In my view, the thing about non-duality is that what any teacher points out to is an understanding that transcends lower mind and as such in early days, we can at best hear the spoken words as a provisional hypothesis. It is only when we befriend silence that we position ourselves to spontaneously recognise the truth, which we are but know not, since thought spirals consume our attention.

Long back I attempted to read non-dual texts like the book by Nisargadatta ’I am that’ or the Ashtavakra Gita or for that matter Wu Wu Wei but to be honest, at that time what they said seemed like an unsolvable koan. Then partial recognition dawned. Why do I say partial? Because having been, seen and so known, the truth is clear but what is imbibed yet needs to be assimilated.

I like Rupert Spira and Aaron Abke too, as also all teachers who are yet students themselves! In fact, actually all paths lead to the same understanding eventually.
