Ramesh Balsekar

    May 25, 1917 – September 27, 2009

    Ramesh S. Balsekar, a disciple of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, drew from the Advaita Vedanta tradition. His teachings begin with the premise of an ultimate Source, Brahman, from which creation arises. Once creation has emerged, the world and life operate mechanistically according to both divine and natural laws. Balsekar taught that free will is an illusion, as all that occurs is caused by this single Source—pure Consciousness, which is incapable of choice or action.

      Retired bank president, golfer, husband, and father doesn't fit the stereotype of an Indian guru—which may account for Ramesh Balsekar's enormous popularity. His background and education, combined with his profound spiritual studies, make him an ideal bridge between East and West, the spiritual and the material. 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: in short, that nonduality is the all-encompassing truth. This anthology comprises thematic extracts from all the master’s written works to date. Approved by Balsekar, as well as by his leading disciple, Wayne Liquorman, it is powerful, accessible, witty, and always to the point.

      Explorations into the Eternal
    • Erfrischend direkt und mit der heiteren Gelassenheit des wahren Weisen hält Ramesh Balsekar allen übereifrigen Erleuchtungssuchern den Spiegel vor. Stundenlang auf dem Meditationskissen zu sitzen ist keine Garantie für erweitertes Bewusstsein! Wer dagegen zu spontanem Handeln findet und unverkrampft dem Leben seinen Lauf lässt, der wird empfänglich für das Ganze des Universums und für echte Erfüllung. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie das Bewusstsein völlig mühelos auf allem, was gerade geschieht, zu ruhen vermag. Ob der Alltag Freuden oder Probleme bringt – in der Gegenwart der Wahrheit fühlt sich jeder Mensch gelöst und in Frieden.
