5.0 out of 5 stars The reading itself initiates a process of deep self-inquiry, November 23, 1998
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is clarity, September 17, 2001
By Jon (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pointers from Nisargadatta Maharaj (Paperback)
Pointers from Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj is, in my opinion, the clearest testament to realisation ever committed to paper. Beyond stating that, there really is nothing else for me to add.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nisargadatta's Best ! Better than I Am That, March 6, 2002
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'.
