"Nisargadatta Maharaj is my greatest teacher. His
words guide my writing, speaking and all of my relationships. The singular
pursuit of the awakened person is to find that part of himself or herself
that cannot be destroyed by death. I know of no one who can aid you
more on that journey that Nisargadatta Maharaj. His wisdom guided me
throughout the writing of Your Sacred Self." —Dr. Wayne Dyer,
author or Your Erroneous zones and Your sacred Self.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897-1981) is a revered
master of the Tantric Nath lineage. His reputation and the popularity
of his works has been increasing at an astonishing rate since his death
in 1981. He is an inspiring example of an ordinary merchant and family
man who attained complete realization of the Infinite, who taught that
true freedom is a possibility for every one of us. Disciples and seekers
from all over the world were drawn to his humble home in the tenements
of Bombay.
Even on the printed page, in this moving volume
of talks edited by Robert Powell, Nisargadatta's words carry a special
potency. They are the words of a compassionate wise man, speaking equally
to the heart-oriented and the head-oriented person, to East and West.
Robert Powell, the editor of these talks, is a
well-known, widely published spiritual author. Among his other publications,
his book Zen and Reality has sold over 50,000 copies. Dr. Powell is
recognized as one of the most inspired and knowledgeable writers on
the subject of Advaita, the teaching of non-duality. He guides us beyond
the realm of ego, beyond the illusion of subject and object, self and
other. This is where the mind and cognition cannot take us, and Dr.
Powell does a masterful job of lighting the path to where we have never
been.
