4.0 out of 5 stars A lot of material in a short space., January 13, 2011
This review is from: Experiencing the Teaching (Paperback)
The book deals with several Advaita topics, each a few pages long, taken from talks with students and Balsekar.

Most readers will need to read this over 3 or more times in order to "get it", if they even are capable of doing so. However, the prize is worth the effort, and the reader may get the "punchline" at some point, being the the 'apperception' that there is no individual self etc. (standard teachings of Nisargadatta et. al).

The reader will need to deal with a lot of jargon, such as sentences to the likes of "True perceiving means perceiving the phenomenality as such - and therefore the phenomenal objects - after apperceiving the identity of phenomenality and noumenality." Unfortunately, the average guy on the street won't be open to this level of understanding.

However, for those interested in self enquiry, nonduality, and seeking something with a 'punch', this book does deliver, and there are quite a few enjoyable conversations laid out within.
