Ramesh Balsekar has given talks and seminars in the US, Europe, and South India. Though he always addresses the same subject-Consciousness and the teachings of pure Advaita (or non-duality)-he never speaks about it in exactly the same way twice. But one thing remains constant: his wit, humor, and smart comic timing, as well as his deep wisdom. Here, in one collection, are his engaging stories, jokes, quotes, and anecdotes: the heart of Balsekar's inspirational Advaitic teachings. Among the writing included are essays discussing free will, the thinking and the working mind, children and their understanding, and self-inquiry, as well as prayers and personal tales about Ramesh€s own life.
