Advaita And The Buddha

by Ramesh S. Balsekar

Overview

Ramesh S. Balsekar, since retiring as president of the Bank of India, has been teaching Advaita (non-duality) for over twenty years to seekers from around the world. He has also written a number of books on Advaita. In the conversations in this book Ramesh points to the ‘intrinsic closeness’ between modern physics, Hinduism and Buddhism in their similar recognition of the ‘Unbroken Wholeness’ of the manifest universe. In the context of his concept of how life happens, Ramesh answers the question: “What is it that distinguishes a sage from an ordinary person?” His answer: “A sage enjoys the shanti (peace) of nirvana while living his life in the samsara of dukkha (misery).” In the conversations Ramesh opens the way to freedom from bondage to the conceptual universe.

About the Author

Ramesh Balsekar, a teacher of pure Advaita, or non-duality, is an unearthly blend of the utterly human and utterly divine manifesting as a brilliant spiritual Master. His crystal-clear and profound teachings are backed by his complete understanding that “Nobody does anything” coupled with his life experience as a top executive of a major Indian bank, as a huband, father and grandfather – all lived knowing that it is all happening as God’s Will. For much of his full life Ramesh, whose Guru was Nisargadatta Maharaj, has been devoted to Ramana Maharshi, in whose spirit Ramesh welcomes seekers and asks “Who is seeking? Leave the seeking to Him who started the seeking.”
