh uses the river as an apt metaphor for his concept that no one is a doer but, rather, all actions are happenings ordained by the One Source, who some refer to as God. To perceive ourselves as the doers is like the river thinking that it is pushing itself onwards to the sea, or the sea thinking that the tides are its own doing - totally oblivious of the fact that is the gravitational force of the moon that is responsible for their ebb and flow. To let life flow, in general terms, means that we should go about our daily routine with a relaxed attitude, based on the total basic understanding that nothing at all can happen unless it is supposed to happen according to one's destiny, according to the Cosmic Law.
  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: Power Vs. Truth Scott Jeffrey, 2013-01-14 In their quest for meaning and higher truth, many people seek out a teacher or a path. The longing for higher consciousness, spiritual growth, and a connection to God directs us to someone or something we believe can provide answers and point the way. Power vs. Truth examines the teachings of David R. Hawkins, a psychiatrist-turned-guru who claims to have discovered a bulletproof method for discerning the absolute truth about anything. He heralds his muscle test for truth as the most important discovery in mankind's history. Written by Hawkins' authorized biographer-formerly one of his most devoted and outspoken students-Power vs. Truth is a brave examination of Hawkins' life and works. Including revelations uncovered during the research for Hawkins' biography, this book offers an intimate and sobering look at the teachings that have captivated tens of thousands of students worldwide.
  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: Collision with the Infinite Suzanne Segal, 2020-02-06 A new edition of this spiritual classic with a preface by Stephan Bodian, friend of the late author and the original editor of Collision with the Infinite. Stephan writes: Since the book first appeared in 1996, spiritual awakening and the nondual perspective it reveals have become increasingly popular among seekers who realize the limitations of progressive practices and want more immediate access to the limitless openness and freedom of their essential nature. At the same time, a number of teachers have emerged who point directly to this truth and invite their students to inquire into their experience, rest in awareness, and realize the truth for themselves. Long before these resources were readily available, Suzanne had a powerful awakening that completely obliterated the illusion of a separate self. But in 1982 she could find no one to guide her through the process, and as a result she spent years in fear, wandering from therapist to therapist, desperately trying to cure herself of being no one, because no one in her world knew what to make of her experience. After a dozen years in the wilderness of what she describes as a spiritual wintertime, she emerged into the radiant springtime of full nondual realization. Because she awoke without a teacher or tradition, and her understanding was so complete, her detailed descriptions of how the vastness functions through these body-minds to realize itself in form are original, and fresh from their source. I'm thrilled to have this spiritual classic back in print, after years of languishing in obscurity. Now I can begin recommending it to my students once again and share with them the clarity of her vision. As I say in the afterword, Suzanne never pretended to be a teacher, preferring instead to call herself a describer of what it's like to live as the vastness. In this profound and articulate memoir, she chronicles her journey, and in the process transmits the wisdom that revealed itself to her. Editorial reviews Collision with the Infinite is like a diamond on fire with living spirit, and a testament to the strange and wonderful ways that spiritual awakening can unpredictably burst forth in any one of us at any time. Read this book as what it has always been, a modern-day revelation of how spiritual presence came alive in one extraordinarily ordinary woman, and how she embodied it like the sky embodies a shooting star. -Adyashanti A fascinating, deeply moving account of a powerful spiritual opening and the ensuing process of understanding and integration. The book dispels some of our most cherished myths about spiritual awakening-especially that it is a blissful and easy process. Awakening is not the end of the path, but the beginning of a sometimes difficult journey. -Steve Taylor Ph.D., author of The Leap: The Psychology of Spiritual Awakening
  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: Who Cares?! Ramesh Sadashiv Balsekar, 2002-05 Consciousness Is All There Is. So Who Is To Know Or Seek What ?

  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: The Ultimate Understanding Ramesh S. Balsekar, 2017-08-07 The Ultimate Understanding, is, according to Ramesh himself, a book containing the full essentials of the philosophy of Advaita, or Non-duality (Unicity). It is perhaps the most explicitly expressed book on this complex subject. What is the ultimate understanding? That there is no one to understand anything. Recognized as one of the foremost contemporary sages, married and father of three, and a banker who retired from the top of his profession, Ramesh could be considered a householder Guru. In his latest book, Ramesh shares openly, poignantly, and with stunning humility, how a sage lives his life. Backed by the total conviction of the final understanding of a true Master, and at the same time presented from the perspective of life as we know it, this treasure of Advaita is unrivalled in its unique conceptual expression of the highest Truth, delivered with fundamental wisdom, simplicity, and clarity - and with Ramesh's widely-loved gaiety and humor. Ramesh elaborates his own concepts with those of his Guru, Nisargadatta Maharaj, the Buddha, Ramana Maharshi, selected Hindu scriptures, several Taoist Masters and Wei Wu Wei, all serving as pointers to the Truth, to the ultimate understanding. While the book is a compilation of such classic themes as the nature of the phenomenal manifestation including the human being, the concept of space-time, temporality and Intemporality, the Guru, free will and non-volitional living, enlightenment and Self-realization, the Impersonal Energy - the Source, Noumenon or God, and conclusively, 'Consciousness is all there is', Ramesh explicitly summarizes that ultimately what he is talking about is the most important thing in your life: peace and harmony in your life. A rare gift to anyone and everyone seeking insight into how life happens, The Ultimate Understanding is perhaps the pinnacle of Ramesh's writing. The Ultimate Understanding, heralds the total message he has to convey. What else remains can only be the final understanding, the final Truth, the silence of Unicity.
  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: Matters of Vital Interest Eric Lerner, 2018-10-16 A memoir of the author's decades-long friendship and spiritual journey with the late singer, songwriter, novelist, and poet Leonard Cohen Leonard Cohen passed away in late 2016, leaving behind many who cared for and admired him, but perhaps few knew him better than longtime friend Eric Lerner. Lerner, a screenwriter and novelist, first met Cohen at a Zen retreat forty years earlier. Their friendship helped guide each other through life's myriad obstacles, a journey told from a new perspective for the first time. Funny, revealing, self-aware, and deeply moving, Matters of Vital Interest is an insightful memoir about Lerner's relationship with his friend, whose idiosyncratic style and dignified life was deeply informed by his spiritual practices. Lerner invites readers to step into the room with them and listen in on a lifetime's ongoing dialogue, considerations of matters of vital interest, spiritual, mundane, and profane. In telling their story, Lerner depicts Leonard Cohen as a captivating persona, the likes of which we may never see again.
  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: Awakening to the Dream Leo Hartong, 2003-07-01 For centuries, philosophers and theologians have pondered questions such as Who are we? and What is the self? Awakening to the Dream is a book about you and your true identity. Awakening to the Dream is a very clear, approachable overview of the enigmatic philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, also known as non duality. Essentially, this is a book about you. It points to and from the source of your true identity. The clear seeing that it refers to is neither complex nor simple. It is not something exclusive for intellectual or spiritual elite, nor is it remote or hiding in the future. It is all inclusive, pure presence, closer than your breath. It is the heart of hearts, your birthright and innermost self. This is your invitation to remember what was never really forgotten.

  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: The Only Way to Live Ramesh Balsekar, 2006-09-01 Whatever I decide and do in any situation, depends on two factors: my genes and conditioning, which God has made. Whatever action I do will, of course, have its consequences - good, bad or indifferent - as judged by society, which I have to accept. The fact remains, however, that I cannot make a mistake. I cannot commit a sin. Therefore I live like God, not afraid of living and not afraid of dying.

Documented by distinguished sources, The Field is a book of hope and inspiration for today's world.
  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: Hunting the 'I' Lucy Cornelssen, 2003-01-01 This book presents the core of Bhagavan's teaching in a highly readable manner. With regard to why any investigation into the meaning of life might be desirable, it begins, 'Are you happy?' When you reply with the counter question, 'What is happiness?' that means you have already observed how brittle, how transient and short-lived your so-called happiness is. Thus starts the investigation into the true nature of your Being, which is itself Happiness. There is an excellent explanation here of using the gap between sleeping and waking as an opportunity to have one foot in Pure Consciousness and one in wakefulness; to access the thoughtlessness of deep dreamless sleep from the recognition available in the waking state.

  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: Self-Realization and Other Awakenings Ed Muzika, 2013-02-01 Ed Muzika received his Ph.D. in Psychology during 1987 after having spent 12 years as a Zen monk under six Zen masters, and a two year stint with Baba Muktananda. In 1989 he met his Advaita teachers: Robert Adams, a student of Ramana Maharshi, and Jean Dunn, successor to Nisargadatta; both were highly instrumental for his own awakening. Ed went on to develop his own style of teaching, which is more personal, more about bringing God, the Self-Transcendent, back into everyday life, loving relationships, and helping all sentient beings through compassionate action. This book is about the practical aspects of attaining Self-Realization, an awakening as to all that YOU are by getting rid of all of the concepts, habits, conventions and conditioning that blind you to the greater YOU. To become the Self that you are you have to become naked and unknowing. Can you walk with me into Nothingness to discover the miracle you really are?

  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: The Wisdom of Balsekar Ramesh S. Balsekar, 2004 Now in his eighties and regarded as the world's greatest living sage, Balsekar is the primary exponent of the teaching of Advaita, which holds that everything is one, that all humanity is an intrinsic part of the universe rather than split from it. This anthology comprises thematic extracts from all of his written works to date.
  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: Pointers From Ramana Maharshi Read And Reflect Ramesh Sadashiv Balsekar, 2008 The Sage of Aunachala preferred to teach in silence. But when he did use words, he used only a few words and used them with telling effects. What struck you most about what he said was the authority of knowing that backed each word uttered. Though all of what Ramana said was rich with meaning, if one has to grasp the very core of his teaching one needs to sieve and filter, doggedly staying focussed on the very fundamentals of what he taught. Even those who have read many books on Ramana's teachings will find this book different: focussed on the ultimate happiness as one's very nature.
  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: Your Unique Consciousness Dr. Anthony J. Emmett, 2023-03-20 The story of consciousness describes the mystery we are; where we come from before birth and where we go after death; and the thinking both in our body mind and subconscious and beyond it. It is the dimensions of rational awareness of mind and heart we use for our ego and creative life on earth, and in other dimensions around us. Imagine that you have an all-pervading higher intelligence within in your many layered consciousness. How we employ it for this dynamic life with love, and the ways it works, make you the self you are. Consciousness is an energy which comes into the brain of the embryo to activate the mind for this life; it functions at many levels. The level we call the heart is an influence emotionally with love and loving. Consciousness radiates, and the way it relates in us and beyond is the story of our lives. We can use this to great effect with certain techniques. We are alive in several levels of consciousness.
  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: The Open Secret Tony Parsons, 1998 The Open Secret is a singular and radical work which speaks of the fundamental liberation that is absolutely beyond effort, path, process, or belief. Throughout my early life I felt that there was another possibility that, once realised, would transform all and everything. One day that possibility became a reality, and it was simple and ordinary, magnificent and revolutionary. It is the open secret that reveals itself in every part of our lives. But realisation does not emerge through our attempts to change our lives; it comes as a direct rediscovery of 'who' it is that lives. The past and future are simply part of the drama that keeps us locked into the illusion of being separate entities. Once the gate has opened into another possibility, then the real adventure begins.

  consciousness speaks ramesh balsekar: The Power of I Am John Maxwell Taylor, 2005-12-29 Fear, anger, anxiety, negativity, rudeness, information overload — the stressors of modern life can make just getting through the day a daunting task. Since 1985, John Maxwell Taylor has been moving through the collective madness with joy, spirit, and strength. The Power of I Am invites the reader to join him on this journey. Combining principles from martial arts, mindfulness, body-centered awareness, and spiritual and scientific principles, this engaging mix of practical tools, stories, and life lessons teaches personal empowerment through gaining inner strength in social situations and dealing effectively with negative people. The author uses real-world experiences to show readers how to stop being drained by “energy vampires,” how to defuse conflict by boosting energy levels when trouble comes, how to eliminate stage fright and other social anxieties, how to increase personal magnetism and sense of self, and how to tap the existing, but often dormant, power of the mind for personal transformation.
