Ramesh S. Balsekar (1917–2009)

A fairly clear, and very readable, book on non-duality. Ramesh Balsekar was an educated man, president of an Indian bank, and fluent in English. To read a book written in English, rather than translated from Marathi or other Indian language gives it a decided advantage over those written by other sages.

Shri Balsekar makes a valiant effort to translate and explain the inexplicable Advait philosophy of Non-duality as realized by Sant Jnaneshwar. Sant means Saint and Jnan means Knowledge. It is heavy reading but a delight for one who can grasp its essence.

Clear and concise, Balsekar has opened Nisargadatta Maharaj to many Western followers of Advaitan philosophy.

At the back of the book, Balsekar has written 3 excellent Appendices, worth reading for themselves. As a matter of fact, the reader may benefit from reading them first, to begin with, and then rereading them at the end, again.

Excellent....you can't help but to eat this up.
