Nisargadatta's Best ! Better than I Am That,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pointers from Nisargadatta Maharaj (Paperback)
I have read several books on/by Nisargadatta. 'Pointers' is by far the the most enjoyable and informative. The dialogs presented are clearly organised and consise. While the answers seem to clearly address the questioners concerns, Nisargadatta's dialogs present a leap in understanding, expertly translated by Ramesh Balsekar. I have passed many of my Advaita books on to friends but will never part with this one. It truly is one of the best presentations of Advaita I've found. The Understanding presented seems works on many levels, making for a truly amazing 'read'.

The reading itself initiates a process of deep self-inquiry,
By jog@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu (Austin,TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pointers from Nisargadatta Maharaj (Paperback)
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj is perhaps not as well known as Jiddu Krishnamurti, Osho or Alan Watts. Ramesh Balsekar's "Pointers from Nisargadatta Maharaj" is a concise work reflecting the essence of Maharaj's teachings. Those who found Maurice Frydman's "I am That" too exhaustive will find this book refreshing. The reading itself can be a powerful experience. One is never the same again! Balsekar's strengths lie in his ability to clearly yet forcefully encourage the reader to sincerely question everything. The message that enlightenment cannot be attained by volition is important and must be fully grasped.

Superb book - great for Eckhart Tolle readers,
By Ned Kelly (Australia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pointers from Nisargadatta Maharaj (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book that penetrates deeply and carries the presence of Nisargadatta. I have found that Eckhart Tolle's teachings made it easier to understand this book, and that this book helped me to listen/read Eckhart at a deeper level - in other words the teachings are completely complimentary and mututally reinforcing - after all there is only one teaching ultimately.The way in which the book came about is very interesting, and it is good to know that Nisargadatta himself directly approved of this book. Nisargadatta makes many suggestions for a spiritual practice, which are highly practical and can be incorporated in daily life. Nisargadatta himself became Self Realized though a specific practice, and outlines exactly what others should do. The Appendices are a bit complicated - that does not matter as the main message is in Nisargadatta's words, which fills 95% of the book. Highly recommended and when you are finished read "I AM THAT"
